Back in October of 2015, I wrote an article called Seven Day Trips Perfect For Fall for Austin Monthly Magazine. In my article, I featured Graff 7A Ranch which is home of the South Texas Corn Maze. Every year, The Graff 7A Ranch creates a new maze design by planting Sorghum Sudangrass in a unique pattern and that year the maze was in the shape of Texas.
After writing about a giant 7-acre Texas-shaped corn maze I just had to see it for myself. So, I woke up early one Saturday morning and decided to make the nearly two-hour road trip from Austin to Hondo.
I wasn’t disappointed when I arrived. There’s a lot to do at Graff 7A Ranch, and it felt great to be out in the country. However, I highly recommend that you jump in the car and see it for yourself!
What I Saw
What To Do
I wish I would have taken more pictures of the farm because there really is a ton to experience and it’s
- ?Pumpkin Patch: They’ve got pumpkins to carve and pumpkins to bake.
- ?Apple Cannons: The nice people at Graff 7A Ranch will let you launch an apple from a cannon. What better way to get in the fall mood?
- ?Hayrides: Hop on the trailer and tour the farm.
- ?Campfire rentals: Reserve a cozy campfire or large bonfire to sit around when the sun goes down. Don’t forget to BYO hot dogs and marshmallows!
- ?Farm Animals: Pet a goat, watch the pig races, or ride a horse.
- ?Live Music: Listen to local bands & dance the night away.
