The fall season is fast approaching…and so is the fun!

OUR STORY!
We are Jesse and Erika Rowe. We are the sole owners of Rowe Crop Farm Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. In 2010, Jesse started hobby farming row crops such as corn and soybeans and it turned into a full time business. We met in 2012, married in 2013 and bought our house and 50 acres in the spring of 2014 and immediately planted our first ever corn maze!! It began as just a simple 10 acre corn maze and our hand popped kettle corn. Since then, we have grown the maze to 16 acres, added 7 acres of pumpkins, a couple acres of sunflowers, goats, attractions and much more! We plan to continue adding more to our farm, as we can.

Within five years, not only did we expand our business, but we also expanded our family! Our children, Eli, Cooper and Ella, are very involved in our farms and corn maze business and love to greet everyone who comes to the farm. A couple other members of our household, who also love the corn maze season, is our dog, Shyla, and our cat, Razor. They love seeing all of you, as do we!

Every year, we look forward to the Fall season, when we get to share our beautiful farm with all of you and meet new faces! We have created so many wonderful memories here, with so many of you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
