Each year, the farm has a military-themed corn maze, and this year's 7-acre version depicts the workhorse of the Vietnam War, the Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, better known as the Huey. The farm has a special connection to the Huey - learn more in this YouTube video - and the corn maze is open Wednesday through Friday for Preview Days, where admission is by a donation that goes to charity assisting homeless veterans. Then Saturday and Sunday the maze officially opens with Bring Your Hero Days, where any youth ages 12 & under can bring their police officer, EMT or firefighter family member for free, with their own paid admission. (All Veterans are always free, so a youth accompanying a veteran will get in free!)
