Thornwell Welcomes Community to the Annual LushAcres Farm Festival and Corn Maze

Thornwell, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving children and families in need across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, invites the community to LushAcres Farm for our annual Fall Festival and Corn Maze! Although this year’s festival began a little differently with a Community Day on October 5th, it gave neighbors the perfect chance to enjoy a day of fun with friends and family. From the playground and barnyard animals to the U-Pick pumpkin patch, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We’re excited for the upcoming weekends October 12th, 19th, and 26th that will be filled with more activities, laughter, and cherished family memories that will last a lifetime!

Our fall festival will continue every Saturday in October from 10am until 5pm. Each event’s proceeds will support children and families served by Thornwell’s continuum of care.
Fall Festival attendees enjoy the mile-long maze, hayrides, gem mining, bouncy jump pad, a mini train, concessions, and much more. Corn cannons are back, and we have new fried apple pies and the oh-so-popular, fresh, delicious donuts!

This year we have individual, group, and season pass tickets!

LushAcres Farm is working to add new festivals to its calendar each year celebrating seasonal produce and activities to blend agriculture with family fun that supports Thornwell’s ongoing mission. Throughout the year, LushAcres Farm is an agrotourism hub featuring locally grown products and livestock, as well as family-focused opportunities and agritourism events. The LushAcres Farm Market offers farm fresh produce, as well as locally sourced goods.

“When families come to a festival, buy a locally sourced product in our market, or visit our barnyard animals, they are creating lasting memories and traditions, as well as ensuring the children and families Thornwell serves are supported and loved,” said Koch. “Getting to be a part of that legacy is something special.”
