Abbey Farms

Abbey Farms

Abbey Farms

Today: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Abbey Farms is a unique agritourism farm in Aurora, Illinois – but we like to think of ourselves as a family fun destination! Abbey Farms has been growing memories for nearly 75 years, with our fall festival and its corn maze, pumpkin patch and outdoor attractions; with our holiday season, with dozens of acres of U-Cut trees and our Christmas store; with our Summer Ramble season and its specialty cafe menu and live music; and, coming soon – our apple orchard, and new winter season activities!It all started in the 1930s when the monks of Marmion Abbey settled here and began growing trees – then opened to the public for the first time in 1949. Abbey Farms is a working, nonprofit farm – and all proceeds benefit the monks and their mission.
