Join us this fall!

Join us at the Back Forty Beef Adventure Farm for family-friendly fun! Get up close with farm animals, play family-friendly games, jump into the corn box, crawl through the hay tunnel, have unique picture-taking opportunities, and dine at local food trucks. Explore the 12-acre corn maze, visit checkpoints, and collect special offers from area businesses.

After all the playing is done, stop by our farm shop on the way out to purchase some of our homegrown beef, pumpkins, and gourds from area growers, Stensland Ice-cream, and so much more from other local vendors.

We are closed for the season. Come visit us Fall 2024!

Introducing the corn maze!

Sponsored in part by the South Dakota Beef Industry Council, the “Beef Experience Corn Maze” features 12 acres of twisting, turning corn fun. Use your phone (we have paper maps too 😉) to navigate the maze and “check in” at check points. Earn rewards from local businesses at the checkpoints and learn more about beef from our fast facts through-out.

come back next year!

Thank you everyone for all the support this season. Despite all the weekend rains we dealt with this year, we were blown away by the amount of support our first year and cannot wait to come back with more fun, games, activities, and a new maze the fall of 2024! - Clint, Kelly, Jaycee and Kylie
