Parties & Events
There's no party like a farm party!
We host many wonderful gatherings, from birthday parties, reunions, customer or co-worker appreciation events, and more! Our staff strives to make you feel welcome and help your event run as smoothly as possible. We offer flexible options, so that if you come on out to the farm, you can choose what works best for you. For school tour information, go here please.
*Regular pricing for food items, weekend attractions
(Cow/Barrel Train Rides, Corn Maze + Back 40) and
activities (apple u-pick, pumpkin picking, etc.) applies. We do not offer refunds due to weather.
**For group bonfires, these other activities are only available while we are open (prior to the after-hours bonfire, and not during the bonfire). We do not offer refunds due to weather.
Option 1: Informal Gatherings*
Come on out with your group with no reservations and enjoy the farm together. This is the DIY option—every member of your group chooses what attractions to take part in. We have outdoor picnic seating areas that, unless reserved by other groups, are available for any of our guests to use free of charge.
Option 2: Reserve Picnic Tables*
($25/table for 2 hours)
If you would like to guarantee that you will have a visible and convenient gathering place for your group, we offer picnic table rentals ($25/table for 2 hours). This option also includes access to our event coordinator who will help keep a running tab and make sure you have everything you need throughout your stay. The coordinator will also help you cash out after your rental is complete. If you would like to have
donuts and cider ready for your rental, we ask that you order these at least 24 hours ahead of time on our website, so that you can skip the line and be sure to have these fresh and ready for you!
Option 3: Barn Rental*
($200 for 2.5 hours)
One of our most popular options for gatherings, we set aside the upper level of our main market barn for your group’s use. The space is indoors and includes picnic tables, space for 125 people, and all the rustic farm charm you’d expect in a big old barn. This option also includes access to the event coordinator who will help you with everything you need to make sure your event goes smoothly. We also offer options to order donuts and cider in advance, and can coordinate with you if you wish to have your event catered with food from our N.O.B. Cafe.
Option 4: Group Bonfires**
(minimum $240 for up to 20 people + $12 w/o kit or $17 w/ kit per additional person)
Groups can schedule private bonfires Tuesday-Saturday evenings (6 p.m.-8 p.m.) in September and October. Bonfires are after market hours, so you get to enjoy the Corn Maze + Back 40 in a more private experience. You can either bring your own supplies, or we can provide them for you: Cost is $17/person with our bonfire kit, which includes s’mores and bottled water. ($12/person without kit. Minimum for Group Bonfire Rental is $240 (equivalent to 20 guests; additional guests are $12/$17 per person). We also offer options to order donuts and cider in advance and have it brought out to the Back 40 for you to enjoy during your bonfire time.
