Richardson Farm Corn Maze

The world's largest corn maze is just 30 minutes from Harmony Inn in Spring Grove Illinois.  Check this link to visit their website.  This farm is very diversified.  In the spring they have a tulip field that is fantastic!!  A total of 900,000 bulbs are planted for a huge spring field of color.  You won't want to miss visiting it, but weekdays are best to avoid the crowds.  
In the fall after people are done walking the world's largest corn maze, they allow people on horseback to explore the maze.  People are charged a fee, but not the horses.  I wonder how much corn the horses eat while exploring?  LOL, a bunch I bet.  
Near Christmas, this farm sells Christmas trees.  
We had a guest recently stop here to walk the corn maze but due to the wait time, they continued on with their plans.  
The zip line tower also seems like an exciting adventure.  
While I am not doing zip lines anymore, if I were younger, I would be sure to check this off my to do list.

The Huntley Farmer's Market

The Huntley Farmers Market is held each Saturday from 8am - 1pm on Coral Street, Church Street, and the Town Square.  Harmony Inn participated in the Chamber Day Farmer's Market event this summer.  Everyone loved the ducks we provided for anyone to hold.  It seems ducks and farmer's markets really go together.  
There are many other special farmer's market events held throughout the summer.  The Village of Huntley works very hard to run a well-organized event.  All of the products sold meet strict quality guidelines and sellers provide insurance before they can participate.
