A hayride and bonfire brings a special camaraderie to any group-singing, playing and talking, or just enjoying a starlit canopy and the open night air. These rides are perfect for family gatherings, birthday parties, office & corporate parties, church groups, boy/girl scouts, fraternities, and sororities.
A Milburn Orchards evening hayride is a leisurely paced hayride through the orchards, plus a large bonfire. We provide the bonfire with an attending employee to keep it going, roasting sticks, and during the fall we even provide two gallons of cider per wagon load of people (mid-Sept-mid Dec).
Enjoy a 15 minute hayride out to your private bonfire site for you and your group. Spend an hour and a half at the fire tended by your hayride driver, and a 15 minute hayride back. Available by reservation only.
In the case of inclement weather, call between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. on the day of your hayride. We will simply try to reschedule your bonfire hayride. Calls must be received between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.for rescheduling instructions or for any refunds to be issued. IF NO CALL IS RECEIVED, WE WILL BE EXPECTING YOU THAT EVENING AND NO REFUND WILL BE ISSUED.

Make sure everyone in your group knows the exact time and date of your hayride. Copy the map or give directions, so no one gets lost. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before scheduled departure time. Late arrivals could get left behind. We have no way of catching the wagon. Park all vehicles in the designated Bonfire parking lot, not the Weekend parking lot. Have your group assemble in the wagon boarding area.
Leave all valuables at home.
Tips for your host hayride driver are accepted and appreciated. They spent the evening away from their warm family to be with you.
Violation of any of the following gives your driver the right to immediately discontinue your ride without a refund:
Evenings can get cool, so wear layered clothing for comfort.
Arriving a bit before your scheduled time ensures easy parking and a relaxed start.
A cozy blanket enhances comfort during the bonfire segment.
Capture the sunset and starry sky with appropriate camera settings ahead of time.
Milburn Orchards has been family-owned since 1920 and has been a staple of local agriculture for over a century.
The orchard employs sustainable farming practices, including integrated pest management and composting, to minimize environmental impact.
Keep comfortable as temperatures drop in the evening.
