Fort Vannoy Farms Harvest Festival
Dates Open: October 1st- November 1st
Fort Vannoy Farms Fall Festival is a family tradition. The Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch offers fun activities for the whole family. Come on out to the farm and remember the simpler times with your family. There is a spectacular new 8-acre corn maze design every year. Planting field corn stalks that grow as tall as 12 to 14 feet in height, the maze is sculpted before it even reaches six inches tall.
Pumpkin Patch
Visitors to the Fall Festival enjoy the beautiful 8-acre Pumpkin Patch and can choose to pick the perfect pumpkin for carving or for decorating or for making delicious pie. There are a variety of shapes and sizes, and even a variety of colors to suit every pumpkin personality!
Corn Maze Activities
Other events and activities at the Fall Festival include a Cow Train Ride, The Pumpkin Chunker, Apple Cannon, Pumpkin Painting, Petting Zoo, Hayrides, and more. The Corn Maze along with our 23-acre Pumpkin Patch is the place to be in Southern Oregon every day in October. Remember, as the crisp autumn air begins to cool the Rogue Valley down, the Maze Craze begins, and the Pumpkins are ripe for picking! Come visit Oregon’s Best Corn Maze!
Prices For the Activities
8 Acre Corn Maze $8/pp
Pumpkins are $0.50/lb
Cow Train is $8 per ride
