Things to See & Do

Discovery Barnyard and Animal Farm

A hands-on farm play area where kids can feed the friendly farm animals. The Discovery Barnyard Playground has climbing rocks, three play areas, a tractor tire sand castle, a space net, a pedal go-cart dirt track for older kids and a pedal go-cart track for small children, a pretend farm, an EVOS Pathfinder, and three splash pads to cool off on a hot day. It has its own day pass, with half-price admission for paid hayriders on weekdays.

Trip Ideas

Throughout the year, Johnson's Corner Farm offers pick your own blueberries, apples and pumpkins. In the late summer / fall seasons, they also offer hayrides.

For a fall day out, book a weekday hayride if you can, when tickets cost less and the farm is quieter, pick your pumpkins, try the corn maze on a Friday, then let the kids loose in the Discovery Barnyard and finish with cider donuts from the market. Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve, also in Medford, makes a good walk to pair with it.

Special / Seasonal Events

Fall Harvest

Fall Harvest runs every day from mid-September to the start of November, Columbus Day included, with wagon rides out to the fields to pick pumpkins, gourds, sweet potatoes, popcorn and sunflowers. Every weekend through October is a Harvest Festival with live music, the festival food tent, gem mining, duck races and the Discovery Barnyard. For 2026, Fall Harvest runs September 12 to November 1.

Corn Maze

The five-acre family corn maze is open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Columbus Day during Fall Harvest, and a hayride is the only way to reach it. The farm says it is not scary or too difficult, takes 20 to 40 minutes to finish, and is fun for all ages.

November and the Holidays

November hayrides go out to harvest popcorn, sweet potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower, and the farm gives drying and cooking instructions for all of them. At Christmas the farm runs its Musical Light Show Hayride, along with visits and breakfast with Santa.

Spring

The season opens about two weeks before Easter with Easter Egg Hunt Hayrides.

Admission & Guidelines

Fall hayrides are ticketed, and the farm strongly recommends buying online ahead of time: peak weekend times sell out, and walk-in tickets are only sold for times that have not sold out online. Your ticket time is approximate, and guests who arrive early or late on the same day are accommodated. Weekday tickets cost less than weekend ones, and on weekdays paid hayriders get the Discovery Barnyard and Animal Farm at half price (not on September and October weekends, school holidays or the Christmas program). The farm gives full credit for cancellations up to one hour before ticket time, and emails ticket holders about weather changes.

The hayrides are handicap accessible and great for young children. The Discovery Barnyard and Animal Farm has its own day pass and season pass. No dogs or other animals are permitted on the premises.

Hours / Season of Operation

The farm market and ice cream are open daily from 8 AM to 7 PM. Hayrides run from about two weeks before Easter through the Christmas season.

Fall Harvest runs every day from mid-September through the start of November, including Columbus Day, with wagon rides to the fields from 10 AM to 5 PM. Harvest Festivals run every weekend through October, and the corn maze is open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Columbus Day. For 2026, Fall Harvest runs September 12 to November 1. The November harvest hayrides leave continuously from 10 AM to 1 PM on weekdays and 10 AM to 3 PM on weekends.

Picking dates can shift by a week or 10 days from year to year, so check the farm's Currently Picking page before you go.
