Bring a Group
We welcome groups at Steele Farms! We offer exciting and educational school tours, as well as opportunities for church and scout groups. There is plenty to see and experience during your group's visit to the farm!
Get Lost!
We challenge you to master our maze as you wind through the twists, turns, and dead ends in an attempt to find all the maze checkpoints. If you are fortunate enought to find all of the maze checkpoints, there will be a small prize waiting for you!
Corn Maze
The 2010 Steele Farms corn maze promises to be bigger and better than last!
On any working farm, the barn is one of the most essential parts of the farming operation, where animals live and feed and machinery are stored! So it is with our corn maze!
The 2010 corn maze will once again take the shape of a barn, but this year's maze will offer many more twists, turns, and dead ends! Come on out to our farm and test your maze master abilities! We encourgage you to travel along the numerous maze paths, seeking out farm facts which will help you to complete the maze scavenger hunt.
At the end of your maze journey, you could be rewarded with a small prize, but only if you were skilled enough to find all of the maze checkpoints!
*Steele Farms reserves the right to close the maze due to inclement weather or maze conditions.
Market
Here at Steele Farms, our market is filled with fall décor that will make your home reflect the beauty of the fall season. We carry mums in several colors, Indian corn, decorative pumpkins and gourds, and corn shocks.
While you are in the market, be sure to pick up some of our fresh baked treats to munch on while you stroll around the farm or through the corn maze. Cookies, snack mix, and fresh baked breads are just a few of the goodies that you can choose!
This year we are also offering a concessions stand that will contain drink and food items to be purchased during the lunch and dinner time hours. Concessions items are available on weekends only.
Pumpkin Patch
At Steele Farms we have a pumpkin patch where the perfect pumpkin can be picked! No matter what shape or size pumpkin suits your preference, you can find it in our patch. From small and decorative, to the big and fat Jack O Lanterns, the options are endless! Children will love be able to choose their very own pumpkin from Steele Farms.
*We recommend that you wear sturdy, closed toe shoes when coming to pick your pumpkin.

About The Steeles
We have deep roots in agriculture. Farming can be traced back on both sides of our families for over 100 years. The farm that we operate today has been in Chris' family since 1880. Our two young sons, Carter and Cooper, are the sixth generation to live on this land. We love to work and play off of the land and are proud to pass on our agricultural heritage to our sons.
We attend Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren where we are involved in many different ministries. We also serve as board members for Adams County Farm Bureau and are the chairmen for the Adams County Young Farmers.
