The farm visit.
Make a little more of the outing
Black Friday and each Saturday and Sunday bring free hayrides and s’mores. The hayride is wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly; this describes the ride, rather than every part of the farm. A lunch vendor visits on those same days.
Browse the gift shop for presents and homemade hot cocoa, apple cider or coffee. A fire and music add to the seasonal setting.
Christmas visits and photographs
Santa visits November 28. The farm also describes Mrs. Claus story time, the Grinch and a larger-than-life Elf on the Farm hunt. Check the farm’s event updates for individual appearances and photography arrangements.
