What Can Visitors Do at Maple Lawn Farms Besides Fruit Picking?

Updated

Maple Lawn Farms, between York, PA and Baltimore, offers three main non-picking experiences: the Farm Market & Bakery (known for apple cider donuts and baked goods), the Winery (wine and cider tastings), and the Maize Quest Fun Park (a maze and attraction park with seasonal festivals). Availability varies by season, so check the site before you go.

Farm Market & Bakery

The market is the simplest stop and doesn't require planning around a season. The bakery's signature item is apple cider donuts; the site also lists pies, apple dumplings, turnovers, cookies, and whoopie pies. This is a good option if you want a short visit, a snack, or baked goods to take home rather than a full day out.

Winery

The winery covers wine and cider, with wine tastings listed as a separate activity. The farm also runs "Wine Your Way Out," an adults-only after-hours event in the corn maze (the site lists Sept 18–19). If you're planning around the winery, treat tastings and special events as separate things to confirm — event dates and ticket availability are posted on the site.

Maize Quest Fun Park and Festivals

The Fun Park is the largest non-picking draw. The site describes it as having over 30 attractions, and Fall Festival admission is sold online with a stated saving versus paying at the gate. Seasonal events listed on the site include:

Event What it is
Lavender Festival Festival tied to lavender season (site says "see you in June for lavender season 2026")
Sunflower Festival Seasonal festival
Fall Festival Fun Park admission with 30+ attractions
Chainsaws, Brats, & Brews Listed event (details on site)
Wine Your Way Out Adults-only after-hours corn maze event

How to Decide

  • Short visit or rainy day: Farm Market & Bakery — no tickets or season needed.
  • Adults looking for a relaxed stop: Winery tastings; check event dates if you want the after-hours maze.
  • Families or groups wanting a full day: Maize Quest Fun Park, and buy Fall Festival tickets online for the stated admission saving.
  • Seasonal trip: Time it to a festival — lavender (June), sunflower, or fall — and confirm dates and tickets on the site first.

Before You Go

Tickets for the Fun Park and festivals are sold through the website, and the site promotes a coupon signup ("Get 5 Coupons for your farm visit"). The site does not publish prices or hours in the material reviewed here, so confirm current admission, event dates, and opening times on maplelawnfarms.com before traveling.
