💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →**Bring plenty of cash** for food, activities, and drinks (e.g., $8 beers/wines/ciders) to avoid the $3.50 ATM fee, as many items are cash-only.
- →**Be prepared for a pay-per-activity model**; budget accordingly as costs can add up per child for attractions like the corn maze, haunted maze, face painting, and hay rides.
- →Upon arrival, **ask staff directly for directions** to activities and ticket booths if signage is unclear.
- →**Manage expectations for the haunted corn maze**; it may be a short (15 mins), crowded, and lower-value experience for its high price ($150 for a family).
- →Consider visiting for **U-pick berries or pumpkins** as these offer good value and a delightful experience.
Things to Consider
- ⚠Unclear signage for directions and where to purchase tickets for activities upon arrival.
- ⚠Staff disposition was reported as less than friendly, with a lack of small talk or smiles.
- ⚠The pay-per-activity model can be inconvenient and hard to budget for families with unpredictable children.
- ⚠Haunted corn maze was perceived as very poor value: $150 for a family, lasting only 15 minutes (vs. advertised 30 minutes), with minimal execution (mostly smoke, few decorations).
- ⚠The haunted corn maze can be very crowded, diminishing the scare experience as visitors miss opportunities due to people ahead.
- ⚠Many transactions (food, corn maze, drinks like beer/wine/cider) are CASH ONLY, requiring visitors to pay a $3.50 ATM fee if they don't bring cash.
- ⚠Despite festive decorations, some visitors felt the overall atmosphere was not festive.
Price & Value
Entry to the general farm area is free. Activities like corn mazes, haunted corn maze, face painting, and hay rides are paid per activity. The haunted corn maze is considered very poor value at $150 for a family, lasting only 15 minutes instead of the advertised 30. Beers/wines/ciders are $8 each (cash only). U-pick berries and pumpkins are described as 'very reasonable' in price. An ATM is available, but charges a $3.50 fee.
♿Accessibility & Special Needs
- •No specific accessibility accommodations were mentioned in the reviews. Expect farm conditions which may include uneven ground and mud, especially after rain, as visitors reported being 'drenched and muddy' in the haunted maze.
🍎Food & Drink Policy
- •On-site food options available, including burgers, kettle corn, and caramel apples.
- •Beer and wine garden available.
- •All food and drink purchases, including alcohol, require CASH ONLY payment.
🚗Parking Info

👥Crowd Levels
- •The haunted corn maze specifically was described as 'very crowded', making it difficult to fully experience the scares. No specific crowd levels mentioned for other general farm activities.
🛡️Safety Features
- •No explicit safety features were mentioned in the reviews. Reports of 'drenched and muddy' conditions in the haunted maze suggest potential slip and fall hazards during inclement weather, and a stated reimbursement policy for weather conditions was not honored in one case.
⏰When to Avoid
- • If you prefer an all-inclusive entry fee rather than paying for each individual activity.
- • If your primary interest is a high-quality, long, or highly immersive haunted corn maze experience, particularly given the high cost.
- • If you predominantly use card payments and wish to avoid ATM fees.
- • If you expect highly enthusiastic, engaging, and overtly friendly staff interactions.
- • If the weather is poor and you're planning on the haunted maze, as visitors reported being 'drenched and muddy' with no clear reimbursement despite policies being mentioned.

6 months agoVisiting Bella Organics Farm was a fun experience! The entry to the farm area is free, and you can walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. However, there are plenty of fun activities you can pay for, like the corn maze or haunted corn maze, face painting, hay rides, and more. There’s also a beer and wine garden if you want to relax and enjoy a drink. The food options were great — I had a burger, and there’s plenty more to choose from, like kettle corn, caramel apples, and other treats. The farm has such a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a fall day trip with family, kiddos, or friends. Highly recommend! 🎃✨

7 months agoLovely time picking berries. Very reasonable U-pick prices. The berries we picked were extremely delicious. We are excited to come back for the pumpkin patch later on in the season. This was our first berry picking experience and we had an overly delightful time. No complaints! Slay mama, you did that!

6 months agoHad high hopes and planned our week around visiting this patch. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was very unclear where to go, where to purchase tickets for the activities, and the staff's general disposition was less than friendly (no asking how our day was, no small talk, no smiles). We also weren't excited about paying per activity - kids aren't always predictable and sometimes you don't know how much you will be able to do. It's hard enough to coordinate a trip with kids to the patch, let alone decide on each individual activity. Good: We enjoyed the ride out to the pumpkin field and there were nice views. Also the pumpkin prices seemed very reasonable. Verdict: Unlikely to return or recommend! Expensive activities and not a festive atmosphere (despite the festive decorations).

7 months agoCASH ONLY! (Food, Corn Maze, etc) There is an ATM but you will pay a $3.50 fee. The corn maze was well built and they offer some games that you can play (clue type games). Beers/wines/ciders are $8, again cash only. Plenty of parking spaces. Overall, it was a decent place to visit.

6 months agoi’m not one to make negative reviews at all, i really try to give people understanding but this time i just simply can’t. my mother in law spent $150 to take our family to the haunted corn maze. not only were we done in 15 minutes when we were told it would take 30, the execution was awful for the price. there were about 5 tents where there were a bit of decorations, mostly just walking through smoke from smoke machines. other than that you walk through a very crowded maze where everyone ahead of you is being scared so you miss the opportunity to be, and there’s way too many people behind you to stop and be the leader. it said there would be reimbursement if weather conditions called for it, we were absolutely drenched by the time we were done and our shoes were full of mud. a few of the scare actors were phenomenal, but i wouldn’t say it makes the experience worth it for the price. i was beyond excited with how many good things i heard, i truly just don’t want others to share that same disappointment.
