Fall is right around the corner, and here on the farm, that means… corn maze season! We couldn’t dream up a better theme than what the maze wizards have chosen: IMAGINE. This year’s design is a tribute to John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and many other musical legends of what was considered to be one of the most influential years in music history. While the design nods to the 1971 release of the song “Imagine,” it is a celebration of imagination in all its forms. We invite you to explore your imagination through the lens of great artists, leaders, and dreamers as you wind and wander through 8 acres of whimsy and wonder.
Mike’s Maze will be opening on Friday, September 10th! Visitors to the maze will encounter activities, games, and amusements to entertain the entire family while enjoying gorgeous views of the New England foliage. While you’re here, you can take part in a variety of attractions: ride on a horse drawn wagon, fire the mighty potato cannons, pick out your own Halloween pumpkin, and stay for lunch at the Corn Café, serving farm fresh food all day. Hope to see you there!
