Hellerick's Family Farm
GET LOST! In our 5-Acre Corn Maze
The Hellerick Family has been busy this winter, spring and summer creating the newest adventure; Hellerick’s Family Farm Corn Maze. Special corn seed and planting methods have helped created a 5 acre corn maze field guaranteed to confuse and entertain!
Our 2011 design is a tribute to all the Mom's who enjoy gardening and growing flowers. This year we have incorporated four huge flowers into the design. Through the generations, the family has been especially blessed to have mom's who enjoyed growing beautiful flowers. Many a Blue Ribbon and Grand Prizes have been received at the County Fair for the specimen flowers.
We have tried to create a maze that is big but not so big or confusing that you will be lost for days! The average time to solve the maze is 45 to 60 minutes.
Note: The paths marked on this map are NOT EXACT. They give you a general direction to walk for you to solve the maze.
