Abbey Farms

Abbey Farms is unique. We are not like the other farms - we like to think that our guest step back in time a few years.... We offer something a little different than the other farms - no Fall season haunting themes, no electronic games, just clean old-fashioned outdoor family and group fun. Be sure to check out our rentals at The Nagel Emporium; our brand new rustic-chic barn!

All of our events are fundraisers for the Monks at Marmion Abbey. All proceeds from Abbey Farms enables the continuation of the various ministries performed by the Monks of Marmion Abbey. Abbey Farms is also almost completely volunteer run! Current Alumni from Marmion High School and parents of currents students all come out to help run our festivals for the monks! Having been in the business of creating family traditions for over 50 years, the Monks pride themselves on providing good ol’fashioned fun for the entire family that won’t break the bank!


Abbey Farms is a non-profit farm run by and for the Monks of Marmion Abbey located in Aurora Illinois started back in 1949. Since the first Christmas tree was planted in 1949, Abbey Farms has transformed into a multi season family-oriented farm. Situated on over 300 acres of beautiful farmland, Abbey Farms is one of the oldest farms open to the public in the area. From monk-grown U-Cut and Precut Christmas trees to the soon to be worlds 2nd largest corn maze (2014) - when it comes old fashioned to family fun, we have it all!
