A creative 10-acre corn maze (designed as owners' dogs' faces) with a pumpkin patch and hayrides in Midcoast Maine, operating September 3 through October 31 on a cash-only basis, with no published admission prices.
Cash only
Homewood Farm is organized around a single centerpiece: a 10-acre corn maze designed annually by the farm owners, Jeff and Trudy Beardsworth. The dog-face design (floppy ears and cartoony noses) is not incidental branding — it is the reason maze enthusiasts return to this farm year after year. Families reportedly spend entire days exploring the maze, which is the intended use.
The farm operates September 3 through October 31, 2026, and operates on a cash-only basis. No admission prices are published, and contacting the farm in advance is necessary for budget planning.
This is not a farm where you walk a 15-minute maze and move on. The complexity and size mean a full exploration takes hours, and families treat it as the main event of the day. If a maze is not a priority or if you want a quick farm visit, this location ranks lower than others in the region.
The Beardsworth owners design a new maze annually, which means the design changes. This is what differentiates Homewood from farms with generic rectangular mazes. If you visit twice, the maze will be different. That novelty is the appeal for repeat visitors and for anyone interested in corn-maze artistry.
Hayride tours run around the farm property. The petting farm includes piglets, calves, and ducks, which add options for families who want to break up maze time. However, these are secondary activities; the maze is the centerpiece.
Blue Hill is located about 30 minutes south of the Bar Harbor area in Midcoast Maine, a region milder and with more tourist overlap than inland Maine. That mild climate extends the effective season compared to Northern Maine locations. Late October visits are realistic here, though pumpkin quality may decline as frost approaches.
The farm does not publish admission figures and operates cash-only. Call 207-374-9903 before planning to confirm current prices, to ask whether alternative payment methods are accepted, and to check weekday availability if that is your preference. TripAdvisor reviews are consistently positive for maze quality and farm experience, which is the strongest signal in the absence of detailed published information.
The farm operates September 3 through October 31, 2026. The maze is the centerpiece, and families reportedly spend entire days exploring it. Visit mid-September through early October for comfortable outdoor conditions and before any early frost threatens pumpkin quality. Midcoast Maine is milder than inland regions, so later-October visits remain viable, but avoid the very end of the season if pumpkin selection is a priority.
Three to four hours if you are taking the maze seriously. The farm's reputation for complex, creative maze design means a full exploration is part of the experience. Hayrides and pumpkin patch add another hour.
A creative maze with strong regional reputation draws steadily across weekends. Weekday visits, especially in September, are quieter. Late October weekends may see lighter traffic as the season winds down.

Call 207-374-9903 before planning to confirm prices and to ask whether cards are accepted (or to budget for ATM access). Skip also if you expect a quick farm visit; this maze is designed for deep exploration, not a quick spin.

The farm owners, Jeff and Trudy Beardsworth, personally design the maze each year. The current design features images of the owners' dogs (floppy ears and cartoony noses) and is the draw for maze enthusiasts who return annually to see the new design.
