Schaffer Farm
Discover the charm of rural Texas with a scenic hayride tour through Schaffer Farm’s vast fields. Perfect for a family outing or a farmstead escape, this experience blends outdoor fun with regional harvest traditions.
Schaffer Farm is an 80-acre working property located near Clarendon in the Texas Panhandle. The farm operates as a seasonal destination for visitors seeking open rural landscapes, fresh produce, and simple outdoor experiences. From July through October, Schaffer Farm grows and harvests a variety of vegetables, including corn, okra, and melons, available during the peak seasonal window.
Visitors can choose from two primary experiences: a guided Hayride Tour that showcases the farm’s fields, crops, and wide-open skies, and Campground Rental for self-contained campers seeking overnight access to the property. The Hayride Tour highlights sunrise and sunset views that stretch across the plains, while the Campground Rental offers a quiet place to camp away from city lights for those with self-contained rigs.
Schaffer Farm focuses on straightforward, activity-based visits rather than resort-style amenities. Its location in the Texas Panhandle and its 80-acre footprint provide room for agricultural production and visitor access without dense development. The farm’s seasonal harvest schedule and rural setting are verifiable facts that help visitors plan trips during the July–October window.
Information about Schaffer Farm’s experiences, seasonal availability, and practical details for self-contained campers is available through listings and reservation pages that describe the Hayride Tour and Campground Rental. Visitors are encouraged to review those listings for up-to-date scheduling, booking requirements, and any rules related to camping or farm access. Contact and booking details are provided on The Adventure Collective listing and through the farm’s reservation channels to confirm availability and any visitor guidelines before arrival or questions.
