Enjoy a u-pick patch with 30 acres of pumpkins, gourds and squash. For those who like to get lost, there is a 10 acre corn maze and a 1 acre kid’s maze. Train rides (weekends) and a large variety of fall farm fun available for kids of all ages.

The variety of activities available at Rader Family Farms continues to be part of what keeps families coming back out year after year. It's been exciting work and we hope farm visitors will enjoy the enhancements we've added again this year. Your paid admission grants you access to all of our activities with the exception of the big corn maze & face painting.
