Join us this fall!

Join us at the Back Forty Beef Adventure Farm for family-friendly fun! Get up close with farm animals, play family-friendly games, jump into the corn box, crawl through the hay tunnel, have unique picture-taking opportunities, and dine at local food trucks. Explore the 12-acre corn maze, visit checkpoints, and collect special offers from area businesses.

After all the playing is done, stop by our farm shop on the way out to purchase some of our homegrown beef, pumpkins, and gourds from area growers, Stensland Ice-cream, and so much more from other local vendors.

The corn maze is closed for the season! Thank you for making 2024 an amazing fall.

Mark your calendar and join us in 2025!

Opening weekend is Sept 6&7. We are open every weekend through October 26.

Now taking bookings for private group adventure farm reservations during the week.

Introducing the 2024 corn maze!


During the 2024 season, we partnered with Channel Seed and Pro Ag Supply to bring an exciting and educational experience. As guests "got lost" in the maze, they discovered messages about corn, pollinators, and farming. Keep an eye out for the images of a corn cob, barn, bee, and flower!

The maze featured 12 acres of twisting, turning corn fun. Use your phone (we have paper maps too 😉) to navigate the maze and “check in” at check points. Earn rewards from local businesses at the checkpoints through-out.

We are closed for the season.

Watch for the 2025 maze design coming this summer!

Guidelines for a safe and enjoyable visit

We want everyone to have a fantastic time at our corn maze! To ensure the safety of all our guests, staff, and animals, and to help us continue offering this event every year, we kindly ask that you follow these guidelines:

  • Admission: Please purchase your admission at the Farm Store.

  • Respect the Maze: Stay on designated paths and avoid creating new ones. Please do not pick or damage the corn stalks or ears of corn.

  • No Smoking: Smoking is not permitted on the farm. If you need to smoke please do so in the driveway then dispose of your bud in the can outside the farm store. We have many flammable objects. On the gravel in the driveway is the ONLY place smoking is allowed.

  • Animal Safety: Do not feed the animals. Please wash your hands after interacting with them.

  • Pets: Our farm dogs venture over to the corn maze from time to time. This is their territory and they are used to running where they like. We ask that you leave your pets at home, unless they are certified service animals. You are welcome to bring your dog during our special Dog Days event date to be announced in 2025.

  • Supervision: Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult while in the maze.

Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your time at the maze!
