Otter Berry Farm Announces Major Upgrades, Prepares for Popular Fall Events

Otterberry

PERHAM, Minn. (KWAD) — Otter Berry Farm is gearing up for its biggest fall season yet, unveiling major renovations and upgrades just in time for the 2025 harvest festivities.

The farm has added a brand-new 3-acre parking lot, introduced new games and activities, and welcomed several new farm animals — including what they call “the baddest goat in the world.” Visitors can also expect a little kids’ bale maze, more than 50 varieties of pumpkins, and a full-menu food truck throughout the season.

The centerpiece attraction, the 2025 Corn Maze themed “FALL for FUN,” opens alongside the pumpkin patch on September 13 and runs through October 26. Regular hours are Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m., with additional night maze events and MEA Break extended hours. Guests can navigate the maze using a traditional paper map or an interactive phone app to compete with friends.

Before the regular season begins, the farm will host its 3rd annual “Micros in the Maze” event on September 6 — an adults-only microbrew tasting and live music night inside the corn maze. The event will feature samples from craft breweries, the Dang That’s Good food truck, a full bar from the New York Mills Lions Club, and music from the Bad Decisions Band. Organizers warn tickets are selling quickly and may sell out before the gate opens.

Otter Berry Farm is located just southeast of Perham off Highway 10. For more information, tickets, and directions, visit otterberryfarm.com or call the 24-hour “BerryLine” at 218-346-5034.
