ABOUT US

Hood  Swamp Corn Maze was started in the Fall of 2017 on the family farm of Ham and Lois Parks. The farm has been in the same family for the past 5 generations. Our family decided to add an event to welcome young and old out to see what goes on an operating farm to help better understand farm life and help pass on  the importance of our family farms.
