Edgewater Farms Celebrates 4th Year
Author: Traci Maughan
Edgewater Farms will open their doors for the fourth year on September 23, 2022. Many residents of Broadwater County and the surrounding areas have made the Farm a fall tradition. Co-owner Nancy Davis says that is what they hoped to create. “We want a place that children can spend 3-4 hours and not want to leave,” Davis says, “A place that families can spend time together and never run out of things to keep their interest.”
This year, opening weekend is going to be larger than in previous years. If you purchase an entrance ticket on Friday September 23, you receive a free ticket to come back the next day, September 24.
There will be door prizes every hour and a vendor fair Saturday from 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
The new bakery will be open, making the famous chocolate chip cookies for the Sweet Shop and the Grill. This year there will also be a featured cookie of the week!
This year, the corn maze theme is “Keeping it Rural”. The maze contains a tractor, the words of the theme, a farmer and even a pig! The jumping pillow, giant slide, games and corn pit will make an appearance once again as will additional games. New this year will be a scavenger hunt for attendees. “There will be clues found throughout the farm,” Davis says, “When children find all the clues, they will receive a small prize!”
The maze is open Fridays from 4:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 am–9:00 p.m. throughout the season. Davis says they are always looking for interested employees that want to have a great time while working.
A special event for October 29 is planned, as well as apple shooting, hayrides and simply spending time in a beautiful location. Admission prices have remained the same this year at $10.00 a person (age 4 and older) and the admission is good for the day!
Nancy Davis says she enjoys running the maze and watching families enjoying time together. Davis ran a maze in 2001 and says even though times have changed the purpose of the maze remains the same, “to allow families a place to go and a place to build traditions.”
You can join the fun starting Friday, September 23, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. The location is 6 miles south of Townsend at 8410 Hwy 287.
