For more than 20 years, Treworgy Family Orchards in Levant has created whimsical, complicated and just plain fun corn mazes.

They’ve carved a black bear, a rooster, a butterfly. They honored Paul Bunyan and paid tribute to farmers. And in recent years, they’ve celebrated children’s classics, such as “Charlotte’s Web” and “Winnie the Pooh.”

And this year, it’s Peter Rabbit’s turn to challenge the adventuresome to wend their way through twists and turns, answer trivia questions and climb the new lookout tower to get a beautiful view of the corn and other fields beyond.

“Our main mission here is to connect people together in community and to the land through agriculture,” said Jonathan Kenerson, co-owner and operations director at the farm. “We want to provide authentic agricultural experiences people can do together.”

The farm is competing against other corn mazes across the country in the USA Today Reader’s Choice awards. With 10 days left to vote, Treworgy is currently ranked second, behind Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Pennsylvania.

And in third is the Great Vermont Corn Maze in Danville.

Kenerson said winning the competition is a source of pride for the farm, particularly in a state known more for blueberries and potatoes than corn.

“We’ve won first or second place for the last six years,” he said. “Maine isn’t necessarily known for its corn. To win the national corn maze competition is a nice win for Maine.”

He suggests setting aside 30 to 40 minutes to get through the maze, which he said does not include any dead ends. Technically, it’s more of a labyrinth and if you are good at following a map you can get through more quickly.

The maze is just one fall activity at the farm in Levant, a town of 2,900 northwest of Bangor. Visitors can feed goats, pick blueberries, raspberries, apples and sunflowers and buy fresh baked donuts and pumpkins at the farm store.

The family owns about 340 acres and farms about 70 acres each year. The maze takes up about four acres. They plant corn they know will grow tall — this crop is about 10 feet in height — and they plow under the stalks and cobs when the maze season ends in early November.

The design each year is a team effort and if you look closely at Peter Rabbit, there’s a carrot in the middle, a bird above his head and a sunflower behind him.

“Everyone can vote once a day,” Kenerson said. “We’re always right in the running.”

It’s free to vote in the contest, which ends Sept. 9, but if you want to check out the maze, tickets are $10 on weekdays and $13 on weekends.
