Christmas on the Farm
Welcome to Christmas on the Farm at Rader Family Farms! 
We can’t wait to celebrate the joy of the season with you during Christmas on the Farm — an evening full of twinkling lights, cozy treats, festive music, and family fun! Here’s what you need to know before your visit:
Parking & Arrival
Parking is included with your admission, and our friendly parking attendants will guide you to the south side of the lot.
Follow the signs from the lot to our Orchard Barn Check-In — your first stop for a night of Christmas magic!
Check-In at the Orchard Barn (OB)
Present your digital ticket for scanning.
Each guest will receive a raffle ticket redeemable for a free cup of hot chocolate at the Schoolhouse — courtesy of our friends at Bank of Pontiac!
Once you’ve checked in, hop on the Jingle Bell Tram and follow the lighted path of fun through the farm.
The Experience
Your Christmas adventure flows through these stops:
Parking → Orchard Barn → Tram → Activities Path → Schoolhouse → Little Village → Brew & Retail
Look for festive signs and decorations guiding your way — from our “Welcome to Christmas on the Farm” entrance to the red, white, and blue arch honoring our troops.
Don’t forget to drop off a toy at our Toys for Tots Collection Boxes — thank you for helping us share the joy!
