From the beginning, our mission has been to provide an enjoyable and educational source of good farmin' fun to communities around the world. When Brett Herbst, a Brigham Young University agribusiness graduate who grew up on an Idaho farm, launched his first corn maze in 1996, he drew most of his knowledge and motivation from his roots.

The idea sparked by a similar venture he had read about in a farming magazine, Brett's original labyrinth in American Fork, Utah was the largest corn maze created in the western United States. It didn't take long for news of this "corny" attraction to spread and after drawing 18,000 people in only three weeks during the fall of '96, The MAiZE was born.

Ten years later, The MAiZE has grown into the world's largest cornfield maze company. Now - 840+ mazes since its founding, a Guinness record and five countries later - The MAiZE has seen millions of people get lost in its corny creations.
