There’s something for everyone at Critz Farms
Visitors are always welcome at the farm. We have activities for kids and adults, as well as food, beverages, gifts, and rides. From spring through autumn and the holidays, you’ll find many ways to start new traditions and have fun, too!
The farm is open to visitors from mid March until just before Christmas, with the specific dates changing annually with the calendar. Our hours change seasonally, so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Balsam Barn Gift Shop
The Balsam Barn Gift Shop is open from early summer through just before Christmas in our large historic barn. Visit often; new merchandise is put out regularly, including our extensive selection of Christmas ornaments, unique gifts, and locally crafted merchandise.
Cider Mill
Our fresh sweet cider is made in our cider mill from apples grown on our farm. It also serves as the base of our award winning hard ciders which are served in our Tap Room. Watch us press apples in the traditional style on our rare antique rack and cloth press.

Our annual fall corn maze is always challenging and fun! Enjoy the maze, find the information stations, and earn a prize!
