Corn Maze

This year, the corn maze celebrates many years of history on the farm! It is our 30th season of pumpkins! Our beloved Round Barn is 120 years old! AND we are celebrating 6 generations of farming in Dane County as our daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Mitchell, have joined us full-time on the farm. We are working hard to keep the memories going for future generations. As you go through the maze, we hope you can reminisce about old memories made on the farm and create new ones. Thank you for being a part of our farming legacy.
-Theresa, Don, Sarah, & Mitchell

The maze is divided into phases that will accommodate all age groups. The small maze is just the right challenge for the young crowd and provides the perfect controlled maze experience. The LARGE maze consists of two phases so our directionally-challenged guests may take a break or “regroup” mid-way through the maze. Right turns, wrong turns and U-turns, keep going until you find your way out!
