How it all began.
In 2000, we created the "Get Lost Corn Maze". We cut a giant puzzle into one of our corn fields and opened it to the public. The 2000 corn maze was created in a corn field that was a little under 3 acres. It was designed in the shape of a jack-o-lantern. There were over a mile of twisting, turning and CORNfusing paths in the maze. No need to worry about finding your way out because "King Corn" sat in a 20 foot tower waiting to assist wayward maze guests. Wow, what an awesome adventure! Not only did people come out and get lost, but they left wandering just how they got out. It's a great way to spend a fall evening. Hopefully you will leave with a little better understanding of how agriculture is an important part of ALL of our lives.
