Moulton Farm to open two corn mazes on Friday

MEREDITH — Moulton Farm will open two corn mazes on Friday, Sept. 19 along with its annual pumpkin patch. This year, the farm is adding a child-sized maze to its regular lineup.

“In our full size maze, the corn towers over adults,” said Wes Thomas, who has designed the farm’s corn maze for 18 years. “The children’s maze is much smaller, and the corn is only about three-feet high.  This makes it easy for adults to see where their kids are and less disorienting for the kids.”

For this year’s full-sized maze, he used the farm’s name and cornucopia logo as inspiration. 

“It’s got curves, dead ends, will have you turning in circles, and getting thoroughly confused about what direction to go,” said Thomas. “But there’s more to the design than thata For all of us who work at the farm, our logo is far more than just a sign at the end of Quarry Road and what we wear on our shirts. It’s the symbol of all of us working together to grow great tasting food and provide good customer service to the people who visit and support our farm.”

Both of Moulton Farm’s corn mazes open Friday and runs through Sunday, Nov. 2. Visitors can also enjoy pumpkin hunting, either in the farm’s “pick your own” pumpkin patch or from among the many pre-picked pumpkins grown at the farm, and there are other reasons to visit. Wagon rides will be on most weekends. Live music is also happening most Saturdays and Sundays. Fall displays, games, and goats will make for good pictures, and the farm’s garden center will feature items to use for decorating.
