The farm’s corn maze, ingeniously carved into the shape of the Jay’s Juniors logo symbolizes solidarity with chronically or terminally ill children. Katrina Roy, Westview’s co-owner says, “We’re not just about apples and pumpkins; we’re about making a positive impact. Our corn maze represents hope and support for children who deserve a chance to experience joy despite their challenges.” Admission to the orchard also includes a three-acre playground, straw bale mountain, farm animals, and wagon rides, just to name a few.
