Fall at the Farm at Maan Farms

 

Maan Farms in the Fraser Valley

Located at 790 McKenzie Road, Maan Farms is a family-owned Fraser Valley farm. It’s a great place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and take children for some fun.

The place is usually open from early April until early November each year with produce for sale beginning in late May. Sometimes the farm is even open just before Christmas too.

As a play place, Maan Farms is really good. It has a country look and rustic style, typical of a farm. The petting zoo is a fair size and most of the play apparatus is hand-built by the owners. Young children love it! It’s a popular, self-contained place that’s ideal for holding birthday parties for kids.

In the spring the farm hosts an Easter Event and Mother’s Day activities. From mid-August until mid-September the Abbotsford Sunflower Festival takes place on the property.

Later in the fall there is a Pumpkin Patch and other family-friendly Halloween attractions (plus the very scary Haunted Corn Maze for adults). The farm also sells fruits, vegetables, wine and homemade food products on-site, and its Barnyard Adventureland play area is also open most of the year.

If you’re in the Abbotsford area and if you have young children and/or want good quality fresh produce, then this is a great place to visit. It’s a farm with old-fashioned fun activities, plus some little extras (like a cool giant jumping pillow).

 


For full details about the attraction, see the Maan Farms website.

Activities at Maan Farms

In addition to its country store where you can buy fresh produce and baked goods, Maan Farms offers numerous things to do for young children. Below is a list of the activities you’ll find.

Depending on what you do and how much fun you have, expect to enjoy the attractions for anywhere between 30 minutes and all afternoon.

 


The Country Market


 

Maan Farms has a nice little country market where seasonal produce is sold. The farm also sells baked goods, homemade jams and wines.

The place is especially famous for its berries in the summer and pumpkins in the fall. Maan Farms also offers a wide variety of other fruits and vegetables throughout the spring-to-fall seasons.

The majority of produce sold at the Country Market is from Maan Farms and most of the preserves and other prepared goods are made right on-site.

Strawberries are the first crop of the season and available starting in late May, followed by other berries in early summer. Produce like corn and pumpkins are ready by early autumn. You’ll find the fresh produce in the store. Alternatively, in some cases, you can save money, have fun and head out to the fields to pick your own!

Maan Farms Wine Tasting


 

In addition to things like homemade preserves, curries and fudge, Maan Farms also produces its own selection of award-winning grape and berry wines. Tastings are usually available daily from 11:00 am until 6:00 pm.

The wines are exceptional. The blackberry, raspberry, blueberry and strawberry dessert wines are all delicious, and the Maan Trois wine won gold at a New York competition in 2016. We’ve also tried both the non-dessert blackberry and blueberry wines and found them excellent.

For other wine-tasting opportunities in the area, see Lower Mainland Wineries.

Barnyard Adventureland Farm Animals & Play Structures


 

The adventure zone at Maan Farms is lots of fun, both for very little kids and slightly older children. It features a huge bouncy pillow that people can jump on (including most adults), as well as a playground zipline, pedal cart race track and large wooden play fort.

As a play structure, the play fort is a pretty good one, and the pedal bike race track can be fun – not as exciting or fast as a motorized go-kart track, but cheaper, safer and better exercise!

The zipline at Maan Farms is also a great one. It’s not too far off the ground, and it goes for a good long ways. It’s a simple, old-fashioned style, so a perfect fit for the farm! There is a platform you climb up. From there you grab onto the rope, hang on tight and then go zipping down! You then pull the rope back up for the next person.

Near the entrance to Barnyard Adventureland and the farm animals, there is also a play area with a “rustically unique” slide, a sand pit for young children, and small stationary tractors to play on. It’s all completely enclosed, so a great place for kids. It’s like playing in a giant sandbox!

An especially nice thing about the Barnyard Adventureland is that there are usually no time restrictions or limits on how many times you can do things. On busy days you might have to wait your turn in line, but if you want to go on the zipline or jumping pillow again and again all day, you can! And everything is included – you don’t have to pay extra or use tickets to go on things.

Maan Farms Animals


 

At Maan Farms there is a hobby farm area with a collection of animals including sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, peacocks and rabbits that children can see, and in some cases both touch and feed. (Note: Actual animals on-site may vary.) The barnyard is part of Barnyard Adventureland mentioned above and is included with the same admission price.

The animal area is a fair size. The farm animals are accustomed to people, and many of them come right up to the fence for you to greet (and accept food that can be purchased in the Country Market). Animals can walk along the ground close to people, but also climb up and along areas further back and even overhead. In some cases, animals like the chickens and rabbits will even roam around freely.

The animal area is a great place for young children and photo opportunities.

Seasonal Attractions at Maan Farms

Maan Farms offers a number of seasonal activities and special events throughout the year including at Easter, late summer and Halloween.

 


Easter at Maan Farms


 

Maan Farms’ Easter Event takes place over the Easter Weekend most years. Last year the farm hosted three different events for various ages. In 2025 there’s just one Easter event but it happens over multiple days.

The Baby Animal Easter Days event runs on April 12th, 13th, 18th, 19th and 20th. Activities include an egg hunt, photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny, a chance to play with baby farm animals, and access to the venue’s regular attractions. In years with good weather, up to 5,000 people typically attend over the course of the long weekend. It’s a popular event!

This year there’s also Spring at the Farm which runs from April 5th until sometime in May. There’s a new Tulip Forest to check out and dogs are allowed on select dates.

To learn more about the springtime events, click Maan Farms at Easter.

Halloween at Maan Farms


 

From September until the end of October, Maan Farms has a corn maze which can be fun. From late September until the end of October it also has a Pumpkin Patch where you can pick out your own Halloween pumpkin, and in October in recent years it has had both a Flashlight Corn Maze and Haunted Corn Maze.

The pumpkin patch and regular maze are great for young children. They aren’t scary. The Haunted Corn Maze, however, is for older people who want to get seriously freaked out! Maan Farms claims to have “the scariest corn maze in Canada,” so don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Last year there are also two other haunted attractions. The Way Down is where guests wore a hood and entered an underworld-themed area. Homestead was a full contact experience with an AirBnB theme.

The family-friendly corn maze and Pumpkin Patch ran from September 14th until November 3rd in 2024. The Haunted Corn Maze and other scary Halloween attractions ran from September 27th until November 3rd last year. 2025 dates should be similar.

Tips & Advice

Below are some tips and suggestions to help you make the most of your visit to Maan Farms.

TIP #1: The best times to visit Maan Farms are on sunny days between June and October when there is fresh produce for sale, the place is at its most beautiful, and the outdoor play structures are all (usually) nice and dry. Other best times include when there are special events (like at Easter, Halloween and other special occasions).

TIP #2: Unless it’s just the Country Market and its produce that you’re going for, go on a dry day if you can. If it’s raining the ground can get muddy in parts and the jumping pillow in the Barnyard Adventureland can’t be used if it’s wet, which can be disappointing. If you’re going in the corn maze or pumpkin patch if it has rained in the previous number of days, be sure to wear boots.

TIP #3: The wines in the Country Market are really good, as are the jams, pies and other homemade food items.

TIP #4: Look out for Maan Farms at Lower Mainland Farmers Markets on weekends. The farm participates at several of them. We’ve seen Maan Farms with its berries at the markets in Fort Langley and Trout Lake, among others places.
