Corn Maze ~ hibernating of for the winter

It is the time of year we slow things down in the Agritourism aspect of our farm. Our Historic Walking Trail is open year round for your enjoyment.

Our farm market remains open all year and can be found in the apple barn right beside the summer market. We have a wide selection of apples and veggies all winter long.

The Agritourism and Corn Maze will open again in the summer. But don't forget to keep checking back for the eagle cam this spring.
