A large (330-acre), historic family farm offering u-pick pumpkins, hayrides, soybean maze, bonfires, playground, gift shop, and ice cream — substantial fall attractions, but specific hours are not published and pricing requires a call.
Coleman’s Christmas Tree Farm is a historic, multi-generational family operation (established 1932, 90+ years) spanning 330 acres. The fall program includes u-pick pumpkins, hayrides, soybean maze, bonfires, playground, gift shop, and ice cream stand. The scale and infrastructure suggest a mature, well-established farm with capacity for both drop-in visitors and organized groups.
A 330-acre property operated by the same family for 90+ years implies established practices, reliable infrastructure, and experience managing fall crowds. This is not a startup farm; it is an institution in the Middletown community.
Coleman’s features a soybean maze instead of the more common corn. This is a tactile and structural difference — soybean plants are bushier and denser than corn stalks, creating a different maze experience. It is a minor but notable distinction.
Many farms mention fall atmosphere; Coleman’s explicitly features bonfires, which suggests evening programming and group-friendly entertainment. Details about bonfire programming (scheduled nights, whether they require separate purchase, whether food/s’mores are involved) require a call to confirm.
U-pick, hayrides, maze, playground, gift shop, and ice cream span ages and interests. For multi-generational outings or groups with varied ages and energy levels, this layering is useful.
