Schartner Farm — Attraction in Bolton

Their corn maze is really cool! In 2025, they had really wide paths and the corn was super healthy and tall. Pretty remarkable with the drought we've had this year. That said, the paths were one big dust bowl :) With the maze pass, they also offer a free hayride around the grounds.

I'm giving 4 stars only because we werent given any guidance when we purchased our passes and neither the entrance nor the exit had any signage. They staff were pleasant however and should be noted, though without any direction we kinda dove in blind. I Google'd a photograph to find our way out and easily lapped folks that were in there for a really, really long time (so they said which is why I downloaded a photo). We completed the maze in about 30-40 min and talked to folks whom we encountered, afterward. Those came out the way they went in.

We also did not apple pick. The rates seem reasonable. It is not a huge orchard, but they seemed to have a few varieties to choose from.

There was a music festival happening the day we were there and they had food and beverages to compliment the live music. There was a big turnout!

All in all, worth the trip and...

They do zero pest prevention for their apples; this makes it really hard to pick apples when 85% of their apples are SEVERLY bruised or are hollow because the bugs ate everything inside.... what saves them... their staff is super kind and even were super reasonable when i lost my apple bag in the maze and asked for a replacement. So the people save the quality of this farm... but its not something id go out of my...

What a quintessential New England farm...a modest pumpkin patch, apple orchard and corn maze - it was such a beautiful property for fall activities, even the drive to the orchard took you through the darling town of Bolten, by a vineyard and by some iconic New England scenery. My friends and I purchased a few pumpkins and carved them on premise. We then enjoyed the corn maze which if you scanned the map, you'd notice the method behind the maddness and see the bigger picture...very clever! Overall, a nice little stop off the beaten path and perfect for enjoying the...
