A new activity the family hopes to implement this year is a scavenger hunt within the maze. Laurie Berry, Perryman’s sister, said stations would be set up and each person would be given a sheet of paper that would be checked off at each station. She said there would be an agricultural learning aspect to each station but the specifics have not been worked out yet. When the maze is closed for the season, the farm offers field trips to schools and other groups. “Part of our duty as agriculturalists is to teach the youth,” Berry said. The students are taken on a hayride around the farm and taught about the history and aspects of running a farm. The students are also allowed to feed the cattle that the farm raises. Also, Perryman said the family is thinking about doing a Christmas activity during the holiday season. Plans include Christmas movie classics out on the lawn, caroling, a horse drawn carriage, a Christmas tree lot and Santa’s workshop. Aside from the economic help the maze brings to the farm, Williams said the best part is that families are doing something together when they come to the farm. “Families come back again and again,” Williams said. She said she remembers seeing families come one weekend and then come again the following weekend with their friends and their families. “This was our field or dreams,” Williams said. s
