At Cotton Hills Farm, we offer tours Monday through
Friday through October and into November for schools. These trips
differ from our public farm tours and for more information about
our school trips, please click here.
Each Saturday in October, we offer tours of our
farm to the general public. These tours generally last about an
hour and half to two hours and include activities such as the
opportunity to find your way through our corn maze, visit our
barnyard animals and see our turn-of-the-century barns, and take
a full tour of the farm on a 40 minute wagonride. These tours
are great fun for families as well as groups of all sizes.
Important! Tours will depart The Market
promptly at 10:30AM, 1:30PM, and 3:30PM.
Our prices this year are as following:
Adults -- $8.00
Children (ages 2 to 12) --$6.00
Infants (1 and under) -- Free!
We do offer group discounts! There is a minimum
of 10 and reservations are required a minimum of 3 days
in advance. We do ask for a $25 deposit that is refundable
if there is bad weather on the day you have reserved. Please
click here for more information about our group discounts and
to print a reservation form.
Farm Fair
will be held on Saturday, October
8th!
The admission charge is the same as other Saturdays
but there is no doubt that there is more to see and do on October
8th. Advance group discounts work the same on this day as all
other Saturdays in October.
Wagons will depart continuously from The
Market beginning at 10 AM. Arrive by 3:00 PM to enjoy all activities.
Farm Fair concludes at 4:30 PM.
