Description
SPRING GROVE — Richardson Farm celebrates 20 years of A-Maze-ing this fall, with opening weekend set for Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 11-12.
Billed as the “World’s Largest Corn Maze,” this year’s design celebrates all of the fun activities that go on at the farm located at 909 English Prairie Road, Spring Grove. The maze features a 9-mile trail wending through 28 acres of corn. Visitors can choose to make their way through any or all of four smaller maze segments, each with its own in-and-out, said Robert Richardson, co-owner of the farm along with other family members, including his brother, George.
“The upper left corner of the maze depicts our 50-foot-tall viewing tower and zip line while other portions feature the barn and gift shop, pumpkin patch, tulips, sunflowers, Christmas trees, our train for kids to enjoy and, of course, corn,” George Richardson said. “It’s a celebration of all of the fun activities we started with and those we have developed over the years, like our new tulip and sunflower fests.”
The maze was designed and planted by Shawn Stolworthy of Idaho-based MazePlay. The paths are freshly rototilled and ready for explorers, said Ryan Richardson, George’s son and a member of the sixth generation on the farm.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors back and to celebrating 20 years of fun on our farm with fans new and old,” he added.
