Plan a Fall Family Trip from Rockford to Visit Us

Looking for fall family activities near Rockford? The drive alone is worth it. Selmi's is about 50 miles southwest, a scenic hour down IL-2 that follows the Rock River through Oregon and Dixon and right out to the farm. Families from Rockford and nearby Loves Park, Machesney Park, Belvidere, and Byron have folded us into their fall for years.

We're a family farm, four generations in, and we do fall the old way. Trade the city for a slower Saturday, make the drive once, and an afternoon here, the corn maze, the pumpkin patch, the orchard, and everything in between, has a way of becoming the thing your family does every October.

Where Memories Last a Lifetime

Where Fall Feels Like Home

For a lot of Rockford families, the drive down IL-2 is half the tradition, the river on one side and the kids asking if we're there yet. Then comes the farm, and the kind of afternoon they'll still be talking about at Thanksgiving. That's what Selmi's is, a place where one afternoon turns into a memory and a memory turns into a tradition you keep.

 

We keep admission affordable on purpose, usually under $15, because a day worth remembering should be within reach for every family. An hour down the river, and you're part of it.

A Few Things to Know Before You Make the Trip from Rockford

Welcome to Selmi's Family Farm FAQ section, your go-to source for all things maze-ing and apple-licious! Here are a few things families like to know before they visit us.

  • Selmi's, about 50 miles southwest in Rock Falls, has a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, an apple orchard, Mt. Selmi, a petting zoo, a jumping pillow, and cider donuts, all on one family farm.

  • About 50 miles, or roughly an hour southwest on IL-2, a scenic drive down the Rock River through Oregon and Dixon. Families come to us from Rockford and nearby Loves Park, Machesney Park, Belvidere, and Byron.

  • Yes. Selmi's has both on the same farm, along with a two-mile corn maze, so one trip covers the whole fall day.

  • It is. We keep admission usually under $15. Pumpkins are priced one by one, so just check the signs by the color-dot pricing.

  • Through the fall season, September into October, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Check Beyonk for U-Pick dates and tickets.
