The Corn Maze & Fall Festival
2025 Corn Maze | The Corn Maze and Fall Festival will be open each Friday and Saturday 10am-6pm. Entry Fee of $13.50/person ages 3 and up includes access to everything on the Farm-Pumpkins are sold separately. Field Trips and Group events also offered! Read on to learn more about what all our Corn Maze has to offer and how it all came about!
History of the Corn Maze | After purchasing the farm in 2016, we quickly decided that it would be a great place to host a Corn Maze. Our first year we started out not knowing where this adventure would lead us with one 15 acre maze and a small pumpkin patch. There was a great outpouring of support from not only the local community, but farther out communities as well.
In 2018, we were able to add a second maze and a few more games/events around the farm. The 2019 season was exceptionally special because we were able to add even more! From a second pumpkin patch to more games and activities, plus our two mazes and sunflower fields that we already had, what more could we really ask for? But of course, we had one more thing up our sleeves!
We had local high school students compete to design the corn maze layout for the main field! This was great fun for all involved and it ended up giving us a notable maze for people to work through in the shape of North Carolina.
2020 and 2021 added more excitement as well with the additions of a jumping pillow, apple cannons, more to the petting zoo, and more! As the years go on, our hope is to keep adding to the maze while keeping the same “Down on the Farm” feel that we love! We don’t want to become just another commercial attraction. If the aforementioned activities sound like a good time for you and your family, make sure to plan a visit to the farm one Friday or Saturday this Fall and join us at the Maze!
Open select Fridays and Saturdays September - November
Pumpkin Patch & Sunflowers
Our vast Pumpkin Patches and Sunflower Fields are a huge part of our Fall Events! With over 8 acres of real u-pick pumpkin fields with all colors and multiple varieties you are sure to find the perfect pumpkin for carving or decorating! The Sunflowers are set to bloom from early September through frost giving you a larger time to pick some or get those great evening Fall sunflower pictures!
The Pumpkin Patches and Sunflower Fields are available with all Fall Festival Activities on the Farm and are priced on what is picked. Our tractor driven hayrides and horse drawn wagon rides are included with a combo ticket to the farm and will guide you around the farm and give the opportunity to peruse the pumpkin patches for that perfect pumpkin. Farm Staff will help you cut your treasure and haul it back up to the entrance for an easy, fun, real pumpkin patch experience!
With over 15 Sunflower patches to choose from at strategic locations around the farm and multiple varieties of flowers you are sure to find that perfect cut flower for your table display or that great shot to frame.
Wildflowers will pop across the landscape during the Fall Festival adding a splash of color to the green backdrop of the corn fields.
