Agritourism Farm Boasts 1st Orange Grove Maze

I am often asked, “what’s next in agritourism?” Thanks to Bob McKellar at the Historic Seven Sycamores Ranch in Ivanhoe, California, I can tell you that this Easter there is a 1st in agritourism.  The first two weekends in April, families are invited to accept the challenge of finding their way out of a 9 acre orange grove maze. 

Weather permitting the fragrance of the orange blossoms will be at the peak of their bloom.  We are all familiar with corn mazes, hedge mazes, box mazes, straw mazes etc. but no one (until now) had thought of trying a spring maze on a family farm in the midst of a blooming orchard.

Thanks to Maize Quest and their design assistance - Seven Sycamores will be bringing families to the farm to enjoy the orange grove maze, see the Easter Bunny, participate in games and just have fun.  I always say that the scope of agritourism activities is just defined by the creativity of the farmer.  Congratulations to Bob and staff for coming up with the 1st Orange Grove Maze.
