Maple Shade Farm is filling the weekend with another fall themed festival at the farm you love with the fall experiences you’ve come to know and enjoy, with new vibes, too!
Come sip on local beverages, shop at the vendor market, play festive games, and simply chill. Bask in the beauty of fall colors while enjoying a drink near the pond or wandering through the yellow barn.
