A farm in Atkins, Iowa, is trying to combat bullying by using a corn maze and placing anti-bullying pictures throughout a field.
The Bloomsbury Farm is hoping to spread the anti-bullying message to school children as they wander through a 10-acre corn maze, reported KCRG-TV9. The farm even has anti-bullying pictures within the maze that is open until Oct. 31.
“The theme of our 2017 10-acre Corn Maze is anti-bullying. Remember to teach and practice kindness and compassion always, accept and love people’s differences and quirks, and teach that being different is what makes this world so beautiful!!!! Remember…courage is fire, and bullying is the smoke,” according to the Bloomsbury Farm’s website.
In past years the farm owners have had corn maze themes including Charlie Brown and Al Roker.
“I believe that the environment that you’re in and what you’re exposed to can really teach people a message, we do have a lot of school tours out there each year so just like having kids read them and just like get the message to them to be kind,” Jessica Petersen, manager of farm, told the local ABC-affiliate television station.
