Tickets are also available on-site and the farm accepts cash, check, credit card and debit card
Gopher Athletics and Joyer Adventure Farm have teamed up this year to bring you one of the most unique and entertaining corn mazes in the state. The family-friendly Joyer Adventure Farm will feature Minnesota's iconic Running Goldy logo as a corn maze this fall, which is sure to provide endless entertainment for Gopher fans, corn-maze enthusiasts and visitors to the farm.
Joyer Adventure Farm is in Lino Lakes, Minn., and the Running Goldy corn maze will be featured from September 21 through October 31. The labyrinth has two phases, which includes a kid-friendly option that can get you in and out of the maze in about 10-15 minutes. Doing both phases can result in an hour in the maze, depending on how lost you get.
The farm also provides additional fun for all ages and features a hay wagon ride to the pumpkin patch, grandpa's grain train ride, slides, outdoor games, acres of play, and a barnyard with farm animals. There is something for everyone to enjoy, and visitors can purchase discounted tickets online at Joyer Adventure Farm's website. Tickets are also available on-site and the farm accepts cash, check, credit card and debit card. Hours of operation are online.
The University of Minnesota also has a special meaning to the Joyer family, as numerous members of the family – spanning multiple generations – attended the U. The Joyer family has operated the farm as the third and fourth generation since the early 1980s. Mary Joyer is the third-generation farmer and owner, as her grandparents bought the farm more than 100 years ago. Andrew Joyer, fourth-generation farmer, graduated in 2005 with a Horticulture degree from the U and is currently a manager on the farm. He comments about the maze design, "As farmers we aren't usually thrilled to have gophers in our fields, but as a U of M alumni, this is one Gopher in the corn field that I am excited about."
Joyer Adventure Farm is conveniently located at 8174 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, MN 55014.
About Joyer Adventure Farm
Joyer Adventure Farm is the agritourism area of Waldoch Farm. This admission-based part of the farm has 20 plus activities and is open from mid-June to October 31st. There is an agriculture aspect to Joyer Adventure farm every week. The activities throughout the year include strawberries, honeybees, vegetables, cut flowers, sunflowers, pumpkins, corn maze and barnyard full of farm animals. As families get more removed from their farming heritage, we want to provide the connection to agriculture that is missing. Doug Joyer, a 4th generation farmer, graduated in 2007 with a Horticulture degree, and is general manager, likes to say, "I always wanted my children to be able to experience the joy I had on my grandparent's farm. My hope is that with Joyer Adventure Farm your children or grandchildren will be able have a connection to agriculture and nature like my grandparents instilled in me and I hope I am instilling in my children too."
