One of the area\u2019s most popular fall events is returning later this month, with a new twist. Harvest Days at Olde Stone Farm in Williams Township has become Harvest Nights, with nearly all of the same family-friendly activities that have made it popular in place.<\/p>\n
Farm owners Amy and Jim Koch said the decision to move the event from the daytime to evenings Friday and Saturday was partly motivated by the fact that fall days are busy for many families, especially if kids participate in seasonal athletics or other extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n
The farm\u2019s popular corn maze, which is custom-cut by Jim each year, will now be a flashlight corn maze with photo opportunities spread throughout it. There will be moonlight hayrides each evening, weather permitting, and the farm is adding fire pits for warmth and ambience.<\/p>\n
Moving the event to evenings will also keep it comfortable for guests, Amy Koch said, since Harvest Days in the past have often been hot.<\/p>\n
Food trucks will be on site while Harvest Nights is open, with Ridge Runner BBQ, Clam Jam Boil & BBQ, Dinky\u2019s and Grateful Dogs included in this year\u2019s lineup. As always, Williams Township Fire Co. (with Easton Wine Project) will also be on site to host a pizza fundraiser one night (Friday, Oct. 9).<\/p>\n
Other highlights of this year\u2019s Harvest Nights event include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Mini Highland cattle from Deranged Ranch
\u2022 Cornhole as part of a games area
\u2022 S\u2019mores
\u2022 Pumpkins for sale
\u2022 Local honey, cider and baked goods for sale
\u2022 Jack-o-lantern straw maze for little ones
\u2022 Face painting by Truly Enchanted
\u2022 Vintage tractors on display<\/p>\n
The event is fall-themed rather than spooky, so it\u2019s appropriate for all ages, and there is ample parking along with restrooms on site.<\/p>\n
Harvest Nights will have a different layout with additional lighting and a permanent structure for ticket sales, along with plenty of outdoor seating inside for guests who need it.<\/p>\n
The Kochs first opened Harvest Days in the fall of 2021, as area residents began to enjoy seasonal events again in the wake of the pandemic. Their goal has always been to make it a family-friendly event that welcomes both locals and visitors from the Lehigh Valley and beyond.<\/p>\n
Harvest Nights will open for the season on Friday, Sept. 25 and be open Fridays and Saturdays from 5 to 9 p.m. through Saturday, Oct. 31.<\/p>\n
Olde Stone Farm is located at 1350 Raubsville Road, Easton, PA, and is a 10 to 15 minute drive from the Saucon Valley and Bethlehem areas.<\/p>\n
