It’s decorative gourd season, y’all—pumpkin spice is wafting through the air, and pumpkins are dotted all over farm fields. Celebrate the autumn harvest by meandering through a corn maze, eating some seasonal treats, and admiring nature’s changing colors.

Bauman's Harvest FestivalAmong the various activities at Bauman's annual harvest festival, you can find your way through winding mazes, shoot some apples through a cannon and watch them explode, or slide down a giant hay pyramid. If enjoying apple season is your main objective, indulge in seasonal treats like Bauman's famous apple cider donuts and sample some fresh-pressed cider (weekends only). On October 6, the farm will have its annual giant pumpkin weigh-off, followed by a 1,000+ lb pumpkin drop from a crane into a pool of water.
