First time going! Wish we went sooner. The kids absolutely loved being inside the maze. The woman was super informative about the reason behind the maze and pretty sure we all learned something. The views from observation decks were spectacular for the fall season. We will absolutely be back next year to see the next design! Thank you for the experience and new family photo!
We had a fantastic time last night in the corn maze! Flashlight night is a great idea, and was lots of fun. The maze was really well designed and maintained, and was easy to walk through without fear of twisting an ankle or getting lost. We really enjoyed filling out the activity sheet as we walked through the maze. It took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to get through the maze, so you definitely get your moneys worth. We will be back next year. The owner was a fantastic hostess!!!
Corn maze is always fun. They take a lot of pride in the corn maze. There is always a great message.Great prices on pumpkins that you actually pick yourself in the field.
Went for the corn maze in 2021. The maze took about an hour and only used the map a couple times. They had a second easier maze available for smaller children. Bigger map was $15/person and the smaller was $10/person. BEWARE the ticketing system wants you to print the tickets and when I asked the lady running the place about it, she only wants them printed so she can count them easier. The tickets arent scanned or anything. I used my phone to show the tickets since I dont have a printer and the lady just counted how many tickets I had and that was it. Frustrating to go through a completely online experience and be given a QR code just to be given a message ON THE ORDER COMPLETION STEP that you need them PRINTED. So dumb.Anyways, parking is just a big field and if theres not already cars parked, well good luck, just park wherever I guess. Nothing is marked.The lady running the show appeared to be the only person there and she was managing checking people in and having a band show up and perform. I imagine it gets fairly hectic for her.Other than the maze, theres not much to see. The place that supposedly sells ice cream wasnt open. And it didnt look like you could get it by the scoop, only by the half gallon, which is disappointing. Theres weird lawn ornaments all over, most painted purple (almost certainly the ladys favorite color), but it was all overgrown and not well kept. It really gave the place a rundown feeling.Honestly I feel like $15/person is way too much for this experience. Maybe $5-10 would be better. Supposedly they offer a night time thing with flashlights. We might check that out.Also they have a big ole trebuchet for pumpkin throwing that I will definitely be looking into, supposedly October-November.
Came here for a night time hike, and had a lovely time. Definitely going to become a yearly adventure. Love the rock bench!
What a wonderful place to visit to be one with nature and beauty! It is so peaceful, and I was just awestruck with everything the second I got out of my car. We went at the end of October, but year round this place is a paradise! The corn maze is just incredible, and no ordinary maze. There are 2 bridges in the middle when you can walk up and take in breath taking views. The maze is so much fun too, you are provided with a booklet where there is Word Game and Picture Find. Your job is to find clues at hidden stations within the maze. Inside the maze is so tranquil. The day we were there it was windy, I had to stop several times just to listen to the sounds of the corn stalks blowing. I wish I could sleep in there!!After the maze, treat yourself to the most delicious ice cream and lavender galore. The smell alone put me into a heavenly state!Everyone there is just super friendly and you can tell that they put their heart and soul into everything. I can wait to go back to this little piece of heaven!
This was our second visit. Came for the pick your own pumpkins RIGHT OUT OF THE FIELD!! HUGE FIELD! Left with 6 big boys! So awesome! Had a great time and the owner, Kristin, was an absolute PEACH! Very friendly and bubbly. She was there alone it seemed, so hats off to her busting her buns between customers, back and forth from maze to creamery. Quite the lady! And of course it goes without saying the farm is just beautiful. We did the maze the 1st time we came- it is a different theme each year. Oh! and the strawberry ice cream is SO WORTH THE $$!! Rich creamy flavor, smooth texture..she milks the cows herself, makes ice cream! Not many people like her out there unfortunately..
Cornmaze was awesome!
Owner is really nice and helpful. Staff was very friendly! Maze was fun and pretty easy to follow. Great place for group activities, family fun, or something to do either during the day or evening. Also take a picture of the map just In case.
My husband and I stopped in several weeks ago after moving to a nearby neighborhood and it’s now become a weekly go-to for all our dairy must-haves! Kristen is a joy to visit with whenever we venture to Fort Hill! And saying that their ice cream is the best in the world is an under statement. On top of that, the shop is filled with all sorts of dried lavender decor that we’ve happily outfitted our home with.Fort Hill is truly an adventure worth having!
Great maze! Very easy to follow because there are taped sections. Also it was educational because there were facts about the butterflies, which was the theme of the maze, and you had to fill in a sheet to get out. Very well done!
Awesome corn maze, friendly staff, & good ice cream-thanks for a great day! Definitely coming back next year
How amazing was this place! Not only awesome scenery but an objective and a game inside the maze itself . Totally worth the drive!
Fun with the family
Went to the mini corn maze had tons of fun. it was a blast! it took a little longer than I thought but Ive never done a corn maze before and they made it fun so we had to find some little tractors on the maze, six of them and then you even get something to eat at the end, a small piece of Cabot cheese. Definitely a family fun day and yes I would be so happy to go back next year.
Amazing place! Lots of variety and the owner is super friendly and nice!
Owner is extremely rude, dont bother buying icecream here it was 8 dollars for a half scoop of icecream on a stale cone. The lemonade pops also 8 dollars. Overpriced. They dont take care of the place. Also when looking at the icecream menu the owner said chop chop make your decison not welcoming at all.
Great place for the family. Home made ice cream, Farmers Cow ice cream stand. Amazing Corn Maze adventure. Working farm. Went to a good outdoor music concert, nice venue. Also there is a lavender garden there. Definitely worth a visit!
Just driving past this farm makes me feel good. The ice cream is top notch, and the owner(s) care about sustainability and delivering a quality experience. I havent been to the corn maze yet, but they make a new pattern and lay it out with their tractors using GPS mapping every year, and I have no reason to believe that they do anything less than a stellar job.
We have returned here many times for their amazing homemade icecream, wonderful hospitality, and beautiful grounds. Yesterday we did the corn maze, and it was pretty incredible. I highly recommend visiting, and will be returning with my family.
Kristin is great, amazing fresh Ice cream, and great pumpkins to chose from, great for all ages.
Wasnt impressed with this place at all. When we first entered the farm, the owner came running over and said we came in the wrong entrance. How were we supposed to know? There werent any signs. We were going to do the maze but she said it was going to be $32!! She was going to charge for my 3 month old son who was sleeping in the stroller, just because it takes up room. We were the only ones there mind you. So we said never mind. Then we went down to the pumpkin patch and it was so run down and there were barely any pumpkins. The owner was not friendly either. We dont recommend this farm and wont be returning.
Very disappointing. Ice cream was very soft and owner wanted a fee for everything, including just to look at the gardens.
A beautiful place with a little bit of everything, pumpkins, corn maze, fresh eggs, ice cream and more! Plus, Kristin, the owner was a delight! We will definitely be back.
Had a blast picking blueberries with the family. Ice cream was delicious. Staff was delightful to be around.
Great homemade ice cream. Having a local farm produce their own ice cream is wonderful.
I loved the corn maize, the games with it and the land is gorgeous. Ginger lemonade popsicle made my day seriously
I mightve given this place more stars but all we could do was look at the cornfield on the day of our visit. The ice cream area was listed as open but no one was there. We visited on a weekend, middle of the day so it wasnt like it was an off day. A bit disappointing as I sooooo wanted to try the lavender ice cream. Maybe next summer?
Great little spot for ice cream. Awesome corn maze! Very friendly.
Great experiencie with the corn and great ginger lemonade popsicle to help with the heat of today
My family and I enjoyed our time there. The ice cream is very good, the staff went above and beyond.
Waste of time and money. Woman was rude and had issues with kids going through the maze. Total confusion about price. We were given 3 different prices.
Took the family and figured we would go throught he corn maze, pulled up and no one was around, we waited 20 min and then went over to the ice cream area, a women told us to meet her near the maze. She then told us that my 1 year old in a stroller could not go into the big maze. The price for for a family of 6 would be $64.00 - Adults $12.00 each and kids $10.00 each - She even was going to charge us for the 1 year old - We left!
This is by far the best corn maze I have been to. Not only was it long but it had education, word scramble, coloring and different trails.
Great corn maze.
Excellent ice cream. The owners are amazing. Definitely going back.
This place is deceivingly pretty, but be warned! The ice cream is overpriced, and the owner (a nasty woman that made several snide comments while serving me) tried to upcharge me for no reason without even telling me what she was doing. Also, she was openly rude and mean to the young man behind the counter with her, he couldnt have been more than 17 and she was so harsh it made me sick. I will not be returning.
A qualified 4 review.... Been there twice recently.1st visit was a hit. If I had a nit, the price of the ice cream is a bit high... not over the top, but enough to make you think about it. That said, it is a significant property to maintain there... and I chock this up to I am supporting keeping open spaces open and not full of 1/2 acre house lots : ) So.. sort of an ice cream and a small donation to support open spaces is how I reconcile it in my mind.2nd visit about 5 days later was quite diff. It was a busy day there, so I will cut them some slack. As some have written... the woman owner was more than a bit ornery by this time of the day... border line rude to both staff and customers (some other reviews have mentioned the same). Suggestion... when feeling that ornery, maybe take a mental break for 20 min... get a new face on : ) Also on this 2nd visit, the size of the ice cream (price already mentioned) was pathetic small. About 40% less than I got 5 days earlier. I will go back, but one more time with a serving of this size and I will not go back.Overall... very nice venue... great flavor selection... great quality of ice cream,. I would not recommend going there when they are busy.... If you get burnt on the portion size.. say something.. I will next time. It is feedback they should hear.
Great atmosphere! Great products!
Great place for the family, stellar ice cream!
Awesome creamy ice cream and fragrant blooming flowers and lavender!
A piece of heaven LOVE IT ALL
