When I lived in Central America, I tried making some dried corn, putting the kernels on the metal roof of my little house. After a few days in the hot sun, they soon dried. Today, we locals still enjoy the unique nutty flavor and texture of dried corn. It can be purchased in our local supermarkets and is served at most family-style restaurants. A maze is designed and then cut into the rows of corn stalks.
Visitors enjoy the fun of finding their way through the labyrinth of pathways.
There are many other fun activities going on besides the maze itself, so plan to visit the farm between July and October. All in the Kernel Inside each kernel of corn is a complete corn plant. It is truly amazing to see all that will later develop, in miniature, in a young corn stalk. Eventually, the pollen from the tassels fertilizes the silky threads that grow from the ears, and the cob and its kernels start to develop. For me, corn has one other function .sheer beauty.
