What to Expect at the Farm

At Taves Farm in autumn you can expect to see a corn maze, wonderful play areas for children, and lots of apples in rows and rows of trees. There are hay rides, farm animals to look at, children’s play structures to have fun on, and produce for sale in a small village-like area. New for 2026, there’s also a 150-foot Mystical Slide attraction.

Every operating day of the week, but especially on sunny weekends, expect to see lots of young families pushing wheelbarrows as they head to the orchard and pumpkin field to pick farm-fresh produce.

The farm is a fun place to be in autumn, and it can get busy.

About the Pumpkin Patch

Visitors can typically choose to go out in the fields to find a pumpkin, or they can select a pre-picked one at the country store.

The main pumpkin fields can be found between rows of apple and pear trees. It is a little bit of a walk from the main area, so Taves Farms provides wheelbarrows to help people carry their treasures back from the fields. They also have hayrides out to the pumpkin patch.

Pumpkins range in size from small ones that you can hold in one hand up to huge ones weighing upwards of 50 pounds. The gourds also come in a variety of colours ranging from the standard orange to white or green or even pink.

Fun for kids and for people wanting to take selfies, there is usually a pumpkin carriage in the middle of the pumpkin patch.

TIP #2: The Pumpkin Patch usually opens towards the middle of September. If all you want to do is walk to the Pumpkin Patch and pick a pumpkin, that’s free to do every day up until September 25th. After that, it’s still free on regular weekdays but there’s a charge on weekends and holidays.
