Riehm Farm hosting weekend farm fun

Riehm Produce Farm, 7244 N. SR 53, is hosting its annual Barnyard Fun Weekends beginning Saturday and continuing through Oct. 31. John, Diane and Phil Riehm and staff invite all ages to create fall memories by visiting the farm to explore, race, slide and play by taking part in 12 activities. This year, the farm features its annual corn maze honoring The Ohio State University's 150th anniversary. The maze takes 10-45 minutes to complete, depending on how much time participants take to answer the trivia questions along the way. In addition, the weekends offer pig races, a goat walk, "milk-a-cow," duck races, giant slide, wagon ball, steer roping, checkers and giant games. A hayride takes visitors on a ride to the back hay field where the pumpkin cannon is operating, and all ages can take a shot at launching vegetables - the ones that would be thrown away - at numbered targets. Also, visitors can take home purchases from the pumpkin patch, cider, apple dumplings and kettle corn. The staff plans to wear face masks for safety, and asks visitors to wear face coverings as well where 6-foot distancing cannot be maintained. Hours are noon-7 p.m. Saturdays and noon-6 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $10 per person. Children ages 2 and younger and free. Discounts are available for groups. For more information, call (419) 992-4392 or visit funacres.net.
