Activities
As our guest, you're welcome to take a stroll, explore some of the farm facilities, sit under a tree and take in the peaceful countryside.
A stop at Mapleton's can turn into a full day of fun – meet the animals, get lost in the maze, of course, finish the day with an ice cream cone!
*Please note that our activities are open from late May to late October.
The Main Dairy Barn and Farm Store are open all year round.
Please check our Contact page for hours of operation.
Main Dairy Barn
Meet the cows and see our Voluntary Milking system in action!
You can read more about the Voluntary Milking system here.
If you are at the farm around noon, this is the time of the cow's mid-day feeding. A mechanical feeding cart is used to disperse feed to the cows and visitors should stand away from the cart and feeding area. Once the feed is dispersed, the cows will gather at the edge of the pen to eat. A small number of plastic shovels are available, and children are welcome to use them and 'help' push the feed towards the cows.
Visiting the Main Dairy Barn is free!
Demonstration Barn and Barnyard
Meet the animals that call Mapleton's their home. From May to October you'll find a variety of animals and feathered friends ready to greet you: pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits.
Visiting this area is free!
