To kick off Fall this year, Ramseyer Farm will have their fifth annual Sunflower Days. The festival started last week and will continue through this upcoming weekend.

Tickets are date-specific with limited capacity, so be sure to purchase tickets for the correct date in advance to guarantee admission. Children ages two and under are free, and season passes are valid for Sunflower Days for all dates. 

The event includes 50+ farm activities, access to the sunflower field, and one free flower. You can also purchase a mason jar ($13) or a large galvanized vase ($25) to fill with as many flowers as you want. 

The sunflower field is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.everyday. 

On the weekends, there are local craft vendors, live music in the afternoon, and additional food options including french fries, roasted sweet corn, kettle corn, hot pretzels, cider slushies, and strawberry lemonade. Varying food trucks are also present. 

At the end of October is the Not-so-Spooky Halloween party. The event will include a costume contest, trick or treating, and pictures with a giant pumpkin. 

Trick or treating is for those 13 years of age and under from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Saturday, October 29) and from 1:00-3:00 (Sunday, October 30). 

The costume contest is both days previously-noted from 2:00-3:00. Winners will be announced at 3:30.

Additionally, Ramseyer Farms has a fantastic selection of corn mazes. The three mazes this year are the Ohio maze, the mystery maze, and the mini maze. 

The Ohio maze is shaped like the state of Ohio with two miles of trails and eight acres of corn. It is difficult to get lost due to every road being labeled; therefore, no need to panic. 

The mystery maze is a randomly-shaped maze that changes every year; it also has two miles worth of trails. However, this one is not as easy due to no road labels, and it is not recommended for younger children.

The mini maze is highly recommended for younger children as it takes roughly 10-15 minutes to complete. 

These mazes will be up all season.

Last week, our very own Mrs. Clancy and her son Masen enjoyed the Ramseyer festivities. Here are some of their pictures. 

Make sure to purchase your tickets online, not only to ensure your spot but to also save money on tickets.
