#TRAX FARMS MARKET MAC#
Food trucks expected throughout festival season include: Pita Pan PGH, Wood Stoked Oven, Mac n Gold, Lone Wolf Grill, Cousins Maine Lobster, Revival Chili, and PGH Crepes. If fair food isn’t your thing, you might be interested in grabbing lunch from one of the food trucks in the festival area.

Wash it all down with an apple cider slush, or a fresh hot or cold apple cider. In the Festival Food building, you can choose from fair staples like corn dogs, funnel cakes, kettle corn, and nachos with cheese, or go for a hometown favorite like kielbasa, pulled pork sandwiches, or pulled pork nachos. The food selection gets even better at the Fall Festival. Trax has a deli, which not all farms stores do, serving up fresh meat and cheese, as well as party platters and cold salads. They also have the farm staples of pies, ciders, breads, butters, and jams. Yes, they have fresh produce, as you would expect. The Trax Farm Market goes above and beyond your typical farm stand.

Most activities require tickets, which can be purchased at the red ticket booth in the main area of the festival, straight back from the entrance.Įven if you can’t make the weekend festival, Trax offers a variety of weekday hayrides like Friday Evening and Columbus Day Hayrides for the family, and Wednesday Nights Hops & Hayrides for the adults!įarms are known for their fresh food and veggies, but Trax has all that and more. If that’s not enough fun for you, there is also live music most weekends from local artists like Nameless in August, Alexis Michele, My So Called 90s Band, Right Turn Clyde, Strange Brew, and students from CalU and School of Rock. There is a selection up on the hill, but you’ll probably find a better one in the pumpkins section of the festival area.
#TRAX FARMS MARKET PATCH#
Fair warning about picking your own patch pumpkins here: most have already been picked and are for sale down in the main festival area. If you’re looking for that authentic Pumpkin Patch experience, you’ll want to take a hayride to the top of the hill where you can get lost in two corn mazes, play an array of lawn games, pick your own pumpkins from the patch, meet a few animals not in the petting zoo (like a baby calf and a baby llama), and take in the view from high above the rest of the farm. For those looking for a more relaxed trip, try a train ride, face painting, the baseball challenge, use the farm tractors and woodcuts to take the perfect picture, or take a stroll through the petting zoo. For the thrill seekers, you can take three rides on the giant slide, hop into the bungee jumper or bounce house, scale the rock wall, and battle your friends and siblings in the land balls. Trax has an abundance of farm-themed and non-farm-themed activities for all ages. The Trax Fall Festival offerings are best described under the headings Fun, Food, and Shopping.
