Big Springs Farm opened up their Fall festval last weekend on the 14th of September.  They will remain open on weekends until October 27th.  They will also be open for MEA weekend which is October 17th and 18th.

Every one of their activities are included in the price of admission, which is nice. They also offer a flashlight maze experience.  That might add an element of surprise... although you could get lost.  That is probably the point.

Walk through 10 foot fall corn on your way through the 11 acres of maze with 5 miles of trails! You can choose a 10 minute, 30 minute or do the full 1+ hour maze!

If you want to pick out pumpkins for this season's decor, they have a giant pumpkin patch too.

Search through the 1.5 acre pumpkin patch with 100 different varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds to find the perfect ones for decorating, carving or even eating. Come visit us in September for the best selection!

They also recommend that you stay and experience sunset in the sunflowers.

There is also activites for the family to enjoy including some concessions, an open slide, a zipline, hayrides, playground, photo ops and so much more!  Visit them either on their socials, or on their website.
