bonfires & picnic areas

Looking to enjoy time with friends or family? Want a spot to enjoy a picnic lunch or to cook hot dogs or roast marshmallows over a fire? Look no further!

L&A Family Farms has several bonfire/picnic areas ready to serve you whether you're looking for a convenient spot close to our fall activities or a more secluded location in our woods that will make you think you’re in a state park. Each area comes with two tables, fire pit, firewood, and a trash can. Please bring your own chairs for sitting around the fire. Additional tables can be requested for $10 per table. We'll also start the fire for you. Please don't litter in the sites.

If you're looking to request a site same-day, please call us at (217)-275-3491 to ensure we get your request and can check for availability.

Email lafamilyfarms@gmail.com with any questions.

WANTING SOMETHING MORE PRIVATE?

If your group would like to have a more private experience at L&A Family Farms please consider visiting the farm Monday – Thursday daytimes or evenings. We will try to arrange for your group’s specific needs.

Here are some of the options you can choose from:

  • Corn Maze

  • Flashlight Night in Corn Maze

  • Hayride

  • Farm Tour

  • Lock Box Challenge(s)

  • Yard Games

  • Pumpkin Patch - Pumpkin picking is allowed, but not included in the price.  Pumpkins are sold per pound.

  • Free Bonfire

These are also the days we schedule school field trips and farm tours, so please email us and we can discuss dates and times. Booking ahead of time helps us plan out our week and locks you in a time slot. Once your date and time has been approved, you will be asked to place your reservation online.  This way you will be able to reserve your preferred bonfire site.

In the event of rain or severe weather your outing may be cancelled and refunded or rescheduled for another time.

If your group wants to visit during the weekend for all of the activities we have group packages for that also.

We look forward to seeing you.
