A South Jersey farm (Cumberland County) with a 5-acre handcrafted corn maze, sunflower fields, and fall activities—newly reopened for 2026 after seasonal closure, located in rural farm country.
Hedge Field Farms sits in Cumberland County, in the southern reaches of New Jersey’s farmland, closer to Delaware than to most population centers. This is genuine agricultural countryside, not suburban pumpkin-patch territory. The farm emphasizes its handcrafted corn maze (created by the farm rather than machine-cut) and sunflower fields, suggesting a more artisanal experience than industrialized activity farms.
The farm was closed for the season in July 2026 and has confirmed reopening September 26 for the fall season. This is a useful note: if the farm was doing off-season maintenance, facilities should be fresh. If the closure involved serious repairs, you might call first to confirm everything is fully operational.
The main draw is the 5-acre handcrafted corn maze. Handcrafted means the farm creates the design by hand or small equipment (rather than using a GPS and tractor to cut the maze all at once), which often reflects more creative layouts and personal touches. The farm redesigns the maze yearly. Size and difficulty are not specified, so call (609) 429-0143 to ask whether it’s suitable for your family’s age and navigation comfort.
Sunflower fields are a secondary draw—useful for photos and aesthetic experience. Whether you can pick sunflowers or just walk among them and photograph is not specified; call to confirm.
Secondary activities listed: hayrides, wagon train, tricycle path, giant corn pit, and face painting. These suggest variety for families with mixed-age children. Admissions and activity pricing are not published online.
The farm operates a concessions stand with homemade food, treats, and beverages—a detail that appears in promotional material. “Homemade” often resonates with visitors seeking an authentic, non-chain experience. Specific menu and pricing are not available; call to ask what to expect.
Bridgeton is far South Jersey, roughly 90 minutes from Philadelphia, 2+ hours from North Jersey, and outside the geographic cluster of farms accessible via short drives. For a visitor, this is worth noting: the farm is worthwhile if you’re already in the region, but less so if it’s your sole destination.
The lack of published operating hours, combined with geographic distance, means a wasted trip is costly. Call (609) 429-0143 and confirm:
The farm reopens September 26, meaning early September is not an option. Late September has reasonable weather and lower crowds than mid-October. October is busier and potentially more expensive. Weekday visits are quieter but depend on whether the farm operates on weekdays.
Handcrafted corn mazes are a point of pride for farmers who create them. It reflects care and individual attention. For visitors, the real question is whether the maze is fun and appropriately challenging for your family, which a phone call to the farm will clarify far better than a written description.
