Fall Farm Visits
Crazy about sunflower fields and cornmazes?Then our Triple Play of Mazes & More is right for you! We have planted three 15-min one-way labyrinths around the farm for you to enjoy this summer and fall. Your maze pass also includes a choice of three activities to enjoy either at home or at the farm. Choose to make and take a succulent teacup home OR take home a gem mine kit to enjoy at home, OR go on a veggie u-pick harvest tour and bring home some yummy veggies for dinner! We appreciate your support during these challenging times.
Please note: the playgrounds, play-structures, train, petting farm, haunted house, gem mine, and other high-contact activities will remain closed for the season.
