Last Weekend of the Season
If you have trouble finding us, look for the 70ft pumpkin!Our final weekend of the season (we officially close at 6PM on Monday night) will be highlighted with a Pumpkin Carving Contest and Fright Night mazes, so if you want to do the corn maze during the day, Friday, 10/28 at 5PM is the last time it will be open for daytime visits. But if you're interested in the Fright Night visits, you're just in time as those run each night from 10/29-10/31. Don't forget to get a few pumpkins and gourds afterwards to take home and decorate.
The Pumpkin Blossom Cafe & Gift Shoppe and Harvest Brew are open everyday and during Fright Nights. If you're doing the maze at night, it's probably best to eat after you go through the maze, if you know what we mean.
We're also excited to announce our 2nd Annual Holiday Art & Craft Show on Nov. 18-20. Download the details.

Field Trips & Parties
Upcoming events
A key part of our mission at Rader Family Farms is to educate while we entertain. We live in a day and age when many children think milk comes from refrigerators and vegetables are grown at Jewel/Osco. Rader Family Farms has been a working farm for over 100 years on the very land we use today.
When school children visit us, we want them to have fun running through the corn maze, picking out pumpkins and enjoying all the activities, but our greatest hope is that they will leave with a better understanding of agriculture and an appreciation for our Illinois farming heritage.

Let Rader Family Farms help plan your fall birthday party. We've got a variety of packages to make this year's celebration one that will be remembered for years to come. Take a look at what we can offer or contact Kacy at parties@raderfamilyfarms.com.
