Business ProfileforKuipers Family Farm

Visit our 230 acre entertainment farm located just west of Chicago in rural Maple Park. This unique Midwest farm is located on both sides of a country road, offering customers an apple orchard and Christmas tree farm experience on the east side and a good, old-fashioned farm experience complete with pumpkin harvest on the west side! The season begins each mid August when the orchard opens for apple picking. Each Saturday and Sunday thru October customers can pick their own fresh, crisp apples right from the tree, while the aroma of fresh apple cider doughnuts, home-baked pies, fudge, fresh-pressed apple cider and hand-spun caramel apples from The Orchard Shop and Bakery lingers in the air. Browse the many specialty food and gift items in our huge old-fashioned market. September the west side of the farm opens for some down-on-the-farm-fun like The Maize Corn Maze: 5 acres of Illinois corn now boasts over 2 miles of twists, turns and clues. Stop by the Pumpkin Farm for hayrides, farm animals, a haunted forest, tractor tire mountain, peddle tractor derby, nature walk, jumping pillow, pumpkin picking and much more. Weekends and holidays you can watch the Pig Races every hour at Squeelington Park. Unique fall decorations available for your home from The Barn Store. Stop by The Corncrib Café for a taste of the country. November and December at the farm is dedicated to the holidays with pies and specialty foods for entertaining, unique gifts for giving and of course, Christmas trees. Select from Fraser Firs and Scotch Pines. Choose and cut your own or select from our freshly harvested trees. From November through August each year couples choose the Orchard to host their signature rustic-chic wedding.
