Real Maine member Thunder Road Farm in Corinna, like many other farms this season, will offer the public a chance to navigate its corn “maize.”
Fans of the Peanuts comic strip will be happy to know that Thunder Road Farm is one of more than 75 farms in 35 states and provinces in North America selected by Peanuts Worldwide, in collaboration with corn maze consulting company The MAiZE Inc., to create a special Peanuts-themed 75th-anniversary maze.
“We’re thrilled to work with Peanuts Worldwide and The MAiZE to bring Schulz’ characters to life in our corn ‘maize,’” said Barbara Peavey, owner of Thunder Road Farm. “Visitors will love interacting with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Woodstock in a hands-on way they may never have experienced before. We’re honored to help celebrate the 75th-anniversary events commemorating Charles Schulz and Peanuts.”
On October 2, 1950, Peanuts made its debut in just seven U.S. newspapers. In the 75 years since, the Peanuts gang has made an indelible mark on popular culture through shows and specials, thousands of consumer products, amusement park attractions, events, social media, comic strips available in all formats, shows and live experiences, collaborations, and retail programs around the world.
Thunder Road Farm is a 35-acre, third-generation, family-owned, and family-operated farm that has been opening its six-acre corn “maize” in autumn to the public for 20 years. The farmers are proud to say that Thunder Road Farm is the oldest running customer-based business in the town of Corinna.
The opening date for the Peanuts 75th anniversary-themed corn “maize” at Thunder Road Farm is September 14, and those who’d like a chance to visit can do so until November 3. The “maize” will be open on weekends only from 10 am to 6 pm.
