Summers Farm
Farm · Middletown · Maryland
For close to 30 years, this Frederick County farm has built its fall around a themed corn maze, past ones cut in the shape of local sports heroes, plus a pumpkin train, hayrides, and dozens of other activities bundled under one ticket. The farm also runs a flower festival in late summer, but by September the corn maze is the main event.
