Frequently Asked Questions: Planning Your Visit to Strom’s Farm
Whether you are stopping by to pick up our signature baked goods or spending the day navigating our 5-acre charity corn maze, here is everything you need to know to plan a seamless visit to our Guelph agritourism farm.
Do I have to pay admission just to buy pumpkins or visit the bakery?
No, an admission ticket is never required to visit our market area. You are welcome to drop in anytime during our regular Wednesday–Sunday operating hours to shop our selection of over 10,000 pumpkins, pick up our scratch-made 100% pure butter tarts, or browse our seasonal home decor.
Do I need to buy activity tickets online in advance?
It depends on when you visit. For the Weekend Fall Farm Experience, tickets must be purchased online in advance to guarantee entry, as capacity is limited. Conversely, Weekday Harvest Fun tickets are exclusively sold at the gate upon arrival. Night Maze tickets can be purchased either online or at the gate.
Can I bring my dog to the pumpkin patch or corn maze?
To ensure a safe, stress-free environment for all our guests and working farm staff, Strom’s Farm & Bakery maintains a strict no-pets policy. Only fully certified service animals with proper documentation are permitted on the property.
Does the farm bakery offer gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan options?
Because we operate a traditional scratch-made farm kitchen, we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination and do not offer certified gluten-free or vegan baked goods. If anyone in your group has strict dietary restrictions, we highly recommend stopping by Portions in Guelph for excellent allergy-friendly treats before your visit.
Are we allowed to bring outside food, drinks, or picnic lunches?
Outside food and beverages are not permitted on the farm. However, we offer plenty of on-site options to satisfy your group. During weekends and Night Mazes, you can enjoy savory snacks at our Eats & Embers fire pits, grab sweet treats from Harvest Treats Co., or purchase meals from rotating local food trucks.
Is the corn maze wheelchair and stroller accessible?
Our 5-acre corn maze features over 5 kilometers of hand-hoed dirt trails. While they are generally wide enough for strollers and rugged wheelchairs, accessibility is heavily dependent on the weather. After heavy rainfall, the paths can become muddy and difficult to navigate with wheels.
What happens if it rains on the day I bought tickets for?
Strom’s Farm is an outdoor, rain-or-shine agricultural destination. We recommend dressing for the weather and wearing proper farm footwear. If severe, unsafe weather forces us to close the farm, ticket holders will be notified regarding rebooking policies.
Are there age restrictions for Mazing in the Moonlight?
Mazing in the Moonlight is designed as an immersive evening experience and is highly popular with adults, teens, and corporate groups. While all ages are welcome, the maze is completely unlit (flashlights are mandatory), and any children 11 years of age or younger must be closely accompanied by an adult at all times.
How long does it take to complete the main corn maze?
Most groups spend between 45 to 60 minutes navigating the 5 kilometers of trails inside our 5-acre charity corn maze. You can extend your time by searching for all the interactive trivia checkpoints hidden throughout the paths!
Does Strom's Farm offer a season pass?
Yes! New for 2026, we offer a Harvest Fun Season Pass for $55.00 (required for ages 3 and up). It grants you unlimited access to the farm during any operating hours, allowing you to enjoy the weekday activities, weekend festivals, and night mazes all season long.
