Fall Family Fun at Waldoch Farm and the Joyer Adventure Farm
As the air gets a little crisper and the leaves begin their stunning transformation, there’s no better time to embrace the spirit of autumn than with a visit to a local farm. In Lino Lakes, one name stands out for a classic fall experience: Waldoch Farm. This multi-generational family farm has become a go-to destination, offering a perfect blend of harvest traditions and engaging activities for all ages at its Joyer Adventure Farm.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin, a challenging corn maze, or just a day of outdoor play, Waldoch Farm has it all.
Pick Your Own Pumpkin 🎃

No fall article is complete without a pumpkin patch! At Waldoch Farm, the experience of picking a pumpkin is a true highlight. You can take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, which winds through scenic woods with beautiful fall foliage. Once you arrive, you’ll find acres of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, just waiting to be chosen for your Jack-o’-lantern masterpiece or fall décor.
For those who prefer a quicker grab-and-go option, the Waldoch Farm Garden Center also has a wide selection of pumpkins, gourds, and other fall decorations ready to take home.
The Corn Maze Challenge 🌽
A fall adventure wouldn’t be complete without getting lost in a corn maze! The Joyer Adventure Farm‘s corn maze is a must-do for families. It’s designed with two phases, making it a great option for everyone. The first phase is shorter and perfect for younger kids, taking about 10-15 minutes to complete. The second phase is a bit more challenging, so be prepared to spend a while trying to find your way through the twists and turns!
The corn maze theme changes each year, adding a fun, new element to your annual visit.
