Illustration of a generic family scene (Sweet Halloween)

Sweet Halloween

Costumed children follow a winding trail through farm fields and orchards, collecting treats and non-food goodies from costumed staff at various stations. Families can enjoy a scenic tractor hayride through the orchards, participate in a guessing tent, and enter a group costume contest for prizes. The farm also hosts a makers market, live music, visiting farm animals, and seasonal cider treats.
