September 2023 - this year's annual event we attended late but were happy to revisit here despite the hot and humid weather which there were few of this summer. The daily schedule consisted of carnival games, face painting for kids, concessions, a lunch buffet, speaker presentations and a ticket to the four acre corn maze with over a mile of pathways! The theme this year is based on the classic film "The Wizard of Oz" and trivia signs are placed throughout the maze along the way. This year marks the 24th anniversary of the Lyman Orchards corn maze.

The food provided here was a nice balance of healthy choices and summer favorites served under warmed stainless chafing dishes. Menu included salad with red onion, tomato and cucumber, watermelon slices, hamburgers with or w/o cheese in addition to the optional veggie burger, roasted chicken and macaroni & cheese with a bit of heat. Dessert service came out later with chocolate frosted cake squares, cookies and Lyman's well known apple cider doughnuts made from their own orchard's apples.

Much to do here aside from golf if holding an event or just visiting for the day. There are horse-drawn rides (cash only for a minimal fee), a petting zoo, a haunted trail after dusk for those seeking a thrill, and the option to pick your own apples. For food, there is the farm market for sandwiches and the 1741 Pub & Grill for tavern fare and cocktails.

The event we attended in August 2022 featured a contest of 18 holes of golf before their picnic and awards ceremony. Nice location in the country with a lot of green lawns, open space and blue sky. Playing golf or not, this is a group friendly place for any event who needs outdoor and/or tented accommodations. The Lyman Orchards store features all kinds of products for consumers whether needed or simply to enjoy.
