Lyman Orchards, Middlefield
Lyman Orchards had the perfect cornfield for a maize maze: its field stretches out almost exactly like a huge flag waving in the wind. It was then easy to dream up a Patriotic maze into its 4 acres, making the mazes 2 miles of pathways morph into our flag and the American Eagle. True to the country theme, they also provide visitors with a map of and a passport to the maze.

Lyman also takes you back in time with horse-drawn wagon rides or pony rides for young visitors. As expected from an orchard, you will also find the best and tastiest apples in its apple barrel market and on the branches of its apple trees.
