Back in June, we were contacted by Martha Stewart Living about an article on corn mazes for their October 2019 issue. We are pretty excited about the result–we love the magazine!
Martha Stewart Living famous — that’s pretty famous, right?
And here’s the online version of the article with a cool video.
Wisconsin Weekend: Designing And Operating Corn Mazes
Curious about Wisconsin corn mazes? Wondering about the Treinen design process? Listen to Angie’s interview on WPR’s Morning Show:

Every year we need to come up with an amazing maze theme–which is a lot of pressure! We need a design that is interesting, recognizable, complex, and gives us a story to tell or at least easy conversation starters.
This year, the maze is the Rudyard Kipling Just-So Story, The Elephant’s Child. It is about how the curious little elephant got its trunk (spoiler: the crocodile pulled its nose really hard…) Kipling is most well known for his other beloved children’s story, The Jungle Book.
Here is a link to the written version of the story
Here’s an animated version of video of the story
We’ll have a lot more about the maze coming up, but here’s a little preview photo for you.
Check out the USA Today 10Best website to see our maze! It’s so awesome to be featured on the site, and it’s also great to see the mazes that farms around country have designed this year. We’ve met many corn maze operators from all over when we’ve gone to various corn maze conventions in the off season (bet you didn’t know there was such a thing as a “corn maze convention” Well, there is. And they’re lots of fun.)
Take a look at the photos of mazes on this list. They’re all good mazes, but some of the images are actual photos and some are “mock-ups” of the design superimposed on corn or on an aerial photo (ours is an actual photo, BTW. Alan went up in a small plane and took about a gazillion photos to get one with the light juuuust right…)
