Everybody knows the happiest cows around are grazing in Wisconsin !!!!!
The beef cows and their calves are usually out grazing the hills and valleys here on the Meuer Farm from April till October. This year is no exception. These are some of the cows and pasture you will see on the hayrides that take place here on the Meuer farm. Hayrides take place during the "MAZE" season, and on special weekends. We also do hayrides by special request!
One of the new calves enjoying the sun, more to follow!

WI. Honey Queen, Danielle Dale with a bottle of Meuer Farm Honey
On Sept. 10, 2010 , we were lucky to have the 2011 Wisconsin Honey Queen; Danielle Dale, from Sparta , WI. visit the Meuer Farm Corn Maze. She went on the hayride and visited with people. Danielle's knowledge of bees, bee keeping and the honey industry was amazing. We learned a lot from her that day. She also left brochures with honey recipes for people to take home. Remember fresh harvested honey is now available here at the farm for you to purchase.

What's Happening This Week!!!
09/12/2011 Opening weekend was gorgeous weather but not real big crowds here at the maze. Might of been a little too warm for walking thru the maze. But the hayrides were a big hit. School fieldtrips begin today and if your school or group is interested in coming out yet this fall, there are plenty of openings left. Just call the farm number at (920) 418-2676 to book your fieldtrip NOW! Fieldtrip info is located further down on this page.
Remember pumpkins have been harvested along with squash, gourds and everything fall for your decorating. The construction of the haunted maze continues and we are preparing for the opening of that in October.
09/18/2011 Remember helicopter rides will be available again at the maze this year. The weekend of Sept 24th. and 25th. Flights start at 10 am. and go till dark on Saturday. Flights start at 10 am on Sunday, and last till 6 pm. Saturday Sept. 24th., "Fang" from the WI. Timber Rattlers will be here on the grounds about mid-afternoon as well. So bring out the kids! Weather forecast looks great for this upcoming weekend, so come on out. And don't forget, the big 4 acre Haunted Cornfield opens Saturday, October 1st. 9/24 update. Looks like FANG will not be able to make it today. Sorry!!!
11/22/2011 The regular and haunted mazes have all been disassembled and harvested. Fall tillage has been completed as well. The beef calves were weaned off of their mothers a week ago, man was that a noisy 3 or 4 days!!! And the cows are now in their winter yard and lean to. Deer hunting this week, and then on to cut more firewood next week for the fireplace, but mainly for maple syrup this next spring. I am currently sold out of the Grade B maple syrup, but have some of the other 2 grades left in quarts only. Honey is still available as well! And yes, I have butternut and accorn squash left here yet too.
12/03/2011 The past 2 days were spent covering the strawberry field with wheat straw (mulching). This protects the plants from heaving and from breaking dormancy too early, say during a January thaw!! Photos of this process can be found at the bottom of the strawberry page. Its aleays cold and nasty when this gets done, since the plants have to be dormant first before we can do this. And no to mention, you don't get many good days in a row here to get this done!! So when the conditions are right, its go, go, go !!! Still selling honey in small containers and 5 Gal. bulk pails along with maple syrup. Remember these make excellent Christmas presents, especially for your out of state friends!!! Just give me a call at the farm (920) 418-2676.
12/24/2011 Twas the night before Christmas, the animals are all fed and bedded, the strawberry plants are sleeping comfortably in their bed of straw, The firerwood is all split and ready for the maple syrup season, and The Meuer Farm wishes all of our customers and everyone that visited the farm this past year, A Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Watch for special hours here at the farm after the first of the year for purchasing your maple syrup and honey!! When in doubt, call (920) 418-2676. Thanks again for a great year, and we will see you in 2012!!
1/10/2012 Sure has been a warm winter so far here. But I think that will be changing soon!! Hope we get a blanket of snow to insulate the ground in the woods for the maple syrup season. Otherwise, I fear its going to be a short season!! I will be having my Kettle Corn set-up, maple syrup, honey and Golden Maple root beer for sale at the Living Green & Natural Health Expoon January 28, 2012. This event is from 10:00 am. till 5:00 pm. at the Sunnyview Expo Center in Oshkosh. Go to their web site at:www.healthylivingevents.com/ and get more information and hope to see you there!!!

Field Trips, My Specialty, and Thanks to my Sponsors, my School Fieldtrip Prices Remain LOW!
If you are a business or corporation, even an individual interested in sponsoring activities that promote agricultural education here on the farm. Please contact the farm at (920) 418-CORN(2676)
One of the most exciting times on our farm is giving fieldtrips. I have fieldtrip packages available for day cares and school children of all ages. Fieldtrips are available most times of the year, but the most exciting time is during the time that the maze is open. We have fieldtrips available if you want to bring your whole school, or certain grades, or just your class. Such as a science, biology or agriculture class. What better place to learn about science, biology, forestry or soil and water conservation than on a real working farm. we continue to offer low prices for school fieldtrips due to the cutbacks in school budgets. This is my way to give back to the community by trying to introduce and educate children about agriculture and food production. All fieldtrips are handicap accessible. Most groups spend 2 -4 hours here for a fieldtrip. You are welcome to spend all day or make your fieldtrip as short as needed to fit your schedule.
My fieldtrips during the maze include the following:
- Movies to introduce children to dairy and corn production, and how the maze was made. (1/2 hour)
- An educational hayride (45 minutes)
- Doing one phase of the maze (30 minutes)
- Access to the activity area (as long as you want)
- Area provided to eat your lunch (inside or out)
You can bring bag lunches, bring bag lunches and get your milk here, or place you food order at our food stand when you arrive and it will be ready
when your group is ready to eat. (Prices are very affordable)
- An activity book, a free pumpkin, gourd or cob of Indian corn to take along home in the bag we provide.
- A pass for the child to come back to the maze free with a paid adult.
The Price for this Fieldtrip Package is:
$3.50/ child Pre-K thru 8th. Grade
$5.00/ Child Grades 9 thru 12.
Every group requires one teacher or chaperone for every 6-7 children. For these teachers and chaperones that are required, their admission is free. For extra adults that want to come along, that is fine and we encourage it, but their price is $7.00/ person. Children and parents should bring some spending money along. There are special reduced prices for school kids to shoot the corn cannons and slingshots. Parents, children or chaperones are welcome to purchase fall and halloween decor for decorating their schools or homes.
Fieldtrips during the maze in 2011 will begin on Sept. 6, 2011 and run thru Oct. 28,2011. It is best to call or e-mail us as soon as you have a date picked out to reserve your date and time. We need to know your date, arrival time, contact person and phone number, how many students, your departure time and your plans for lunch. Even with as much rain as we had in 2009, there were no fieldtrip cancellations due to weather. The program in the main building is inside a heated building. The farm animal area is inside as is the straw fort.. The duck races and corn box have roofs over them and lunch will be inside. There are other inside activities such as movies, pumpkin carving and pumpkin decorating that can be done in adverse weather.
