Long Acre Farms

What Long Acre Farms does

Long Acre Farms is a 4th generation family-owned agritourism business operating from a single property at 1342 Eddy Rd in Macedon, NY. Founded as a farm stand in 1993, it has evolved into a diversified entertainment destination centered on the Amazing Maize Maze (New York's longest running corn maze since 1998), the Back 40 adventure play area with 15+ attractions, the on-site JD Wine Cellars winery, the Sweet Cone Shop ice cream outlet, and the Farm Market retail store. The core customer is families with children, supplemented by school groups (ages 4–7 dairy tours; grades 4+ maze team building), corporate clients (events of 20–750 attendees), private event hosts (weddings, birthdays, showers), and adults 21+ (Wine Wednesdays, trivia, murder mystery dinners). It hosts recurring signature programming — Music on the Lawn, Wine Wednesdays, Fall Festival Weekends, Moonlight Maze, Trivia Nights, Book Fair for Adults, and seasonal classes — and partners with the Lake Ontario Wine Trail, local artisans, musicians, and vendors like Dar's Delights and Upstate Farms.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and physically anchored: revenue is generated through per-attraction admissions (Back 40 at $10–$24, fall festival tickets at $14–$29, Moonlight Maze at $19–$27), food and beverage (wood-fired pizzas, hard and soft-serve ice cream, wine flights, slushies, craft cocktails), event venue rentals and in-house catering (Terrapin Station, White House, from 10 to 600+ guests), retail (farm market, ice cream cakes, gemstone panning bags priced $6–$45), and a subscription $50 Season Pass valid May–October. Pricing is tiered by age, season, and group size; corporate and wedding events are quoted on a custom basis. Distribution is exclusively through the physical farm location plus a small set of online ticketing platforms (TicketSpice, TicketTailor, Eventbrite, BuyTickets) and email/Instagram/Facebook marketing. There is no proprietary technology stack, no e-commerce delivery, and no external capital — the operation is fully family-funded and operated with approximately 8 employees and a curated network of third-party vendors and instructors.
