What the visit includes
Know what is included before you promise children a full farm day.
Farm Access includes the corn maze, wagon ride, straw jump and animal area.
The orchard grows more than 18 apple varieties that ripen at different points in fall.
An eight-acre pumpkin patch and rare pick-your-own hazelnut crop extend the harvest beyond apples.
The porch market sells pre-picked produce, baked goods and seasonal products without requiring families to over-pick.
A realistic family plan
A smoother visit in three decisions.
- 1
Check which apples are ready and reserve a weekend ticket before the drive.
- 2
Take the wagon to the target field first, then use the corn maze and straw jump after picking.
- 3
Set a produce limit by bag or weight before children begin choosing pumpkins.
