Take a Virtual Tour of Ramseyer Farms’ Agritourism Business

By Carol Miller|December 6, 2023

Dennis and Karen Ramseyer both grew up on farms. When they began talking about having an agritourism business on their generational, century farm, they wanted to share the fun they had as children. They also wanted to keep the experience based in agriculture, so the attractions never stray far from that core goal. Here are few ideas at the popular Wooster, OH-based attraction.

The Corn Barn

The Ramseyers shared childhood memories of playing in silos instead of sand pits. So they recreated that memory for their guests on a large scale. Experience has taught the Ramseyers they need to lay down a few guidelines to keep their guests safe. A large sign hangs overhead stating the Corn Barn Rules.

Target Shooting

Guests get to try out their aiming skills on a potato shooter. Like a golf driving range, signs indicate distance, with a bit of humor thrown in with the backsides of farm animals.

Lots of Mazes

Ramseyer Farms boasts several mazes, including two multi acre corn mazes and a few smaller mazes geared to younger children, like the one shown here.

Tractor Pull

Calling all strong men (and kids)! How big a tractor can you get to move with just a rope?

Welcome to Bunnyville

It's a universal fact: Kids love animals. Ramseyer caters to its guests by having bunnies and goats. And the bunnies get to live in a charming village.

Goat's Playground

Guests can feed goats in a couple different ways. This feeder swings over from the fence to the truck window.

Great Photo Op

Another way guests can feed goats is by hand. And this encourages the goats to poke their heads through a fun photo board. Behind the panel are two levels for the goats to stand on -- the ground and a platform.

Climbing Goats

Goats like to explore, so the Ramseyers created an enclosure with a bridge made from farm equipment, different enclosures and places to shelter.

Outdoor Food Area

While Ramseyer has a couple food trucks of their own, they welcome area food vendors to set up shop. One prime spot is the big entry alley, which has nearby tables and games.

Slides Galore

There are several slides, each geared for different age groups. This one, the Country Coaster, caters to speed junkies and offers a high vantage point for the entire area at the top.

Soft Landing

Not all kids are up for fast slides. These slides empty into corn pits. The roof keeps the corn dry.

A-Maze-ing Fun Time

One of the large corn mazes changes patterns every year. The Ramseyers hang framed photos of each one. And the wood for the frame? It’s from the family’s original barn, adding a layer of significance to the photos.
