A-maize-ing Family Fun

By Sarah Correll

 

There's more than corn in Indiana, but our corn mazes are tough to beat.

 

 

Amazing designs, different lengths, haunted and traditional versions, and convenient locations all around the state are just some of the great reasons to visit a corn maze. As an added bonus, many of them are a part of a larger operation- an orchard, petting zoo, or pumpkin patch is possibly nearby!

 

 

Find out more about how they’re made here, and tell us about your favorite corn maze below!

 

 



Apple of My Eye

By Sarah Correll

It's apple season in Indiana. In fact, on many orchards, it's been apple season since mid-August. Expand your apple knowledge with these fun facts!

Johnny Appleseed was planting apples, but they weren't red delicious. He was planting apples to be made into hard cider.

Speaking of hard cider, the slogan "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" was a result of a serious apple surplus during the prohibition.

Indiana apple crop is huge this year thanks to great weather this year - and bad weather last year.

Apples are good source of fiber and Vitamin C.

Visiting an orchard can be a great way to spend a few minutes or few hours- find a listing of Indiana orchards here. Several host festivals, concert, tours and more!
