11/01/08- Our Naperville and Plainfield locations are now closed until next spring. Our Oswego farm location will be open today from 12-5pm only for a special fundraising event. Tickets are still available!! There will be our petting farm, wagon rides, corn maze, food, music, games, bake sale, raffles, and more!! It's going to be a gorgeous Fall day so bring your family out for some fun!! This will be the last chance to try our beautiful, challenging 14-acre corn maze before it is harvested!!
10/20/08-Yes- another busy weekend at the Oswego farm!! I was so proud of the girl scouts and boy scouts that came to do the maze- so much fun and so well-behaved!!!! It's always a treat to see so many families helping each other figure out the maze puzzles and having a good time just being together. We had wonderful weather- just chilly enough to make searching 28 acres of pumpkins a nice journey. We look forward to seeing more of you this weekend- our last weekend open for 2008!
10/15/08-We had such a fun 3-day weekend at the Oswego farm! I was amazed every day at the huge pumpkins people were finding in our pumpkin field- and more amazed that they were able to pick them up and get them into a wheelbarrow!!! I think that must be our last weekend of 80 degree weather for awhile! People were smart and brought water bottles for the hiking ahead of them in our 14-acre corn maze. Congratulations to the many families who were able to solve all three puzzles and keep smiling through the heat!! We will have the corn maze, petting farm, wagon rides, etc. open for just 2 more weekends. The Oswego farmstand and pumpking patch are open daily until Halloween. A warm welcome goes out to all of the schools coming for field trips to the farm this week!!
10/06/08- Special thanks to "Kids Matter" organization of Naperville for their fun event at the Oswego Keller's Corn Maze yesterday! *Feel free to call the Corn Maze to check on weather conditions- we only had 15 minutes of light rain yesterday and ended up sunny and beautiful. Don't forget that we will be open Sat/Sun/Columbus Day Monday this coming weekend from 9am-5pm. Many huge, gorgeous pumpkins are being found daily in our big pick-your-own pumpkin patch on the Oswego Farm. The patch is open every day!! A special invitation goes out to Dean Chaimpas to come out to the farm to see what we do!!
10/01/08- Happy October! Just a reminder that we will be closing for the season on Friday, October 31st. Make sure to stock up on your favorite jams/salsas/pickles/soups/local honey, etc. while we still have it in!!
9/23/08- What a great opening weekend for the corn maze! I want to thank all of the people who came out and made it such a fun time. The maze was a little sticky in the morning until the warm sun dried up the paths. Everyone's shoes survived!!
9/18/08- We're still evaluating the safety conditions of the Oswego Corn Maze. Hopefully we will open Saturday 9/20/08 as scheduled. *Note, the Bread Lady will be in Naperville on Saturday 9/20 starting at 10:30am.
9/12/08- Boy, it looks like we might be getting a whole lot more rain this weekend. The Oswego Corn Maze will not be open for safety reasons- there is already standing water out there and the weatherman is saying possibly 8 more inches of rain could fall. Keep checking back to see if we can dry out by next weekend!
9/09/08- Our farmstands are looking more Fall-like every day. Pansies are arriving this week, as are a few pumpkins and gourds to start your decorating with. Don't forget our Oswego Corn Maze and Fall activities start this weekend!!
8/31/08- We are still accepting job applications for Fall for the Oswego Corn Maze. *Naperville's Bread Lady will not be selling bread on Saturday, September 6th. She will be available the day before from 10am until she runs out. She'll be back to Saturdays the next weekend-Sept. 13th.
8/19/08- Job opportunities available for Fall- see our "Corn Maze" page!!!!
8/14/08-Our Oswego farmstand is up and running!! Come on out and see where we grow the vegetables! Aerial photos have been taken of our new 2008 cornmaze and will be posted soon on the "Corn Maze " page. I can't believe all my college-age employees are leaving for college this week. You will be greatly missed!!
7/30/08- We are getting ready to open our Oswego farmstand on our farm! We will be open starting Friday, August 1st at 9am. We will begin rather basic with just fresh vegetables, fruits, and gourmet food items (no farm activities yet). Many extras will begin in September & October on weekends when the corn maze, pumpkin patch, and petting farm are under way!!!
7/15/08-Sweet corn started today!!!!!!!!! This is very exciting- we get ten phone calls a day asking when it is coming! Sweet corn's arrival also brings the opening of the Plainfield farmstand- 1st day Wednesday July 16th! Click on the "Vegetable" tab for updates and current harvests!!
