Our take

What to Expect

Beans and Greens Farm is unusual in operating both daytime and evening corn-maze experiences. Most pumpkin patches close at dusk; this farm opens its maze for Friday and Saturday nights from 8 PM–11 PM, creating a rare evening-activity option in the Lakes Region.

The farm year-round—it’s not a pop-up fall venue—which may mean the maze and activities are higher-quality and better-maintained than seasonal operations. The roster includes a petting zoo, face painting, hayrides, and a mini zipline alongside the maze, so there’s enough variety for a 2-3 hour outing.

The on-site biergarten adds another layer: this farm caters to adults and families, not just kids. That positioning explains both the evening hours and the diversity of activities.

Daytime vs. Evening: What Fits Your Plan

The farm operates 10 AM–5 PM on weekdays and the same daytime hours on weekends, then adds 8 PM–11 PM Friday and Saturday nights. This gives you flexibility:

  • Weekday morning: Quiet crowds, standard maze experience, full petting-zoo and hayride operation, good for young children.
  • Saturday afternoon: Busier but daytime lighting; full activity menu.
  • Friday or Saturday evening: Unique nighttime maze with presumably lighting or glow effects (confirm with the farm), plus access to the biergarten for adults. This is clearly marketed as an evening-entertainment experience, not a family-afternoon outing.

If you’re bringing kids under 8, stick to daytime hours. If you’re looking for a Friday-night outing with friends or your partner, the evening maze is what makes this farm different from dozens of other Lakes Region patches.

Pricing

The farm does not list admission rates online. You must call 603-293-2853 or visit beansandgreensfarm.com to ask for current per-person pricing or family packages. When you call, ask whether:

  • Daytime and evening-maze pricing differ
  • The biergarten requires separate admission or charges separately for food and drinks
  • Group rates or weekday discounts apply
  • Any activities (mini zipline, petting zoo) cost extra beyond maze admission

Season and Timing

The farm opens September 13 and operates daily. The Lakes Region typically peaks in fall color around early-to-mid October. Weekday visits will be quieter; Friday-Saturday evenings during peak October weekends will be busy, especially if the evening maze draws the crowds it’s designed to attract.

Nights cool quickly in the Lakes Region even in September, so bring a jacket for evening visits.

How to Plan Your Visit

Call the farm to confirm exact pricing, capacity for your group size (especially for evening slots), and whether specific activities require advance booking. Ask whether the evening maze experience is suitable for your kids’ ages or geared primarily toward older children and adults.

Bring comfortable shoes, layers for evenings, and cash or confirm card payments when you call. If you’re doing the biergarten, ask whether you can enter for food and drinks without purchasing maze admission.

Common questions

What are the exact admission prices?

The farm does not publish pricing online. Call 603-293-2853 or visit beansandgreensfarm.com to ask for current per-person or family rates.

Can we do the maze at night with the kids?

The Friday-Saturday night hours (8 PM–11 PM) suggest an evening-entertainment experience, likely with lighting in the maze. Call the farm to confirm whether this time works for young children or if it's geared toward older kids and adults.

Is the biergarten a separate cost, or included in admission?

The biergarten is listed as a separate activity, suggesting it has separate pricing or is run as a stand-alone venue. Clarify the arrangement when you call—you may be able to enter the farm without paying full admission if you only want the biergarten.

What is the mini zipline, and what ages can do it?

Specific details about the zipline's height, age restrictions, or operator requirements are not published. Ask the farm when you call; ziplines typically have age and weight minimums.
