ABOUT
Secor Farms
Enjoy a hayride to the Secor Farms pumpkin patch and corn maze. Hayride takes you on a scenic tour of the farm where visitors can pass by the pond, willow trees, and fall decorations. Feel free to explore the corn maze, pick a pumpkin, and relax under the rustic pergola. Afterwards, visit and feed the animals at the petting zoo. Get your cameras ready for pictures in front of “How Tall this Fall”, and the many other face cutouts scattered around the farm. Younger children will have fun working their way through the hay maze, and playing with toy tractors in the corn box. Be sure to check out the farm stand for home made apple cider donuts, fresh pressed apple cider, a large variety of New York State apples, locally grown produce, dairy products, seasonal decorations and so much more! Conveniently located only 24 miles from New York City.

FUN FACTS
The average American may eat 125 pounds of potatoes each year, but corn is actually America’s number one field crop, providing ingredients for cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. The average person eats 68 quarts of popcorn a year alone! Use a trip to an agricultural farm to find out where our fruits and vegetables come from. Compare organic, pesticide-free, and genetically engineered crops. Research the products made possible by crops grown in the U.S. (shampoos, crayons, and baseball bats all come from agricultural products, for example). Ask your local farm about the benefits of eating local or growing your own garden.
