Lyman Orchards to open Corn Maze on September 4

Middlefield, CT—Lyman Orchards, an independently-owned family destination for over 275 years, has announced that September 4 is the opening day for its 2021 Corn Maze. This year’s theme will focus on 1970s
rock 'n' roll, with multiple maze posts featuring trivia questions and musical highlights of the decade.

One dollar of each admission fee will be donated to support the American Cancer Society; since 2000, the Corn Maze has raised almost $665,000 for the organization. In addition, $.50 of each admission fee will be donated to the Connecticut Cancer Foundation, which has received a total of $20,440 from the Corn Maze since 2020.

“This marks our twenty-second year of operating the Corn Maze, as well as donating a percentage of proceeds to medical research,” states Lyman Orchards Executive Vice President John Lyman. “It’s always great fun for
families, and this year will literally be a trip down memory lane for lots of people.”

“We’re humbled by the support we’ve received for more than two decades from Lyman Orchards,” say Wendy Matthews, Director, New England, American Cancer Society. “The donations [the Corn Maze]
generates support all of the Society’s programs, services and resources—so not only does Lyman Orchards make a difference for their Connecticut neighbors, but also for anyone touched by cancer.”
