Pumpkin Sundays: Agrotourism Edition

Yesterday some friends and I went to Rougemont, NC (which is just outside of Hillsborough, in Orange County) to go to the McKee’s Cornfield Maze.  The maze is an annual autumn tradition at the McKee’s Cedar Creek Farm.  I hadn’t been to a cornfield maze during my four years of living here, so some friends and I decided it was time to check one out.

The maze covers twelve acres and consists of four miles of paths through corn fields.  Starting in later October the maze becomes a “Haunted Maze” at night, but we went on a beautiful autumn day and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.

We also went on a day they were doing a fundraiser for a local woman who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.  10% of all the day’s proceedswere going to the woman and her family, so yay McKee Farm for being awesome!
