The people at Middle Springs Farm in Bourbon County have been carving unique designs into a fall corn maze this year.
The owners wanted to use the maze to spell out a special message.
One that would highlight the importance of community and remind us that we have more in common than we think.
>> There's these companies travel around the country and and design and cut in these corn mazes.
But it was out of our budget is a farm just starting up.
So I had to figure out a way to to do it myself and says no ad ended up doing it was basically the sketch it out my hand and then I brought it into Google Earth and scaled it to the size of the field.
And so then I would just use my phone's GPS.
To be the little blue dot on my design, you know, walking around with a can of spray paint.
And I came back and followed my markings with my their turn lawnmower and followed the spray paint and cut it out.
And then hope at the end that actually looks like something.
>> The first year of corn maze was our our leg or grand opening.
>> So Lego second year.
We did the state of Kentucky.
With some of the major roads and say you would go within the maze and you would look for 13 different Kentucky cities within the maze.
And so I think that was part of the inspiration for this year's design going from.
>> The shape of the state of Kentucky to the Shape of the United States.
And given the it's an election year, that was part of the inspiration for.
Having it say United.
We stand the lettering scrawled out over the design of the maze.
People are actually asked to think about and contribute their own stories of unity.
And so we have 5 prompts within the Maze.
How has neighbor, you know, helped helped you out in the past.
For example, it feels politically divided right now.
I think a lot of people would agree with that.
It can make a kind of hard to remember that all of the other ways that we are and can be united with one another.
So what I hear people get out of the experience of being on our farm and going through the maze, most importantly is just to have fun.
Ultimately, we just want people to enjoy themselves.
But it's a take some special meaning out of the maze or stay make some memories that they're gonna, you know, Holden cherish for forever.
You know, of course that's that's all the more rewarding.
