Get Your Kicks At Rader Family Farms on September 4th at our Route 66 Centennial Kick-Off Celebration and come check out our A-MAZING corn maze! This year’s maze honors the centennial of U.S. Route 66, weaving together movement, memory and the deep agricultural roots that have sustained the journey. At Rader Family Farms, the 12-acre corn maze becomes more than a design. It becomes a living story; one you don’t just look at, but walk through. Our 12-acre corn maze features the ability to access a digital map on your phone, allowing you to see your location within the maze.
