Luke Bryan Corn Maze

Von Thun’s Farms and 35+ Farms Pay Tribute to Luke Bryan with Corn Mazes Honoring the Country Music Superstar

Visit our So. Brunswick Maze

Visit our Washington Maze

In celebration of his 15^th annual Farm Tour kicking off in September, Von Thun’s Farms in South Brunswick and Washington, NJ are preparing to open a country music corn maze honoring five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan. The 5+ acre mazes are scheduled to open on September 14^th at both locations and remain open through Halloween.

Von Thun’s are two of 35+ farms featuring Luke in their corn maze this year. Collectively, the farms—which are designed by The MAiZE Inc. in 21 states or provinces across the U.S. and Canada—will reach up to a million visitors during the fall season.

“Having grown up farming in South Georgia and celebrating agriculture for the last 15 years on my Farm Tour, I’m honored that so many members of the farming community have chosen me to feature in their corn mazes across the country,” said Bryan. “I can’t wait to see how they turn out.”

While navigating their mazes, visitors will look for clues and play an interactive game quizzing them on how much they know about one of our favorite country music artists. Von Thun’s will have Luke Bryan photo-ops, music, and farm fun along the way.

“We were thrilled when the MaiZE Company announced their partnership with Luke Bryan and his team,” said Bob Von Thun. “Our kids grew up on country music and Luke Bryan has always been one of their favorites!”

The first phase of their corn mazes are short and perfect for young guests or those with limited walking ability. It tells the story of Spookley and how his friends helped him overcome being the only square pumpkin in a school of regular pumpkins. The second phase is nearly five acres with lots of twists and turns guaranteed to keep maze-goers on their toes. While navigating the maze, there are ten stops along the way where guests can answer a theme question and get a clue as to where to turn next.

The corn mazes at Von Thun’s open for the season on Saturday, September 14^th in conjunction with the farm’s Fall Festival Weekends and is open daily, including Columbus Day, through Halloween. The corn maze, along with hayrides, access to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch, and more than 20 games and attractions suitable for all ages is included with all general admission tickets. Tickets can be purchased online at a discount to save guests time when they arrive at the farm: www.vonthunfarms.com.
