The short loop
Marked with yellow posts. About 20 minutes, no dead ends longer than a hundred feet, and it comes out next to the goat yard. Good for strollers and under-sevens.
Pumpkins, maze & hayrides
The other half of the farm
Across the gravel road from the apple rows: a 12-acre pumpkin field you ride out to on a wagon, an 8-acre corn maze, a goat yard, and the hay-bale hill that every kid finds before their parents do.
Pumpkin patch
Pick it in the field, pay by the size
We grow Howden and Magic Lantern for carving, Cinderella and Jarrahdale for the porch, and small Winter Luxury pie pumpkins that actually taste like something. Gourds and mini pumpkins are in bins by the barn.
Pumpkins are priced by size, not weight, so you know the cost before you carry one back. Clippers are at the field gate; cut the vine, don't yank it, and leave three inches of stem — a pumpkin with no stem rots in a week.
- Mini & gourdsFits in one hand$1.50
- Pie pumpkinWinter Luxury, 4–6 lb$4
- Small carvingUp to a basketball$6
- Medium carvingNeeds two hands$10
- Large carvingNeeds a wagon$16
- GiantNeeds two people and a wagon — about 50 lb and up$28
- Cinderella / JarrahdaleAny size$12
Size is judged at the pay station by the sizing rings on the counter. If a pumpkin is between rings, it is the smaller price. Wagons are free and are usually all at the field around 2 pm on Saturdays — bring your own if you have one.
Corn maze
Eight acres, three miles of trail, one bur oak
Every year the maze is cut into a new design in late June, when the corn is knee high. This year it's the hollow bur oak at the top of our hill, leaves and all. You will not see the shape from inside. That is the point.
The full maze
Red posts. Sixty to ninety minutes if you are paying attention; longer if you're not. Ten numbered checkpoints — punch all ten on your card and trade it for a free donut at the barn.
Two bridges
Both bridges are on the full maze and are the only places you can see over the corn. Take a bearing, make a plan, lose the plan within four turns. Everyone does.
Maze rules & what to know
- Open the same hours as the farm. Last entry to the full maze is one hour before close; the short loop is open until close.
- Stay on the cut paths. Pushing through the corn ruins the maze for the people behind you and the corn for the cattle farmer who buys it in November.
- Kids under 12 go in with an adult. Teenagers go in with a phone that has battery.
- Lost? Every checkpoint has a map. Really lost? Call the number on your card and a staff member on the bridge will talk you out.
- No smoking, vaping or open flame anywhere near the corn. Dry corn burns.
- Wet mornings: the paths are mowed turf and drain fast, but wear shoes you don't mind muddying.
Flashlight Maze nights
Fridays and Saturdays, October 9 – 24, 7–10 pm. The full maze in the dark, with the bridges lit and the checkpoints glowing. Bring your own flashlight or buy one at the gate for $3.
- $12 per person, ages 6 and up (no under-6s after dark). Includes a cup of hot cider at the barn.
- Separate from day admission. Day tickets don't carry over; night tickets don't include daytime.
- Not a haunted attraction. No actors, no jump scares — just dark corn, which is plenty.
- Bakery Barn is open with donuts, cider and chili until 9:30.
- Sells out most Saturdays. Reserve on the tickets page.
Hayride schedule
- Tue–Fri10:20 – 4:40, every 20 min
- Sat–Sun9:20 – 5:40, every 20 min
- Ride lengthAbout 15 min
- Weekday price$4 per person, under 3 free
- Weekend priceIncluded with admission
Two wagons run on weekends, one on weekdays. Each holds about 30 people on straw bales. Wheelchair users: the green wagon has a lift — ask at the barn and we'll hold it for you.
Hayrides
Out past the old trees, back past the beehives
The ride leaves from the big barn, climbs along the 1978 Haralson rows, loops around the hollow oak at the top of the hill (yes, you can see inside it — the opening is big enough for a ten-year-old), and drops down past the hives and the maze to the pumpkin field. You can get off at the pumpkin field and ride the next wagon back, or stay on for the full loop.
Tomas drives the morning rides and will tell you more than you wanted to know about rootstock. The afternoon driver, Deb, will tell you where the best Honeycrisp is hiding. Both are right.
Also on this side of the road
Goat yard
Nine Nigerian dwarf goats who have figured out that children carry food. Feed cups $1 at the fence. Hand-washing station right there.
Hay-bale hill
A pyramid of 200 round bales with a slide down the back. Grown-ups allowed. Grown-ups encouraged, actually.
Apple sling
Launch windfall apples at a target 150 feet away with a giant slingshot. Three apples for $2. The pigs on the other side of the fence clean up.
Picnic grove
Forty tables under the oaks between the barn and the maze. Outside food is fine here; so is a nap.
