Applebarn at Taves Family Farms

Details

Taves Family Farms Applebarn returns for its 34th season, opening on August 29th. Every fall, local communities visit the farm for a taste of the country to explore over 30 acres of picturesque moments with corn mazes, apple orchards and pumpkin fields.

With varying tree heights, children and adults are invited to pick a variety of apples, including their signature crop, the Jonagold apple. Orchard-to-bottle fresh apple cider is made on site and is sold in the Country Store, which is also filled with seasonal treats, such as bagged apples, apple pies and pumpkin butter.

The main highlights are the Pumpkin Patch with Princess Carriage, which holds 13 acres of smaller sugar pumpkins to classic jack-o-lantern pumpkins, and the Magical Fall Pumpkin Garden — a pathway of hundreds of heirloom pastel-coloured pumpkins adorned with a walking bridge, pumpkin hut and mystical gnomes. Other attractions include the Magical Sunflower Garden, five acres of three corn quest mazes, hayrides, jumping pillows, farm animals to see and pet, a goat bridge where guests can watch the goats wander from one side of the farm to the other, and pedal karts.

The season begins with the Magical Sunflower Garden stealing the show but on September 27th, it transforms into the Magical Pumpkin Garden. The Pumpkin Patch comes next with its life-sized princess carriage, a photo op that will have visitors embracing their inner child. While the concessions carry everything from freshly-roasted corn to pumpkin-spiced lattés, food trucks will be available on select dates.
