Treworgy Family Orchard’s yearly corn maze is known across the U.S. as one of the best mazes to visit during the late summer and early fall months. the 2024 maze design was recently announced, so we’re looking back at some of the whimsical designs from years past at the Levant orchard.
The family farm has been designing intricate labyrinths, with checkpoints hidden within, for more than two decades. Starting with the very first maze grown in the shape of a popped piece of corn, the Treworgy family has come up with unique and puzzling designs every year since 2001.

Growing the corn maze starts with a theme. Once the family determines the theme and design, the corn is planted, and rows are mapped out to make the maze walkways. It takes around 60,000 corn plants to make the mazes, and once they grow to full height, the plants make navigation a challenge.
