Mills Apple Farm is open seasonally from mid-July to December of each year.

Pumpkin Tours:
We also do Pumpkin Tours, which include a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. Each child will be able to choose a small pumpkin to take home.

Private Group Hayrides and Bonfires:
We offer a 45 minute hayride pulled by a tractor here on the farm. We don't go out on any roads. While you're out, we light a campfire so that when you return it will be burning down to coals suitable for cooking hotdogs and roasting marshmallows. The fire burns about an hour.

Train Rides:
Any child who has ever wanted to drive a train will have that chance on weekends, when the train is available. Contact us to know the availability.
