Located in Yardley, Pennsylvania, Shady Brook Farm is a popular destination for locals and travelers alike. Fall and winter are the most crowded seasons due to the events it offers.

Every weekend in fall, Shady Brook Farm will host its famous FallFest, offering something for all ages. During the day guests can take a wagon out to the pumpkin patch and pick out the perfect one to take home or see if they can find their way out of the corn maze. Other activities include yard games, obstacle courses, carnival-type games, slides and more. The area includes food venues, as well. People 21 and over can enjoy a cold beer, cider, glass of wine or a delicious fall cocktail; there are nonalcoholic drink options as well for the kiddos.

At night the area is still open for a variety of activities. Groups can rent private fire pits to keep warm and roast marshmallows to make the perfect s’mores. All weekend long there will be live performances by local bands.

My parents and I met some family friends at FallFest this past Saturday night for the band and some drinks. Shot of Southern, a country cover band, was playing that night, and I was impressed. They sounded similar to a couple of the famous country singers today. We enjoyed good drinks and fun company.

If you can’t make it during FallFest, make sure to set aside time this winter to visit during the light show. All throughout the farm there are different holiday-themed light fixtures, famous characters and more.
