Highlights
Outing Highlights
Round‑trip hayride through the fields
A scenic, round‑trip hayride ferries guests through the farm landscape to and from the pumpkin patch — the transport is the route to the patch and back as part of the packaged experience.
Pumpkin picking — choose the perfect patch find
Each ticket includes one pumpkin selected from the patch; note that the patch is accessible only by hayride, and very young children are treated differently under the farm's age rules.
Barnyard Petting Zoo admission included
Admission to the farm’s Barnyard Petting Zoo is part of the package, offering hands‑on time with friendly animals for visitors of all ages.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
You arrive at the hayride corral, check in, and board a hay wagon that moves at a deliberate, family‑paced rhythm across the fields. The wagon deposits you at the pumpkin patch for selecting your pumpkin; after that, you can visit the barnyard to meet and pet animals before returning on the hayride. The program is compact and designed for families looking for an afternoon of uncomplicated fall activities.

Details to review before reserving
Availability is shown on the farm calendar (hayrides operate weekdays and Saturdays; the farm is closed Sundays). Weekday hours include afternoon times with the last hayride at 4:30pm on certain days, and Saturdays run 9am–4pm. Special holiday dates may have extended availability.
Dress for the weather — hayrides run in light rain or overcast conditions unless the farm determines weather poses a danger. Bring anything you need during your allotted time; strollers must be parked at the corral and cannot be taken on the hayride.
Tickets are non‑refundable and non‑transferable; if Abma’s Farm cancels due to inclement weather as they define it, they will offer a reschedule or a refund in the form of store credit (minus processing fee). Early arrival procedures and a 30‑minute check‑in window apply to most timeslots.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What does my ticket include?
Each ticket includes a round‑trip hayride, one pumpkin, and admission to the Barnyard Petting Zoo.
Where and when do I check in?
Park and check in at the Hayride Corral at the farm address; look for a large orange hayride flag and obtain wristbands if you arrive early.
What if I arrive late?
You have a 30‑minute window from your ticket time to check in at the loading area; late arrivals are not guaranteed a hayride. The 4:30pm weekday timeslot departs promptly and the 30‑minute grace period does not apply.
Are pets allowed?
Pets are not permitted on the farm; ADA‑certified animals are welcome with some restrictions.
How much does admission cost and are there discounts for very young children?
Admission is $21 per person for everyone ages 2 and older; children under 24 months enjoy free entry but are considered lap sitters and do not receive a pumpkin.
What is the farm's inclement weather policy?
Abma’s Farm determines cancellations the morning of the event; light rain, mist, or overcast conditions do not automatically cancel hayrides. If the farm cancels due to dangerous weather, they will reschedule you or issue a refund as store credit minus processing fees.
