  About  I grew up on a farm 
that does this too. 
==========================================

 I'm Eldon Yoder. I grew up on a dairy farm in Virginia that my family later turned into a pick-your-own strawberry farm with a corn maze and pumpkin patch in the fall.

  Cutting a corn maze  Where I come from
-----------------

 I know what it is like to run a farm where any new fall attraction has to be worth the time, effort, and expense it takes to do it well.

 Many farms looking into a corn maze are family-run places trying to make the season worthwhile and give visitors a real reason to come out. That makes sense to me because I grew up on one. If you want to see the farm I grew up on, take a look at [Yoder's Farm](https://yodersfarm.com/) and the [2026 Yoder's Farm maze project](https://cornmazedesign.com/mazes/2026-yoders-farm-corn-maze).

 Being based in Virginia also means I know this part of the world well. A lot of the farms I make the most sense for are in Virginia first, then North Carolina and nearby states. If you are in Virginia and thinking about a maze, I put together a page about how I approach [corn maze design across the state](https://cornmazedesign.com/corn-maze-design-virginia).

Since 2013
----------

 I started cutting corn mazes in 2013 and have taken on more projects over the years. My goal is to do solid work, create a design that fits the field, and help farms put on a strong fall season.

 Outside of the maze work, I am also a web developer. Corn Maze Design runs under the umbrella of [NodleStudios LLC](https://nodlestudios.com/).

Why I do this
-------------

 I enjoy the work. I get to spend time outside, meet other farmers, and watch a design take shape in a field.

 I work with farms of different sizes, but I still appreciate the practical side of the business. That perspective comes from the world I grew up in, and it still shapes how I approach each project.

How I work
----------

 I keep the process straightforward. We talk about your field and what you want the maze to do for your farm. I draw up a design, and once your corn is ready, I come out and cut it. If questions come up along the way, I'm easy to reach.
