What Is Maple Lawn Farms?

Updated

Maple Lawn Farms is a farm market and pick-your-own orchard in York County, Pennsylvania, located between York and Baltimore. It combines seasonal fruit picking with a farm market and bakery, a winery, a corn maze fun park, and several festivals. It suits visitors looking for a single destination that covers produce, baked goods, wine, and family activities — especially during lavender season, apple season, and the fall festival period.

What You Can Do There

Pick-Your-Own Fruit

The farm runs u-pick seasons across the year. Based on the site's navigation, the picking calendar covers:

  • Apples
  • Blueberries
  • Cherries
  • Lavender
  • Nectarines
  • Peaches
  • Pumpkins
  • Sunflowers

Availability is seasonal and can sell out. The site notes that Honey Crisp, ZeStar, and Blondee apples from its own trees are available "until SOLD OUT," so check current picking conditions before making the trip.

Farm Market and Bakery

The market sells fresh-baked goods. The signature item is apple cider donuts; other bakery items include pies, apple dumplings, turnovers, cookies, and whoopie pies.

Winery

The on-site winery offers wines and ciders plus wine tastings. It also hosts an adults-only after-hours event, "Wine Your Way Out," held in the corn maze (the site lists Sept 18–19 for the upcoming edition).

Maize Quest Fun Park

The corn maze fun park has more than 30 attractions. Tickets are sold online, and the site states that buying online saves on admission compared with paying at the gate.

Festivals and Events

The events calendar includes:

Who It's For

  • Families: the fun park, maze, and fall festival give kids a full day of activity.
  • Fruit pickers: a broad u-pick calendar from spring lavender through fall pumpkins.
  • Food and drink visitors: bakery items, wine tastings, and cider.
  • Groups planning around events: festivals and the adults-only maze night are ticketed separately, so plan around the event calendar.

Practical Points Before You Go

  • Buy fun park tickets online. The site explicitly says online purchase saves on admission.
  • Check season timing. Lavender season 2026 starts in June; apple varieties are limited and sell out.
  • Expect separate ticketing for events. Festivals and Wine Your Way Out require their own tickets, and Lavender Festival tickets were not yet on sale at the time of the site content.
  • Location: the farm sits between York, PA and Baltimore, making it reachable from both areas.

The site also offers a coupon sign-up (five coupons for a farm visit) and a newsletter for event and picking updates — useful if you want to time a visit to a specific crop or festival.
