We have various types of terrain at the farm. The parking lot is a mixture of grass and rocky gravel. The harvest market is set on concrete. The animal barn, party rooms, gift shop, espresso, and mini golf are all on concrete. The picnic area and play area, rubber duck race, kettle corn booth, and funnel cake tent have woodchips that you will be walking over. The corn maze is well packed down dirt but can get muddy and slick if it has been raining. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes when visiting the farm and bring your boots if it has been raining as it can get muddy on the farm!
Craven Farm is open 7 days a week. Weekdays are a wonderful time to visit the farm. Not all activities are open on weekdays, which means no crowds and no lines.

None of the animals live on the farm year-round, with the exception of our pet rooster. We have a dear friend who loans us the animals from her family farm. All of the animals that are loaned are pets and well loved.

We keep all lost and found items until 5 days after we close activities for the season (October 31st) and then we donate any items we can to a local charity organization.
Here at Craven Farm we use a process called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to determine when pesticides are used. The goal of this process is to apply pesticides as few times as possible while still protecting the crop. One of the major components of this technique is to monitor the fields on a daily basis. This allows us to be more environmentally friendly as opposed to just applying on a schedule. We aim to be as responsible as possible and our guest’s safety is something we take very seriously.
