7 New Hampshire Fall Farm Stands and Corn Mazes Worth Planning a Trip Around

Fall in New Hampshire isn’t only about the leaves.

A farm stand or a corn maze can be reason enough to plan a whole day.

Here are the New Hampshire fall farm stands and corn mazes worth planning a trip around.

1. Coppal House Farm

Coppal House Farm in Lee keeps its corn maze open for about seven weeks this fall, from Sept. 12 through Oct. 31.

You can walk it by daylight many weekends, or come back after dark for one of three ticketed night mazes, set for Sept. 26, Oct. 10 and Oct. 24.

Bring your flashlight.

Coppal House Farm cuts a new design into the field every season, and this year’s is the “2026 Chipmunk Corn Maze.”

The farm sits at 118 North River Road, close enough to Durham and Newmarket for an easy Seacoast day trip.

2. Moulton Farm

Moulton Farm in Meredith opens its corn maze Sept. 19 and keeps it running daily through October, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the last admission sold an hour before closing.

Adult admission runs $12, kids three to six pay $6, and anyone younger walks in free.

There’s no weekend-only rule here.

Past the maze, you’ll find a full sunflower field and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, so your Lakes Region afternoon doesn’t have to end when the corn does.

Select weekends add wagon rides with live music, if you want to turn the stop into a whole afternoon instead of an hour.

3. Sherman Farm

Sherman Farm in Center Conway runs its corn maze weekends only, Sept. 19 through Oct. 25, in the Mount Washington Valley.

Three difficulty levels wait inside, plus a built-in “Farm Scene Treasure Hunt” that turns your walk into a game instead of a straight shot to the exit.

A pumpkin patch, corn boxes and a bounce pad round out the grounds.

Kids who finish early still have somewhere to go.

Ticket prices shift by the weekend instead of holding at one flat rate, so check the calendar before you drive out.

Some weekends run higher.

Sherman Farm’s Weekend Price Swings

Sherman Farm charges $15 a person on the season’s opening and closing weekends, Sept. 19 to 20 and Sept. 26 to 27, plus Oct. 17 to 18 and Oct. 24 to 25.

The price jumps to $18 for the two weekends in between, Oct. 3 to 4 and Oct. 10 to 12, which include the Columbus Day stretch.

Kids age two and under always enter free, no matter which weekend you pick.

4. Beans & Greens Farm

Beans & Greens Farm in Gilford runs two separate fall attractions once October starts, a daytime corn maze and a nighttime haunted walk.

Its day maze runs daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. once the season opens Oct. 2, built for families with young kids.

Daytime visits run through an online reservation system, so it helps to book your slot before you drive over.

After dark, it’s different.

Every Friday and Saturday night in October, a separate woodland trail on the farm becomes “Beans & Screams,” a haunted walk through the rotting remains of its abandoned greenhouses.

The night version runs 7 to 10 p.m., and anyone under 18 needs an adult along for that one.

5. Gould Hill Farm

Gould Hill Farm runs a farm stand out of an 1810 barn on a hilltop outside Contoocook, and the shelves change with whatever the orchard picked that morning.

Weekends in the fall bring fresh apple cider donuts made from cider pressed right there, alongside homemade pies, crisps and the farm’s pumpkin whoopie pies.

You’ll also find local honey from the bees that work the orchards, plus local maple syrup and jars of jam lining the shelves.

If picking is more your speed, the orchard still grows over 100 varieties of apples.

Don’t wait too long.

Hours run Tuesday through Sunday, typically from Labor Day weekend through Columbus Day.

This fall’s varieties include Cortland, Gala, HoneyCrisp, Kearsarge and McIntosh, all on dwarf trees short enough that nobody needs a ladder.

Farm staff walk first-timers through the basics, then let you finish the rows on your own.

6. Sunfox Farm

Sunfox Farm in Concord already had its Columbus Day festival crowd, but you can still walk its six-acre corn and sunflower mazes Thursdays through Sundays for the rest of October.

A wristband costs $13 for anyone 11 and older, and kids 10 and under enter free.

Pumpkins picked straight from the patch ring up by weight, at 89 cents a pound.

More fall weekends remain.

You’ll catch one more festival weekend, Oct. 24 and 25, with live music and food vendors back for the encore.

One 21-and-over evening event remains too, Boos & Brews on Oct. 24, in case you’d rather walk the maze without the kids.

7. Washburn's Windy Hill Orchard

Washburn's Windy Hill Orchard in Greenville cuts a brand new five-acre maze design every single year, so your walk changes even if you visited last October.

That's been true since the family opened this Monadnock Region orchard in 1997.

More than 700 apple trees stand behind the maze today.

You can walk it weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and weekend hours stretch to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., all the way from Labor Day through Halloween.

Free tractor-drawn hayrides run out to the orchard on weekends.

Grab local maple syrup or honey from the farm's bees at the gift shop before you leave.

Washburn's corn maze is wheelchair and stroller accessible, the farm's site says.

That's no accident.

General admission runs $5 a person, with kids three and under free.

The gift shop's apple cider donuts carry a "Voted Best in NH" label, and that's before anyone even reaches the pumpkin patch.

New Hampshire Fish and Game logs an average of 64 moose-vehicle collisions every year, and most happen in low light.

New residents assume that risk peaks in the dead of winter, but the state's wildlife runs on a different fall calendar.

Portsmouth only lets a restaurant seat dogs on its patio between April 15 and November 15, and that's a city variance renewed every single year.

A place can call itself pet-friendly and still run a policy a lot narrower than it sounds.
