Tammy and John Peterson started Hubb’s Corn Maze shortly after the birth of their son, Luke. Tammy grew up on the farm, but John had never been to a corn maze.
“We are creative people and we were asking ourselves, ‘What can we do for a youngster’ and also, we wanted something for families to do here in Sampson County,” Tammy said.
Being the creative people that they are, the corn maze evolved into “Crops of Fun,” a whirlwind of entertainment activities involving three seasons – fall, Christmas and spring.
