For more than a decade, roughly eight acres of corn have been transformed into intricately detailed, head-spinning designs, including Super Mario Bros., Wonder Woman and Curious George. However, this year, the farm\u2019s corn maze took on an entirely different meaning. The Manalapan-based agritourism destination is paying tribute to American icon <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/newjersey\/dolly-parton-new-jersey-legacy\/\">Dolly Parton<\/a>, who died on August 25th, 2026.

The business specializes in corn maze designs that help farmers transform their fields. When The Maize got licensing approval for her image this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/themaize.com\/pages\/dolly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 farms<\/a> chose to turn their cornfields into Dolly Parton\u2019s unmistakable depiction.<\/p>\n<h2>From Design to Depiction<\/h2>\n<p>All patterns are created by a <a href=\"https:\/\/themaize.com\/pages\/team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">team of designers,<\/a> including The Maize founder and owner Brett Herbst. For Happy Day Farm, its field will feature Dolly Parton\u2019s face with her iconic flowy hair and infectious smile. Butterflies and stars will accompany Parton\u2019s visage in addition to words saying \u201cDolly\u201d and \u201cAn American Treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.com\/story\/entertainment\/music\/2026\/08\/27\/happy-day-farm-manalapan-dolly-parton-corn-maze\/91474430007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Work on the maze began in July<\/a>, when the corn was about 3 inches tall and designers divided the field into a grid to determine which stalks needed to be cut. After that, it is up to farmer Tim to maintain the pathways as the corn grows. Visitors will enjoy 3 miles of pathways that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happydayfarmnj.com\/cornmaze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">split into two routes<\/a>, a shorter trail that takes about 15 to 25 minutes and a more challenging one that can take up to an hour.
