Explore the Enchanting Corn Maze at Jacob's Farm: A Northern Michigan Agritourism Gem
Just outside Traverse City, a 10-acre corn field has been transformed into a unique corn maze destination. Jacob’s Farm is unveiling its 2025 corn maze design, featuring a skull with a lightning bolt inspired by the Grateful Dead album cover. The farm, a Centennial Farm owned by the Witkop family for five generations, has become a popular agritourism spot with U-pick fruits, family activities, and live music events.
The corn maze at Jacob’s Farm is a highlight of the fall season, attracting visitors since 2008. Each year, a new maze design is created, offering an interactive experience with checkpoints and themed elements. The corn field is planted extra thick and irrigated to ensure the corn grows tall and healthy for the late summer opening. The maze design is precision-cut using computer-aided design technology, creating intricate patterns in the corn field.
Jacob’s Farm has evolved into a multifaceted destination, offering wedding venues, a full-service restaurant and bar, and a variety of family-friendly activities. The farm hosts live music events, bonfires, wagon rides, and seasonal treats like cider and fresh donuts. Visitors can explore the corn maze, enjoy the U-pick fruits, and experience the charm of this historic family-owned property.
As Jacob’s Farm continues to grow and expand its offerings, it remains a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. The farm’s commitment to providing a unique and memorable experience for visitors has solidified its place as a must-visit spot in Northern Michigan.
