It looks like corn mazes for a cause are a trend this year.

Fishkill Farms announced early in September the theme for their corn maze and the organization that they will be helping during the fall season.

According to a recent social media post, the corn maze at Fishkill Farms theme this year is: Cider.

The 1-acre corn maze is designed and cut by farmer and Fishkill Farm owner Josh Morgenthau. 30% of every ticket purchased for the corn maze will be donated evenly to different local organization.
