Maize Valley has been open since the 1960s and likes to joke that their number one “crop” from the rich soil of their 750-acre farm is FUN. Their event calendar is brimming with activities all year long to make your visit memorable. From car cruise-ins and weekend concerts to fall festivities with wagon rides, corn mazes and the legendary pumpkin cannon, the activities at Maize Valley will entertain all ages. |
|
|
They are founded on old-fashioned values, where employees are treated like family and customers are treated like friends. Dedicated to the community, Maize Valley commits to supporting causes throughout Northeast Ohio and helping neighbors when they need a hand. VIEW THE FULL SCHEDULE

White House Fruit Farm has grown produce for over 90 years. Apples are their signature crop, but they also grow strawberries, blueberries, peaches, nectarines, sweet corn, asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, squash, onions, cucumbers, eggplant, and pumpkins.
The farm brings fun beyond the farm market. They are a destination for all seasons! They look forward to welcoming you!

Today, the orchard is owned by Mark and Olivia Telschow. Olivia shares her knowledge of the bakery as she learned it working hands-on in the kitchen, adding the commercial bakery operation to their agritourism farm.

Chestnut Brae Farm Virtual Tour |
|
John & Linda Stanley’s Chestnut Brae Farm: Virtual Tour from the Southwest of Australia
Many of you know John and Linda Stanley as Farm Retail consultants and session presenters at NAFDMA’s conferences. Now, through a 45-minute virtual video tour, we have the opportunity to discover all that they have to offer on their own farm, “Chestnut Brae”.
You will gain an in-depth understanding of their operation, learn what they do, why they do it, and how their ideas can be relevant to our own businesses. Chestnut Brae takes a unique approach to their marketing – learn what works and what doesn’t, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel of your own marketing initiatives. Also included is an interactive workbook that you can use to enhance various aspects of your own operation, as well as a link to their blogger video connection (one of the ways they get others to spread the word.)
LIVE Q & A
Because of our Australia and North American East/West Coast time differences, we will present our Live Q & A twice with John and Linda:
Session One - June 2nd – 8:30 pm ET, 5:30 pm PT
Session Two - June 3rd – 8:00 am ET, 5:00 am PT
A recording will be available for later viewing, if you can’t attend either session.
About Chestnut Brae Farm
Chestnut Brae Farm is 70 idyllic acres of mature organic sweet chestnut forests that were planted biodynamically in 1985, as well as mushroom crops, heirloom vegetables and heritage animals that are all farmed sustainably using regenerative agriculture and holistic management. They also offer a Farm Stay along with their Retail Store and Guided Tours of the farm.
Access to all of the above will be included in your registration confirmation email.
