The Green Acres Crew would like to thank everyone for a fun 2012 corn maze season! We closed out the season yesterday, Oct. 28th as hurricane Sandy added some wind to our sails.
We enjoyed having you as our guests and look forward to an exciting 2013 season!
We will begin selling Christmas trees the day after Thanksgiving. Come see us soon!

Attention Green Acres Farm guests! We have added some addiitonal fun to our corn maze game this year! You can use MAZE TRIVIA to help find your way through the corn maze OR you can enter a code (or scan a code) with your smart phone to track that you have found the check points! If you prefer the traditional paper punch cards, we will still have those on site as well. If you want to be prepared ahead of time to use your phone as a virtual punch card, just upload a QR scanner app. on your phone. (I know that the iPhone QR scanner app. is free.) TEACHERS or GROUPS - you might want to create 10 questions for your students to answer through the Green Acres maze. If they answer correctly, they will be sent in the correct direction. See the link in the "group" section below for this option. (Scouts - we have trivia for you too!)
Would you like to take a virtual tour of our farm? Come on in ...
