2020 RENTAL PROGRAM
As you know, fall is our peak season. It’s that beautiful time of the year where families from all over gather to enjoy cider & donuts, pick a pumpkin and walk through our corn maze. During this season, table space becomes a premium, and we are unable to take reservations for general seating. To comply with COVID-19 restrictions, we have modified our program for the 2020 season. PHOTOS COMING UPON COMPLETION OF THE SPACE
SATURDAY & SUNDAYS:
This space is available for groups of up to 40 people.
Available in two time slots: 11-2 and 3-6
Your group can reserve a corral, which is an uncovered, open air 40’ x 40’ fenced in (split rail fence) area. We furnish four (4) 8″ picnic tables, two four top patio tables and one large center table to use as a service area for your group. If you need additional seating, you are welcome to bring tables and chairs. We have found over the years that most people are “on the go” so extensive seating is not important. This area is located adjacent to our “cider yard” which is a NEW outdoor seating area that has its own cider bar, yard games, food and music. This area is located at the south east end of our farm, which is walking distance to our pumpkin patch, corn maze and 5K trail. There is plenty of parking close by.
