The Corn Maze Craze

Who would have thought when Fort Vannoy Farms was in the early stages of dairy farming that one day many people would be coming to enjoy the farm life on a fall weekend? Well, now Fort Vannoy Farms offers the amazing Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch weekends from mid September through the end of October. Something that the Crouse Family didn't expect has grown into a very rewarding harvest celebration for families of the Rogue Valley. The cows are still being milked for the delicious rich milk, and they continue to be fed chop from the fields of corn grown specifically to feed the herd. Now, before the corn reaches the chopping and silage stage, it is a fun place for families to bring their kids and enjoy a day out in the fresh air on the farm!

Farmer Bob is the sculptor of the magnificent mazes each year. The initial pattern for the maze starts within weeks of planting the corn seeds. Farmer Bob has a genius vision for such things. Creating a maze that the older kids love as much as the little kids and their parents has become one of his favorite jobs on the farm. Bring the family out for a day on the farm and enjoy our 2011 Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch! You will also find the Pumpkin Cannon, tractor rides, draft horse hay wagons, petting zoo of some of the farm animals, open air cooked food by our local high school FFA, a Zipline, and many memories for your family to share for many years!
