Corn Maze at Lark Ranch is Ideal Southern Indiana Family Entertainment!

	Pumpkins, Indian corn, hay bales, sunflowers and cotton are all at Matt Lark's farm in rural Martin County. A corn maze has been this year's feature attraction. One can walk through the maze and go on a hayride.

A rural Martin County farm owned by Matt Lark has drawn many visitors and students.

The special farm features a corn maze, pumpkin patch, gourds, Indian corn, cotton, persimmons, sunflowers, Texas longhorns and a horse.

Lark said he had been raising pumpkins and Indian corn for several years and decided to expand the business. With the help of his neighbor, Jeff Lake, the business has grown into a tourist attraction.

Lark said between 2,000 and 3,000 children from area schools have visited the farm free of charge and walked through a short version of the corn maze.

The farm can give hayrides for large groups of up to 200 to 250 people. There are plans to continue the hayrides through the fall and possibly into early winter.

Lark plans to expand the business next year by adding a “Corn Celebration” in mid-July. This will have a festival-type atmosphere featuring every type of corn. Tilly Brown will be featuring various corn dishes during the festival. Lark said he plans to give away 10 acres of sweet corn during that time.

Also, Lark would like to add a petting zoo and possibly have a pumpkin festival next fall.

Lark doesn’t charge much to visitors. He asks they pay $5 each to help cover the cost of insurance.

To get to the farm, follow the corn maze signs off of U.S. 231, just north of West Boggs Park. The farm is about seven miles northeast of Loogootee.
