Good to know …
- There is a $10 farm admission (discounted rate) for EVERYONE who enters the farm. Clients can then enjoy the farm after the shoot.
- All props must be removed upon departure.
- Be aware of insects, stickers, fire ants, etc. in this natural environment.
- We have an area of the corn maze that we have special for photographers to set up that will offer them a more secluded and private area for their shoots.
- No public area may be closed or blocked to customers during regular business hours during a photoshoot.
- Vehicles are NOT allowed in the corn maze or any other part of the farm. All props, furniture, etc. must be carried to your photoshoot location. We recommend bringing a wagon to transport props and other items.
- CM Farms staff is not responsible for directing clients to your photoshoot location. Make sure your clients have your cell phone so that they can contact you upon their arrival.
