Anawan Farm Candy Cane Night Time Hayride

Q & A's...

​

WHAT KIND OF RIDE IS THE CANDY CANE HUNT?

YOU NEED A FLASHLIGHT TO HUNT FOR CANDY CANES WHILE ON THE WAGON. A CELL PHONE FLASHLIGHT WILL NOT WORK.

Time to take a unique trip via tractor drawn wagon. Simple in concept, magical for our younger audience (toddler through elementary age) and also very family friendly. This ride has become a holiday tradition for so many families since its inception in 2020. Santa's elves have hidden tinsel candy canes among the field lines, in our farm stand, and around our farm. You need to count them.

 

While counting our tinsel candy canes on our 20-25minute wagon ride, you will encounter 5 candy cane station stops. Each stop has candy canes and each person is allowed one candy cane per person per stop. There is a surprise flavor at each stop because on our farm, no two candy cane stops are the same.

​

S'MORES BY THE FIRE 2024 WILL ONLY BE OFFERED ADDITIONALLY TO RIDES IF THE DROUGHT IS LIFTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WILDFIRES IN REHOBOTH THIS SEASON. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS STRESSED NO USAGE OF FIRE PITS OR BURNING OF ANY KIND :

• This is an option we add every year to our night time candy cane wagon rides.

• It is an extra stop, making the total time for the ride and s'mores approximately 1hour.

• Our gourmet S'mores kits will be sold as individual servings this year. We need to keep our price reasonable for our customers. S'mores kits come with one Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, 1 Kit-Kat, 1 Hershey Bar, 1 super duper large campfire marshmallow, graham crackers and an extra long roasting stick. 

​

WHEN ARE S'MORES OFFERED?

• PLEASE CALL AHEAD BEFORE YOUR VISIT TO VERIFY IF S'MORES BY THE FIRE IS HAPPENING OR CHECK OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. We offer S'mores during NIGHT rides only. 

• We do not hold S'mores by the fire pit: when it rains or when the temperature and/or windchill dips below 32degrees, or as of this year when the fire department asks not to hold fires due to major drought. 

​​

WHEN CAN I PURCHASE THE S'MORES KITS?

• IF s'mores are being held upon the night of your arrival, you can purchase the s'mores kits upon arrival. This is why we ask that you arrive for your ride about 10min ahead of time. Kits will still be available for purchase to take home.
