Hurds Corn Mazes |
Modena, NY 12548
(5 Miles South
of New Paltz)
During the months of September and October, Hurds Family Farm will open the fields to give school groups a first hand opportunity to visit a working family farm and orchard. Students can investigate and gather information about the science of growing crops that feed people. Our tours are lead by experienced, trained guides who are excited about sharing their enthusiasm for agriculture with your group. We believe that direct experiences are a valuable teaching and learning aid when combined with wholesome fun in the country.
Children
(and their teachers and parents) can twist and turn through this 1/4 acre
to get an idea of what a maze is like. This is a very easy maze geared
just for their age group, an sure to delight kids of all ages!
This year will be the fifth year we've designed a 4-acre cornfield maze
to challenge our older students. The 2005 living puzzle is in the shape
of a giant ear of corn. A great theme since we carve our maze out of a
field of corn each year, and our county is a major producer of sweet corn
in NY state. Students may not be aware of the many and varied uses of
this one a-maize-ing grain found in so many of the products we use daily
in our lives.
Due
to the many preschool groups that come to us for their autumn apple pumpkin
adventure, we've added a brand new mini cornfield maze just for our youngest
visitors.
