This weekend is the start of autumn. And a farm in Monroe County will have you falling for the season. Especially because the fun is all for a great cause tomorrow.
Cue the fall family fun, Klingel Farms has it all.
From pumpkin picking to pumkin launching, the family-owned and operated farm has been a Poconos staple since 1998. Located off of Old Route 115 in Saylorsburg, it’s sure to get you into the season.
And there’s no better way to say hello to fall than finding your way through a corn maze. The 11-acres stands ready to challenge your sense of direction with this year’s Mazezilla theme “Music To Our Ears.”
The Owner's Son Nathan Pysher says, "It’s all a musical theme so there’s 10 different musical instructions that are cut out into the maze that you can go into find the 10 different stops, as we call it, to punch your punch card."
But this year the farm itself is growing a bit sweeter, despite a devastating loss.
Pysher says, "With Dad passing this year, we wanted to make sure we did what he wanted to do and did his dream."
The family is making sure Stuart Klingel’s vision lives on. Unfortunately he passed away before the bakery was up and running.
Pysher says, "We have the apple cider donuts, we’re making apple pie, pumpkin pie, blueberry pie, a variety of cookies."
The apple cidar donuts are made with Heckman’s local cider. Those at Mazezilla today aren’t surprised they’re flying off the shelves.
Saylorsburg Resident Albert Uliana says, "Oh they were so delicious. It’s very cakey, which I like a cakey donut like that so it hit the spot."
And they’re also continuing Stuart’s legacy of giving back. Tomorrow night you can experience all of Mazezilla’s activities with all of the proceeds going to a great cause.
Pysher says, "100 percent to the Olsen Christmas Wish. So then they get families in need who can’t have a Christmas or if they can’t make their rent."
Olsen Christmas Wish night is from 5 to 9. And it’ll cost just $14 for all of the attractions. If you can’t make it out then, Mazezilla will be open Friday through Sunday all autumn in Monroe County.
