Groups and Field Trips

Kindergarteners relax after
lunch with a pumpkin story.

The Corn Maze is a fantastic activity for all kinds of groups! It is a terrific team-building activity & while being tons of fun for both kids & adults, it is also both mentally & physically challenging. This year’s Hollywood Maze is also handicap accessible, however keep in mind it is a cornfield & there are hills & possible rough conditions.

In addition to the big Hollywood Maze & the new Mini Maze, we do have a couple of “Condiment Adventures” which will “add flavor” to your visit! They are great things to do if some people in your group solve the maze or take an “early exit” & are waiting for the rest of the group to finish. Barnyard Boot Camp is a fun, farm activity that requires you to do some “farm chores” at different stations. It can be done individually or as relay teams where you time yourselves as a competition. The Go Hollywood Treasure Hunt is a bit longer activity where you will be sent off on a farm-style, movie themed, treasure hunt adventure. Part scavenger hunt, part treasure hunt…..ALL great fun! There is a small fee for each of these activities (see Hours/Rates) & we do offer a Combo Ticket which includes all 3.

Beginning about mid-September the Pumpkin Patch should be ready for Pick-Your-Own pumpkins & for $6 (or less with a Group Discount) you can have a hayride to & from the Patch & pick any great pumpkin of your choice! Pumpkin Rule: Everyone must be able to carry their own pumpkin to the wagon.

Last season we had over 50 different groups visit our Farm & Corn Maze including school groups, birthday parties, family reunions, wedding party groups, Scouts, church groups, 4-H & “couples night out” groups. We are an ideal setting for adventurous explorers of all ages!

A few things to keep in mind:

  1. Weather: Our farm is open weather permitting. Muddy, slippery ground conditions after rainstorms may force us to stay closed even after the rain has stopped. Please call ahead if you have any questions about the weather in our area. If we need to close due to weather on your scheduled day, we will either refund your deposit or reschedule your group, whichever you prefer.
  2. Attire: Dress in layers for changing weather conditions. It may be hot or windy. We strongly advise good sturdy footwear like sneakers or other closed toe shoes.
  3. Don't forget sunscreen & cameras.
  4. We sell drinks & snacks & you are welcome to bring your own lunches too. There is a picnic area available within the maze.
  5. For everyone's safety & enjoyment at the farm, please be sure to review the following Rules with your group before Arrival:

General Farm Rules

  • Smoking, pets & alcohol are ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED at all times everywhere on the farm.
  • Please read & follow all signage instructions located on the farm.
  • Please keep in mind this is home to our animals. We ask that you treat them with respect & never chase them, raise your voice or run in their barn.
  • Please treat all the people you meet on the farm, both other visitors & staff, with respect (& don't chase them either!).

Corn Maze Rules

  • Stay on the paths at all times. Do NOT cut through the corn! In keeping with Vermont tradition, "corn cutters" will be shot ... Survivors will be shot again! Seriously, stay on the paths or you will be asked to leave since the maze is a "living" puzzle & cannot be repaired during the season.
  • Please do not pick the corn or leaves - again, we cannot repair a living structure.
  • Keeping the children with you at all times will be sure to enhance the group adventure, & equally as important, you will be able to ensure they follow the rules & that they, as well as other visitors, will have a fun & safe experience.
