About Fleitz Pumpkin Farm

In 1991. Paul Fleitz wanted to give pumpkin farming a try. That first year, the farm grew half an acre of pumpkins and sold them from their front yard. In 1993, Paul created a maze from a snow fence, tying a corn stalk on both sides of all the slats. This resulted in the first corn maze in the area, and it is possible that it started the corn maze mania!

In 1999, the tiny maze was expanded to cover over 6 acres of land, with two mazes, one of one acre and one of five acres. In 2000, the snack shop was opened.

There are also activities available for a small charge:

The snack shack offers tasty treats such as freshly made donuts, cider slush, and hot sandwiches.

Mainly visitors go to Fleitz Pumpkin Farm for the pumpkins! These pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes!

Other produce available at the farm includes dried gourds, giant squash, apples, apple cider, corn shocks, broom corn, and squirrel corn.

Fall is an amazing time of the year, and Fleitz Pumpkin Farm is a fantastic way to spend a day during this season. The farm has something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy activities like the straw bales tower, and chicken and goat feeding as well. There is also a crafts barn.

One-Acre Corn Maze

The one-acre corn maze is perfect for visitors who come to the farm and want to challenge themselves. As it is an acre (1/2 size of a soccer pitch), you cannot get too lost in this maze. This maze is perfect for the younger farm visitors. It takes around 12 minutes to complete this maze.

Five-Acre Corn Maze

The 5-acre maze is unique, with a 15-foot tower from the top of which visitors can see the entire maze from a ‘bird’s eye view’. There are also ten stops within the maze, and each stop gives visitors a fun fact about the farm.

There are maps available in the maze so that visitors do not get too lost! A great challenge for visitors is ticking off all 10 stops whilst inside the maze.

A gentle wander around the maze can take up to 30 minutes. If you are after the challenge of finding all 10 stops, then it can take over an hour.

Hayrides

A popular attraction at the farm is the Hayrides. This ride is incredibly relaxing. Visitors can observe the orchards, the cornfields, and the entire pumpkin patch.
