The Dark Crop at Lavoie's Farm operates a unique evening haunted corn maze with flashlight-guided navigation, plus daytime pick-your-own pumpkins and apples, and a kiddie maze—but 2026 dates, hours, and pricing are not published.
The Dark Crop at Lavoie’s Farm operates a hybrid daytime-and-nighttime model, which is unusual in the region. The signature offering is an evening haunted corn maze navigated with flashlights—not a full-dark horror experience, but an atmospheric evening activity with spooky scenery and actors. This appeals to adults, teenagers, and families with older kids seeking an alternative to daytime family activities.
During daytime, the farm operates pick-your-own pumpkins and apples alongside a separate kiddie maze designed for younger children. This allows diverse family groups to find something suited to their ages.

Call 603-882-0072 to ask:
For a daytime outing: Arrive mid-morning to enjoy picking pumpkins and apples at your own pace. Plan 1–1.5 hours. Bring sturdy bags or a wagon to carry harvest items.
For an evening outing: Call ahead to confirm time slots (haunted mazes often run on a schedule). Plan 1.5–2 hours. Bring a flashlight if required and layers for evening cool-down.
If you’re mixing ages, ask the farm whether you can split your group (adults on the haunted maze, kids on the kiddie maze) and do both in one visit, or whether those are separate-day experiences.

You navigate the corn maze at night using a flashlight; spooky scenery and actors enhance the experience. It's a guided adventure rather than total darkness. Ask the farm about how well-lit the paths are and whether you need to bring your own flashlight.
The farm emphasizes 'family-friendly' haunted experiences and offers a separate kiddie maze for younger children. The evening experience is likely less intense than adult haunted houses, but call the farm to confirm age recommendations.
