As we head into September, the Local Food Project crew is excited to open Airlie's Organic Corn Maze, located just two hundred yards from the main Airlie House, and right in the LFP garden.
The one acre maze of towering heirloom field corn provides an amazing platform for a variety of group challenges. Four flag stations within the maze each await discovery by competing participants. A hidden gathering place in the middle of the maze is a perfect location for appetizers and local wines. Groups can incorporate their own riddles and challenges into the maze for a customized experience, and enjoy a harvest dinner right next to the maze with views of the organic garden and Piedmont foothills. The Organic Corn Maze is open September through early November, and it's a great way for guests at Airlie to have some fun while learning about sustainable agriculture. Our plan is to rotate the corn maze plot each year, and build in educational experience components. Come check it out!
