Fall is a busy time of year for the farm. It grows apples for people to pick and gets the corn maze ready. Preparations for the maze began several months ago.

The staff at Eckert’s Orchard create the design for the maze and someone comes to cut it using GPS technology.

Along with some proceeds made from the corn maze going toward D.A.R.E., this year’s partnership included incorporating the organization’s logo into the maze and posting educational signs inside of it.

“We’ve partnered with them for several things and just feel like that that’s a great organization that we can help support right here in our own county,” said Megan Fields, the farm’s manager.

The corn maze will be open every Friday through Sunday until the end of October.

Pick-your-own-apples is currently being offered, and starting Saturday, Sept. 23 people can pick pumpkins from the farm’s pumpkin patch.
