► Are we handicap accessible?
Yes! We are handicap accessible. Wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility devices can access much of the farm, including many of our paved walkways and main attractions.
Please keep in mind that this is a working farm with natural terrain, including grass, gravel, and uneven ground, so some areas may be more difficult to navigate than others depending on weather and ground conditions. We do not recommend taking wheelchairs or walkers through the corn maze, as the paths are natural dirt and can become uneven or muddy.
If you have any questions about accessibility or need assistance during your visit, please don’t hesitate to ask our staff—we’re happy to help however we can.
