Stony Hill Farms in Chester, New Jersey is one of several New Jersey farms that are honoring Rutgers’ 250th anniversary with a Corn Maze design. Stony Hill’s maze features the Scarlet Knight mascot and R250!
Replete with five bridges, game sheets and decoder glasses, a journey through the maze teaches about what Rutgers and its New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) have done to help and influence New Jersey agriculture. This includes information about NJAES plant researchers testing new varieties of corn and breeding other crops for hardiness to resist both diseases and pests, as well as heat and drought tolerance, and cold hardiness.
The Maze features facts, images and a game sheet of NJAES Rutgers 250 All-Star Varieties such as the Rutgers 250 tomato, Rutgers Scarlet™ strawberry, TangOs® peach, dogwood and more.
This is Stony Hill Farm’s 15th Annual Corn Maze and Fun Park with exciting activities for everyone including a Giant Corn Maze, Mini Corn Maze, Rope Maze, Tile Maze, Barnyard Board Game, Noah’s Ark Playground and more.
