General Questions
When does Harvestville Farm open each year?
Harvestville Farm is open each year from May through December. Spring/Summer Season runs from May – August / Fall Season runs September & October / Christmas Season runs Mid-November – a couple days prior to Christmas. Please note – the farm does close temporarily the first few weeks in November (November 1 – the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving) to transition for Christmas and reopens the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving each year for our Christmas season.
What is available throughout the summer besides home decor and gift items?
Harvestville Farm offers a wide variety of plants, annuals and patio pots throughout the summer along with fresh veggies and fruits from our garden and/or from other local producers. We also feature our Farm to Table Dinners, Zinnia Festival, Sunflower Festival and On Farm Events throughout each summer.
What age is Harvestville Farm appropriate for?
From 2 to 92! You can do any or all the activities that we have. You pick and choose what you want to do. One of the greatest things about the our farm is the fact that it offers something that everyone can enjoy. From babies, all the way up to grandmas and grandpas. Our goal is to make sure all of our guests leave with memories they will cherish!
Does it get muddy when it rains at the farm?
Keep in mind, Harvestville Farm is a real working farm. Some of our walking areas are mulched or graveled, but most of our surfaces (including the entire maze) are dirt, which gets muddy after it rains. The safety of our guests is always at the forefront when we have recently had rainy weather, but it is wise to come dressed accordingly if the weather has been wet.
Can I bring my pet to the farm?
Sorry, we do not allow pets on Harvestville Farm’s property, whether on a leash or in your arms. Exceptions will only be made for registered service animals. Additionally, there is no shade in the parking lot for your pets to stay in your vehicle.
Can I bring my own food?
Although we serve lunch from “The Pitchfork Cafe” (Tuesdays-Saturdays in the Summer and daily in the Fall), you may bring your own food onto our property. Picnic areas are available on a first come, first serve basis. Private bonfires may also be rented for $25.00. Absolutely NO ALCOHOL is permitted on Harvestville Farm property.
Are there restrooms and changing tables at the farm?
Harvestville Farm has permanent ADA accessible restrooms for women, men and families with each restroom having a changing table available to guests.
What should I bring with me when I visit the farm? What should I wear?
You should wear comfortable walking shoes and clothes you can move in. We recommend you bring sunscreen, water bottles (for the maze) and weather-appropriate clothing.
Can we leave the farm and come back in the same day?
You may leave and return to the farm as often as you like in the same operating day. You must retain your wristband for reentry. This includes going to your car for any reason.
