The centerpiece of Liberty Ridge Farm is our Fall Festival. The Harvest Season kicks off on September 18th and runs through November 11th 2010. It includes the Capital Region's largest corn maze, Brad's Barnyard Adventure and lots of family fun on the farm. You can venture by day or night through the 12-acre labyrinth of 13 foot high cornstalks, try all the activities in Brad's Barnyard, feed the farm animals, take a scenic trolley ride along the banks of the Hoosic River, and pick pumpkins. Dine in the Quincy Room or out on the sprawling deck overlooking the farm. There's always fresh cider donuts from the farm kitchen.

What to do on your visit:

Activities

Corn Maze- First stop in at the new orientation barn, you will be introduced to the maze activities and rules. The Passport game and Corn Texting will help you navigate through the maze as well as provide information on a variety of topics for any age group. Play the Cornundrum game and enter to win a prize. Look for the Cornundrums signs in the maze and throughout the farm. They are silly farm pictures with a play on words.

Brad's Barnyard Adventure- 7 acres of fun!  80' Tunnel Slide, Giant Gerbil Wheels, Pedal Karts, Cow Train, Rabbit Town, more mazes and farm animals.  Check out our interactive map to see all the fun and educational activities!
