It’s officially fall and Weber’s Farm in Parkville, MD has everything you could possibly ask of the season. From a pumpkin selection, to hayrides, to corn mazes, you can’t go wrong with a visit.

My first stop was the gift shop and bakery. Among my favorite options were fudge, ice cream, homemade pastries of all sorts, and fresh pressed apple cider. Weber’s grows its own pumpkins and apples, so picking up a pumpkin pie or an apple cider doughnut is a must.

The gift shop is home to cute novelties like pillows and ornaments, making it the perfect spot for holiday shopping. I was able to pick out some fun Christmas statues and ornaments for my family.

Then, I made my way over to the pumpkin section of the farm. Though you do not have the ability to pick your own pumpkins straight from the patch, the selection of pumpkins is vast. I would suggest this option of pumpkin picking for convenience, and especially for families whose children want to pick out their own pumpkins, but couldn’t necessarily carry them through a field.

I visited during a “Fall Family Fun” day, so for six dollars for an adult and seven for children, I was able to visit the “Boo Barn,” a haunted house for kids, take a hayride, go down a hill slide, and play in the corn maze. Other activities include an animal farm, gem mining, pedal tractors, and rubber duck races.

Many of the activities were geared towards children, making it the perfect family outing for families with small children, not to mention a great stop for pumpkins and fresh food for all ages.
