1. Lincoln Hill Farms
This was Lincoln Hill Farms’ first ever Halloweenfest, and it did not disappoint! My boys loved the trail with pumpkins, the mechanical spider, and of course, the goats! This farm is special because it’s not just for kids- my husband and I were equally thrilled with our visit.

2. Stokoe Farms
We try to visit Stokoe Farms every fall, and it seems like there is always more to do. Jumping pillows, apple cannons, zip lines, a petting zoo, and more- Stokoe Farms truly offers a FULL day of fall family fun.

3. Powers Farm Market
My boys will never miss a chance to check out Powers Farm Market because they LOVE the spooky hayride. The tasty treats + cider available inside, huge tipi to walk through, and adorable animals to pet are also favorites for my kids.

4. Beak + Skiff Apple Orchards
This one is technically more a Syracuse-area farm, but I couldn’t leave it off the list. We go every year with my in-laws to pick apples, and truly love visiting Beak + Skiff. In addition to a beautiful orchard to pick apples in, the farm has slides and other kid attractions, delicious foods, and beverages for adults only!

5. Haunted Housel on CR 4
We checked this out for the first time this year, and my kiddos really liked it. This one is definitely a little scarier than the others, so if your kids are nervous, stick to daytime visits! My kids could not believe ALL the skeletons that were on display, and loved checking out all the mechanical figures as well.
6. Schutt’s Apple Mill
My family loves this little family run farm. We’ve done tours with scout groups and learned a ton. It’s always fun to bring my kids to peek through the windows of the room where the cider is made, and of course, the sweet goodies for sale are a MUST. We have not picked apples here (yet), but have berry picked in the past.

7. Bauman’s Farm Market
Our family has been coming to Bauman’s for years. The hay bale maze is a major high point for my kids, since it’s a little less overwhelming than a full-on corn maze. The little haunted house inside is also a family favorite. And of course, my kids have to check out the inside of the tipi before we pick out our pumpkins.
