Moulton Farm Corn Maze Timeline

           We are very proud of our corn maze here at Moulton Farm. A lot of time and effort is put into it for the enjoyment of everyone who visits the farm. Here are some answers to the many questions we get about the corn maze.

  1. The corn maze is planted around mid June every year (depending on the weather). It takes about 6 hours to plant.
  2. The field is planted in both directions to create a grid.
  3. An outline of the field is drawn on graph paper (20 pieces taped together). Each line on the graph paper represents 1 row of corn.
  4. The maze is then designed by hand inside the field outline on the graph paper. This process alone takes 1-2 days.
  5. When the corn is between 8-12 inches tall the paths are cut out using a trimmer and following the giant graph paper map very carefully (it’s a lot of counting). Cutting the paths takes 2-3 people about 2 days to complete.
  6. After the paths are cut, a small tractor and rota-tiller is sent through the maze to make sure the paths have no corn in them. This takes a full day to complete.
  7. The paths are then compacted and the rocks are removed in order to make the terrain as safe as possible for its travelers.
  8. As the corn grows we will strip the leaves off of the stalks that line the paths to make it easier to see and safer to travel.
  9. The corn in the maze can grow up to 15 feet tall
  10. We do not harvest any of the corn in the maze. We use a feed corn (cow corn) which is edible but is not very tasty.

We hope that you enjoyed learning a little more about how the Moulton Farm corn maze is created. Have fun and good luck!
