Hayrides, pumpkins, apple cider, kettle corn, family fun. What better place to get a real sense of the fall season than Barton Hill Farms? Barton Hill Farms is set among 100-year-old cottonwood trees, rolling grassy hills and the picturesque Colorado River in Bastrop, TX. Their Fall Festival & Corn Maze kicks off on Saturday, September 26 and is the perfect setting for some outdoor fun with games, a corn maze, pumpkin patch, farm animals and more.

This year’s corn maze has a Peanuts’ Great Pumpkin theme with Snoopy. On Saturday evenings you can try navigating the maze by flashlight from dusk ’til 10 p.m.
In addition to the maze, you can head to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin to paint there or take home with you to carve. The kids will also enjoy visiting with the farm animals, pillow jumping, face painting, a barrel train, and steer dummy roping. Also, Barton Hill Farms has a fifty-foot replica of an early Texas maritime schooner and a replica an 1800s era Texas Fort for children and adults to enjoy. There’s also live country music and lots of food to choose from (take note that no outside food is allowed).
