North Run Farm is a wonderful experience
Spend a pleasant fall day in Stevenson, MD at North Run Farm. Through out the month of October, North Run will offer visitors an awarding, educational and crisp wholesome autumn experience.
North Run Farm has an objective to “provide an educational farm experience that focuses on the products of a small local farm.” Tours are conducted in hopes of informing visitors on agriculture and the hard work that goes into running a farm.
Age appropriate, hands-on activities are provided for children. Programs at the farm incorporate teaching lessons on a pumpkin’s lifecycle, products made from corn and also include exciting diversions. While you’re there, pick up some fresh, local produce and taste a bit of cider and other refreshments. This year, refreshments will be provided by Beefshakes and will include an assortment of: burgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage, french fries, popcorn, hot and cold beverages and various homemade sweet treats.
Children will love the Pick-Your-Own-Pumpkin Patch this year along with many other fun things to explore. Hay play areas, a corn sandbox, corn mazes, an authentic tee-pay and hayrides are only a few of the delights your young ones will encounter. Children will also love seeing the Farm Animal Zoo which includes: sheep, cows, ducks, pigs, turkeys, chickens, a calf and more.
Between Oct. 2 and 30, every Friday night is Flashlight Maze Night. On these nights, the farm is open until 10 p.m. Guests bring their own flashlights for Friday festivities in the dark maze.
