In the fall the farm has hayrides, acres of pumpkins, campfires, corn mazes, and a country store overflowing with fall decorations as well as jams, jellies, local honey, apples, cider, crafts, mums, fall vegetables and much more. Visit the farm animals, take a walk, see the bee hives or make a scarecrow.

Take a scenic hayride to the nature trail and observe and learn about the farm crops. Learn hands-on about the natural resources, human resources and conservation. Your guide will walk the trail and field, discussing ecology and how we produce food.

We confer with teachers to customize these programs. The children will also feed the farm animals, and pick a pumpkin from the field to take home. The tour includes admission in the mini corn maze.
