Forrest Hall Farm is very proud this season to showcase the face of agriculture's new and emerging industry here in St. Mary's - wine grape growing and wine making - in our maze design. We at Forrest Hall are very proud to be a part of Maryland's first agricultural cooperative in the wine making industry. It is this group that is managing the new Port of Leonardtown Winery that just recently celebrated its grand opening. Wine making is part of the value-added, new face of Maryland agriculture.
This year's corn maze design is a reflection of this new wine growing and wine making industry here in St. Mary's County.
We hope that the maze will offer you a fun-filled visit to the farm and leave you with a few facts about this new and emerging industry here. It offers a profitable alternative crop to tobacco for those farming operations with limited land for crop production and a limited labor force for crop management. This transition time for our farms from tobacco to alternative crops is an exciting time in our agricultural community. It has its challenges, but is also has great potential for success.
Enjoy your visit, and when you visit our Crazy Corn Maze, be sure to pick up this year's fact sheet. You can take this with you when you visit the new winery and receive a tour and wine tasting (for those age 21+). The Port of Leonardtown Winery is located at 23190 Newtowne Neck Road in Leonardtown. For more information, please visit www.portofleonardtown.com.
Come visit, and be “A-Maized”
