SCOTTSVILLE, NY, 2016-Sep-10 — /EPR Retail News/ — Stokoe Farms Pumpkin Patch & Harvest Fest will honor Wegmans’ 100th anniversary in its annual corn maze. The three-acre maze is the image of the heart-shaped “Wegmans Veggies” logo surrounded by a “corn”ucopia of vegetables. Farm guests are welcome to explore the maze from September 17th through October 30th.
“Stokoe Farms is over 200 years old, so we know the hard work and dedication it takes to create such an enduring legacy,” said Suzanne Stokoe, sixth Generation Farmer. “We wanted to honor Wegmans’ 100th anniversary for the accomplishment that it is. The Wegman family has done a great deal for the Rochester community, and this is a fun way to recognize the family’s contribution and heritage.”
