Our All New 2011 Corn Maze is

“CELEBRATE 250 YEARS!”

We have the largest Corn Maze in Vermont & this year it’s all about celebrating our town’s 250th birthday! Come find your way through 12 acres of corn & miles of paths & solve our “CELEBRATE 250 YEARS!” maze! Don’t worry, we have Early Exits available so you can “escape” here & there if you need to. As always there will be some CLUES scattered throughout the maze, although we admit, they’re not always as helpful as you might like! And then of course we have our infamous 8 PUNCHES to find. If you are not familiar with these, all 8 hole punches are different shapes & you can try & find all of them & punch your card while solving the maze. If you do, you’ll be eligible for a raffle drawing at the end of the year.

All New for This Year

Byron is a farmer at heart, but he put his carpenter belt on this spring & built us some brand new BEAUTIFUL bridges for the maze. One of them is a 4-way design bridge which brings a whole new dimension to solving the maze! So many choices to make both over & under! Between my design & his bridges, we do our best to have ya lost…laughin’…& LOVIN’ IT!!!

Another new feature we have this year in the maze is our “text trivia”. Since texting is the thing these days, we figured out a way to incorporate it into a maze feature. If you happen to find a trivia question in the maze (most have to do with corn) & you don’t know the answer or want to check to see if what you ”think” it is, is the RIGHT answer, you can text to a number & find out! How cool is that??? If you want to see kind of how it works, text hathawayfarm to 368266 right now & see what you can find out about us!

We also have a  SUPER AMAZING NEW GAME in the maze this year called the  ”Celebrate 250 Years!” Scavenger Hunt. We are thrilled to have put this together for our maze this year! This is how it works………When you check in, you get a map of the corn maze that has 25 numbers on it in different locations in the maze (it is folded over so if you don’t want to see it till after you “solve” the maze that’s OK). The idea is to find the 5 locations in the maze where there is a picture of Rutland Town’s 250th Logo & mark it off on your paper as to what number location it is in the maze. If you find all 5 & mark them in the correct locations, you can enter for a drawing where we give away a Rutland Town 250th T-Shirt once a week! How are your map reading skills???

In the barn we have a DVD playing of  Memories of Rutland Town. This stars some of our town seniors sharing stories of their youth back in the day in Rutland Town. These DVD’s are also available for sale.

The “grassy meadow” is in the maze again this year SOMEWHERE, with Adirondack chairs to sit down, relax & enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. We have bridges inside the maze that may be helpful or may be not, but when you are up on a bridge, you can enjoy the views from there & try to get a handle on where you are.

On Saturday nights during Moonlight Madness, viewing the night sky is breathtaking from on top of a bridge in the middle of a cornfield in Vermont! Moonlight Madness is EVERY Saturday night when we stay open & allow admission until 9:00pm. Also new this year, we have a FIRE PIT so you’ll have to check that out!   Click here to learn more…

Mini-Maze
This is a much shorter adventure designed for toddlers & young folks to have fun exploring paths & finding their way through a smaller atmosphere than the big maze.  This year we have the Balloon Farmer story walk that you can read as you go through the maze.  Click here to learn more…

We have a few simple RULES for the Maze.

  • STAY ON THE PATHS. Although you may not realize it, cutting through the corn ruins the maze & we cannot repair corn. (WE don’t even cut through the corn……ever!)
  • NO SMOKING, No Alcohol, No pets
  • Do not pick, knock down, throw or “mess” with the corn
  • Children & adults need to stay together at all times
  • No running & please be respectful of others

We have a NO TOLERANCE policy that we stick to for everyone’s safety & enjoyment. If we feel your behavior on the Farm is unacceptable, we ask you to leave. We do not give warnings. We do not give refunds.
