With a Group at Maize Quest and Maple Lawn Farms
We host thousands of school-age youth each year during our summer and
fall harvest seasons. Watch the video below for more information!
During the summer months, we specialize in tours and fun excursions for YMCA & YWCA camps, sports camps, day camps, scout groups, mom's groups, and more. Over 20 attractions are open for
our guests including our snack bar and picnic pavilion. Then cool down in the Mist Maze!
Part of our mission at Maple Lawn Farms is to get young kids in touch with their food. Farm tours to our blueberry patch and peach orchards headline summer time education for elementary-age groups. Apple and
pumpkin-picking tours take kids on a fall harvest season adventure.
