What is Staheli Family Farm?
Staheli Family Farm is a working family farm at 3400 S Washington Fields Rd in Washington, Utah, farmed by the same family since 1892. On about 40 acres it grows crops and raises beef cattle, and it opens to visitors for seasonal events, including a fall corn maze, pumpkin patch and the Field of Screams haunted attraction.
The farm traces its start to Swiss immigrants who settled in the Washington Fields in 1892, and the barns, the silo and the fields are still part of a working operation. According to its FAQ, the farm grows corn, pumpkins, hay, vegetables and livestock feed and raises commercial beef cattle. Tens of thousands of people visit each year, most of them in the fall. You may see it called Staheli Farm or Staheli Family Farms; they are the same place. SGWOM is an independent guide and is not affiliated with the farm.

The Silo, Grit + Grind coffee and farm beef
The silo, built in the 1960s, is now the farm store, called the Silo, and in the winter season it sells holiday gifts. For food, the farm lists Grit + Grind Coffee (espresso, cold brew, smoothies and acai bowls), a bakery, Burger Stop Grill, the Feed Lot, a pizza stand, the Get Fried truck and a lemonade stand, plus kettle corn in the fall. The farm sells its own locally raised beef online through Barn2Door, linked as Buy Beef on its website.
Tips for visiting
- Pick your time by age: young kids get the most out of a Friday or Saturday afternoon, when the farmland is open from noon and it's still light. Teens and adults usually come for Field of Screams after 7 p.m.
- Wear closed-toe shoes: much of the farm is dirt paths and grass, so leave sandals at home. Bring a layer for October evenings.
- Strollers work, mostly: they are allowed, but some ground is uneven or unpaved.
- Leave the dog at home: only ADA service animals are allowed.
- Buy ahead: tickets are sold online by date, and Field of Screams runs on select nights only.
- Check before you drive: the farm closes for mud and weather and posts it on its hours page.
