Their jobs vary from working at Sarah’s Sweets, the Corn Roaster, the Apple Cannon, the Country Store, or the Kettle Corn stand. Junior Nate Walchenbach said, “this is my first year working at Bob’s, and I really like it. Right now I am working at the Apple Cannon.”

Tractor girl, junior Erica Lane explains that working at Bob’s is the perfect holiday job. She explains that everybody on the farm is super welcoming, and nice. Bob’s corn is open during the month of October seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., but on Friday and Saturday nights they have the night maze, entry from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
