Frequently Asked Questions
Can we bring our pets to the orchard?
Trained service dogs are permitted. During the last weekend in October (Howl-O-Ween Weekend), well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome in the orchard and daytime corn maze, but not inside buildings or near farm animals.
What apples are best for pies?
Any apple variety marked for 'baking' is suitable. Blending sweet and tart apples, such as Jonamac or Jonathan, can create a more complex flavor profile for pies.
How long does it take to go through the corn maze?
The daytime corn maze, with its 3 miles of pathways, typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete. The Haunted Corn Maze is estimated at 30-45 minutes.
Is the Haunted Corn Maze very scary?
The Haunt is designed for a thrilling experience with scares, but not to be overly frightening. It's recommended for ages 13+, and those under 16 require a chaperone.
What payment methods are accepted?
Jonamac Orchard accepts both cash and credit cards at all locations.
