The OUTTA THIS WORLD Corn Maze is a fantastic activity for all ages & types of groups. From pre-schoolers to adults, it is a terrific opportunity to stress team building & work on physical fitness. It is both a workout for the mind as well as the body. Many of the Vermont Standards skills may be addressed with this type of adventure.

In addition to the big OUTTA THIS WORLD maze, we also have a Mini-Maze which is a much shorter journey for toddlers & younger folks. The Cow Jumped Over the Moon is the idea for this year. Click to learn more…

Our Livestock Barn is a great place to introduce children of all ages to farm animals & teach them a little about each breed & farming in general. For school groups, if you’d like an actual presentation on farm animals or the type of farming practices we use here to correlate with what you might be studying in school, just let us know. We can usually accommodate whatever topic & age group you have. We particularly like to stress the significance of heritage breeds for today’s agriculture as well as the importance of locally grown foods. Depending on the ages of your group members, we can give a Farm Tour & talk a little about the history of our Farm, what we are doing now & what we are looking at accomplishing going forward while touching on today’s farming trends.

Beginning about mid-September, the Pumpkin Patch should be ready for Pick-Your-Own pumpkins. You can have a hayride to & from the Patch & pick any great pumpkin of your choice! Pumpkin Rule:  Everyone must carry their own pumpkins. A fun activity is to have a pumpkin decorating contest by drawing on them with markers & then having the class vote on some different category winners.

Over the past several years we have had well over 50 different groups per year visit our Farm & Corn Maze. These groups include schools (pre-schools through colleges), scouts, camps, church groups, 4-H clubs, boys & girls clubs, birthday parties & more. We are an ideal setting for adventurous explorers of all ages!

This is a working Vermont farm where we raise beef cattle, heritage pigs & sheep (well dabble at that anyway!) grow the feeds for all our animals & produce maple syrup. We have always been engaged in agritourism (before it ever had that label) way back when we were a dairy farm, to help teach both children & adults about farming & the importance of knowing where your food comes from. We feel it’s important for people to have that connection.

Helpful Tips

A few things to keep in mind in preparing for your trip to the Farm:

1. Weather: Our Farm is open rain or shine with the Livestock Barn, but the Mazes are open weather permitting. Muddy, slippery ground conditions after rainstorms may force us to stay closed even after the rain has stopped. Please call ahead if you have any questions about the weather in our area. If we need to close the mazes due to weather on your scheduled day, reschedule your group or you can come just for the Livestock Barn, whichever you prefer.
2. Attire: Dress in layers for changing weather conditions. It may be hot or windy. We strongly advise good sturdy footwear like sneakers or other closed toe shoes.
3. Don’t forget sunscreen & cameras.
4. We sell drinks & snacks & you are welcome to bring your own lunches too. There is a picnic area available within the maze.
5. Our policy with schools is that if there are children who do not follow the rules anywhere on the Farm, they will need to spend their time here on the bus with a chaperone. This is non-negotiable.
6. You must have one assigned chaperone per 5 children.
7. For everyone’s safety & enjoyment at the farm, please be sure to review the Do’s and Don’ts with your group before your arrival.
