Farmstead Season Starts Friday; Check Out This Year’s Themed Days

One of the Treasure Valley's most beloved corn mazes and pumpkin patch opens for the season this Friday! Here's how you can save some serious cash on admission throughout the year! 

Thanks to going viral on Jimmy Fallon and consistently being a contender in USA Today's 10 Best competition for corn mazes in America, it goes without saying that The Farmstead is the Treasure Valley's most famous Halloween attraction.  The festival includes the famous potato themed corn maze, pumpkin patch, haunted Field of Screams, Rusty the Very Big Beast, candy cannons and more! There's something fun for kids of all ages at The Farmstead!
