This maze is lovingly planted and tended by a wonderful crew of locals - and we appreciate their hard work!
A bakery and a corn maze? Count us in! Bergey's Breadbasket is a bakery, deli, and creamery (yum!) run by the Bergey family. The business has a long history within the Tidewater area, and has been operating since 1910. In addition to freshly-baked treats, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, and more, visitors can enjoy touring the farm and its many photo opportunities. Fall visitors will also find multiple corn mazes to suit a variety of age groups. The maze typically opens for group reservations in mid-August, but will be open to the public mid-September through the end of October.
This family-friendly spot in Harrisonburg has miles of mazes and bridges for an interactive corn maze experience. Back Home on the Farm also keeps its corn maze design a secret until opening day (although you can get a sneak peek on their website!) The maze welcomes visitors from all ages, and there are even "Corn Cops" on site to ensure that no one gets lost! Add on the carousel, pumpkin patch, slides, and many fall activities and this is a Virginia day trip worth adding to your fall lineup.
Lloyd Family Farms in Rockville is your one-stop-shop for all things fall. In addition to an impressive corn maze, this spot offers a pumpkin patch, pony rides, multiple corn pits, and a chance to interact with the cutest farm animals.
