Despite what the calendar says, it’s hard to believe it’s September! Whether you’re a fan of summer or enjoy the changing seasons (if you live in a climate where the seasons actually change), fall is just about here. And if you live anywhere near Niota, Tennessee, the changing of the seasons means one thing – the opening of the annual Mason Corn Maze sponsored by Mayfield Dairy Farms.

Every September, Harmonyway Dairy Farm owners Gary and Janette Mason open up their farm (it truly is an actual working dairy farm) and provide fun and challenging activities for families, school groups, church outings, birthday parties and company picnics.

For those of you who have challenged your sense of direction through the nine-foot tall corn stalks, you know what I’m talking about. For all others who have yet to navigate through the maze, it’s something you’ll never forget. I encourage the young and young-at-heart to make a trip to Niota and spend the afternoon getting a behind-the-scents glimpse of this charming dairy farm. There’s something for everyone!
