About
Our mission is to provide you with the experience of a rural farm – a return to the land and our roots. When you visit our farm home you will sense the great pride we have in providing you with fresh produce, bakery, caramel apples, fall colors and products. Lifetime family memories start here at one of the area’s oldest farms.

All of our pumpkins are sold by their size using “size rings”. There are 6 different sizes. You are encouraged to measure your pumpkin using the rings which are located around the farm buildings and near the fields. You can pick the pumpkins yourself or buy pre-picked.

We offer a corn maze for $3 per person. We try to keep you corn-fused for at least 20 minutes. It is a little over 2 acres. If you have time, you can help us figure out who stole the pie from the Bakers! It’s a fun little game to help your kids learn about animal tracks. There is a playground which is 50 cents per person. Most of the playground is for small children and toddlers. Older children can enjoy it as well, but grown kids don’t fit on the tricycles. Some of the things you’ll find here are the straw mountain which is for kids of all ages, straw maze for little ones, trike path for little tykes on trikes, swings and tepees. New this year is a Pedal Cart Track added next to the playground. This is fun for all ages!!

Visit our barnyard and find goats, Scottish Highland Cattle, sheep, peafowl, and chickens. Kids can feed the goats with goat pellets for 25 cents per hand.

Hayrides are on weekends from 12-4PM. Each ride lasts about 25 minutes and costs $4.35 per person. Babies in arms are free. (All rides are dependent on the weather–we can’t run in the rain.)

We also have an apple orchard and offer pick-your-own apples. On weekends you can hitch a ride (for free) to the orchard from 10-4 on the hayride. U-pick bags must be pre-purchased from a register; you may not bring your own containers for picking or reuse bags from a previous visit.

Concessions are available on weekends from local community groups. A different group will come in each weekend and grill up some food at our Brat Fry. The money they earn will go towards their groups to help out the community. Cash only.
