Lattin Farms celebrates 100 years of farming with the Centennial Corn Maze
Finding your way through the annual corn maze at Lattin Farms in Fallon is one of Nevada’s fun fall activities. This year, the Lattin family is celebrating 100 years and five generations of farming with the opening of the Centennial Corn Maze, a jungle of towering corn stalks that twist and turn for more than a mile.
The Centennial Maze is open to the public every weekend in October, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays. The maze will stay open an hour later the full-moon weekend of Oct. 2-3 for visitors to try their luck getting through by moonlight.
A different design is cut into the corn each year. It’s difficult to get a sense of the design from inside, but from the air, the image is striking and clear. This year’s design – the 11th — depicts the faces of Bill and Edna Lattin, third generation family farmers, now retired.
Finding one’s way through the maze, where 38,000 kernels of corn have grown into three acres of cornstalks that peak at over 10 feet, can take 30 minutes to an hour or more.
Lattin Farms is at 1955 McLean Road in Fallon, an hour’s drive east of Reno. For more information, call 1-866-638-6293 or visit www.lattinfarms.com.
