A lantern-lit walk through Churchville Cemetery and Fischer Woods back to the farm follows for tours and local ghost stories. Guests can share spooky stories around the fire with hot cider and s’mores. NOTE: Age 14+ only. Participants must be able to traverse uneven terrain in low light and sign a waiver.
