Went here last week to do some fall activities with the fam - corn maze, hay ride, pumpkin picking, etc; they have it all! We had a great time! The hayride also included feeding the cows which my son loved. The corn maize was long! It took us about an hour to hit up all the stops- it was entertaining though. We also watched some people doing punkin chunkin which I've never seen before; pretty cool. Will definitely be coming back for their other activities.

We came here for their humongous corn maze, which did not disappoint! Lots of folks also come here for their pumpkins and hay rides. There are some food trucks available as well. Staff are fantastic at the farm. Their pumpkin field was small and there weren't very many left by the time we visited mid-October. However, the highlight is their corn maze - and we had a blast! Expect to spend about 35-45 minutes in the maze and if it recently rains wear boots.

Lots of corn!

This was a fun place to go with the kids for a fun corn maze (around $10/person, cash or check only) and pumpkin picking. The staff was very nice and it was a really pretty area.

Came here for a non scary Halloween excursion for my boyfriend's 8 year old twins' enjoyment. They were having some sort of charity event so there were lots of people and our admission included the corn maze,hayride, games, snacks, faice paintin and cowpetting hayride! Can't beat that! The cornmaze was the most confusing I have ever experienced. We (and many others we repeatedly passed) were LOST for at least an hour. My boyfriend and I ended up splitting up, each with a twin. My twin got us out within minutes...lol. He nded up havig to take the emergency exit once he found it. hahaha. The hayride had a cow petting stop and that was fantastic! They also had ponyrides.. well PONY ride.. which created a horribly long line so we had to pass. Anyway, great place for pumpkin picking, hayride, cornmaze combo. Very pleased!

Great farm! Unique pumpkins. Cows are taken care of as the pets they are should be. Very friendly staff.

What a beautiful autumn day to visit the pumpkin patch with family. There's always plenty of…read moreparking in the lot with a special closer by handicap section. It was my cousins first time here so we all went for the $8.50 each hayride, not included with the $13 each admission. We took a walk down the corn maze and took advantage of many photo ops. I like the store options better at Silverman's farm but still love and enjoy the products at Jones. I got my mother a bag of apples, my son a bottle of apple cider, and my daughter cranberry pumpkin cookies that she ended up sharing with us. They were fresh with a clean taste. I wish I would have took advantage of the coupon given to me and took the time to purchase some pumpkins before I left, but I rushed on to their nearby winery before hitting the road home.

I bought tickets for our party online and saved $3 a ticket vs. buying in person. The admission…read moreincluded the corn maze, various photo setups, a few farm animsls, a $5 back per ticket towards the purchase of pumpkins, or squash. We enjoyed doing the corn maze, walking the farm taking photos, and looking at various types of pumpkins. They had all shapes, colors, and sizes of pumpkins. You could also purchase bottles of their wine a stand onsite. They also had hayrides for an additional fee. There was ample parking with attendants. There were no bathrooms, just port o potties. They had such a nice setup that I feel they could've splurged on the trailer looking bathroom rentals vs. the construction site port o potties. A better bathroom would've been nice since this is a family-friendly place with lots of small children.

Yes, I've heard that apples are cheaper at Whole Foods, may I suggest Yelp to find a chain store…read moreof your choice? But if you want a scenic agricultural experience you may enjoy Beardsley. The $25 cash-only apple bag is small; I believe capacity was 17 apples. But unlike many orchards there's no admission fee. Beardsley is on the smaller side so they won't have a zillion varieties, but all the trees are small so you won't encounter that rake rental situation. This weekend there were abundant winesaps and jonahgolds, but for mutsus and macs you'll have to wait until 2027. I think the bag restrictions and less than desirable bathroom situation fueling negative reviews are common in the industry. The hot cider was delightfully tangy and I liked the cider donut. The long lines for these and for parkknf are also industry standards.

I visited Beardsley specifically to try their highly regarded Cider Donut, but I also bought cider…read moreand a couple of apples. As of the time I tried the donut, it was maybe the best Cider Donut I had ever tried. It was still warm. Golden brown. Delicate. It had a flavor I couldn't quite place. Vanilla maybe? It also had a cool chewy texture. I was a big fan. They obviously have a pick your own apple business, but I was in a hurry. They didn't have as many total apples in the market as some places, but they had some interesting apple choices. Including apples I've never heard of. The apple I tried so far was very good. The cider was freshly made. It was still a lighter color in the container. I understand it gets darker as it ages a bit. It was good. I prefer a slightly less sweet cider. But it had good apple flavor. 4.5 Stars
