Milky Way Farm

 Weekend: Our annual pumpkin harvest season at Milky Way Farm runs Sept 26-Oct 31, 2020. For Saturdays and Sundays, individual tickets must be purchased in advance to limit capacity in response to COVID19 regulations. Stroll to the pumpkin patch, wander through the corn maze, take family photos, and visit the farm animals as part of your 2-hour $5 admission ticket. Bring your own wagon to carry pumpkins, fall harvest items, vegetables, and honey products which may be purchased during your visit. There will not be free hayrides however we are offering private hayride wagon trips to the patch for $75 (wagon can fit 20 family and friends) using other event link. Tip: Purchase private hayride for family or group prior to farm admission tickets as you must arrive at the farm at least 30 minutes before your confirmed private hayride time. Visitors are expected to wear face masks and practice social distancing. Chester Springs Creamery will be open for ice cream from 10:30 am-8 pm. No restrooms are available onsite. We are open rain or shine. 

A gentle reminder that only service dogs are allowed on the property.

Weekday: During pumpkin harvest season, visitors may come weekdays from 3-5pm to purchase pumpkins and visit farm animals. Tickets to our family-friendly corn maze are available for $3.00/ticket. Private hayrides for $75 can also be pre-arranged on weekdays with a few days advance notice. 

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to the farm.
