Town & Country Nursery is a fall operation grafted onto a year-round nursery business in Kearneysville (Jefferson County), in the Eastern Panhandle near the Maryland border. The fall lineup is straightforward: two maze options (corn and hay bale), tractor-pulled hayrides, and pumpkins (both u-pick and pre-picked). There are no elaborate festivals, haunted attractions, or extended evening hours; this is a crisp, family-scale outing timed for the October school calendar.
The appeal of dual mazes is real. A corn maze is the traditional draw — tall stalks, genuine wandering challenge, the sense that you might actually get lost. A hay bale maze uses straw bales as walls and is typically lower, simpler, and less frustrating for kids 3–6. By offering both, the nursery lets families choose: take the preschooler through the hay bale maze while an older sibling tackles the corn. Both mazes can be run on the same visit.
The farm does not publish admission, hayride, or u-pick pricing anywhere in the sources we checked. This is not unusual for smaller, locally-run operations, but it is a real inconvenience for planning. A five-minute call to 304-725-1252 answers the question and lets you budget. Do that before you drive.
The farm runs 10am to 6pm every single day from September 15 through October 31. That is a strong operating window — no weekend-only crush, no mid-week closures. It means a weekday visit is a genuine option for families with schedule flexibility, and you may score lighter crowds and possibly a weekday discount. Ask when you call about pricing.
Unlike farms that force u-pick or pre-picked, Town & Country offers both. If your kids are enthusiastic pickers (or if the u-pick cost is manageable), go the pick-your-own route. If you want to grab a nice pumpkin and move on to the maze, the pre-picked selection is there. That flexibility is worth noting.
Kearneysville sits at the edge of the mountains. October foliage can arrive early and vividly here thanks to elevation, and the narrow mountain roads that wind through the area mean a 20-minute straight-line trip can take 30 minutes in real driving time. Budget accordingly if you are combining this stop with another fall activity.
The nursery also operates a year-round retail greenhouse and plant business, so if you are interested in mums or other fall plants while you are there, that is available too.
Call 304-725-1252, confirm hours and pricing, ask about weekday availability and any discounts, and time your visit for early October if you can — the latest weeks can get rainy and muddy, and October 31 marks the end of the season.
September 15 through October 31, 2026, running 10am to 6pm daily. That seven-week window and daily hours are ideal for families with flexible schedules. Peak weekends (late September and mid-October) are likely busier, but the daily operation means you can avoid crowds by choosing a weekday or an off-peak date.
Two to three hours covers both mazes, u-pick pumpkins, and a hayride comfortably. You are not looking at a full-day commitment.
Forty-two operating days (seven days a week, September 15–October 31). The daily availability means you can time a weekday visit for lighter crowds. Saturdays and Sundays will draw families; October weekends (especially mid-October) are typical peak times.
Not published. Assume farm parking and potential for muddy/soft ground after rain, typical for Eastern Panhandle nurseries in fall.
You need pricing information upfront; the farm does not list admission or activity costs online, and calls ahead are required to budget. Also skip if your kids are too young for mazes — there is no mention of rides or entertainment beyond hayrides and petting activities.

A corn maze winds through tall stalks (classic challenge), while a hay bale maze uses straw bales as walls (typically shorter and simpler, better for toddlers). Town & Country offers both, so families can pick based on their kids' ages and appetite for a challenge.
The farm offers both options — u-pick pumpkins and pre-picked pumpkins. You can choose based on your preference.
September 15 – October 31, 2026. Daily. Hours: 10am-6pm daily (Sept 15-Oct 31).
