What to do at Moulton Farm
There’s a surprising amount packed into this working farm — you can easily spend half a day here!
Navigate the Corn Maze: Each year, Moulton Farm creates two corn mazes — a full-sized maze and a smaller one designed for younger visitors. It’s part challenge, part adventure, and entirely photo-friendly. Cost: Adults: $12, Kids (ages 3–6): $6, Kids under 3: Free. Your ticket includes both mazes, so you can test your navigation skills and still let the little ones explore safely.
Pick Your Own Pumpkin: From smooth carving pumpkins to funky heirloom varieties, Moulton Farm’s pumpkin patch offers a rainbow of choices. You can walk the field, grab a wagon, and pick your own pumpkins — or visit the garden center for pre-picked options and decorative gourds, corn stalks, and mums. When to Go: Late September through mid-October for the best selection.
Farm Market & Bakery: The farm’s indoor market is an autumn treasure chest. You’ll find fresh produce, apple cider, jams, breads, cookies, and pies baked daily in their farm bakery. Don’t miss the pumpkin whoopie pies or their fresh fruit pies that taste straight out of grandma’s oven.
Cider Bellies Doughnuts: A local legend! Cider Bellies operates right on-site, serving warm, sugar-dusted apple cider doughnuts that pair perfectly with crisp fall air. Hours: Monday–Friday: 8 AM – 2 PM and Saturday–Sunday: 8 AM – 4 PM.
Food Truck- Moulton’s Hay Wagon: When you’ve worked up an appetite from the maze and pumpkin patch, head behind the market for farm-fresh burgers, sandwiches, and brunch fare. Hours: Saturday: 10 AM – 3 PM and Sunday (brunch menu): 9 AM – 3 PM.
Sal’s Fresh Seafood & More: It might sound unexpected for a pumpkin patch, but Moulton Farm has its own seafood counter (Thu–Sat) and plenty of locally sourced products from New Hampshire artisans — from honey to cheeses to wine.
Events & Festive Touches
In addition to its regular fall attractions, Moulton Farm hosts themed weekends packed with live music, kids’ crafts, and wagon rides. Keep an eye on their Events Page for details — schedules can shift with the weather.
They also cater special occasions and holidays, offering platters, quiches, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts through their Farm Kitchen. Holiday catering menus open in late October, just in time for Thanksgiving planning.
Why You’ll Love It
Moulton Farm feels like a small-town celebration of fall — the kind of place where kids race through mazes, couples pose with pumpkins, and families linger over cider and doughnuts. Whether you go for the photo ops or the fresh pie, it’s a true slice of New England autumn.
