Communications Manager Connie Smith has shared, “One of the most inspiring aspects of this year’s Fall Season at Westview Orchards is its partnership with Jay’s Juniors, an incredible charity initiative spearheaded by Jay Towers from 100.3’s WNIC and WJBK Fox 2 News morning. 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.
