What better way to take in the sights and sounds of the farm than aboard a classic hayride? Climb aboard our cheerfully decorated wagon and let the gentle clip-clop of hooves guide you through our picturesque pumpkin fields and lush orchards. As you soak up the pastoral scenery, keep an eye out for friendly farm animals and vibrant fall foliage. Our hayrides run throughout the day, so you can enjoy this timeless tradition at your leisure.
