  A visitor writes on November 02, 2009: "I visited the Richardson "World's Largest" Corn Maze this season with my family and took a walk through their Christmas trees. Trees of different sizes and shapes, a wide range of varieties -- I was truly impressed by their selection. We have been visiting the farm for years because of their appreciation of family tradition but weren't too thrilled with their choices two years ago. Last year was better, but we are very excited to visit this holiday season. What a great outing it will be!"
  A visitor writes on September 01, 2008: "love the farm been going there for several years. My husband and I have been going to Richardson's farm for the last 10 years. We now have two children and have made it a family tradition. For the past three years, it has been very disappointing tree wise. Everything else is great. Hot chocolate, donuts, wreaths, kettle corn and the tractor rides. It's very family oriented. It makes us really very sad to say that we wont be going back there this year because the tree's that they have left are not very good. They are scrawny, mis-shapen and didn't appear to be properly cared for as they were growing. I think it's important to let people know before they drive all the way out there."
  A visitor writes on November 20, 2008: "My family and I have been coming to this farm for many years. The last 2 years we have been very dissapointed! Very much like the other family that sent feedback, the trees were not cared for and very little nice ones to choose from. More importantly we arrive at the farm the day after Thanksgiving when the first trees are allowed to be cut. This is a great family place and they really need to take care of their trees. We are looking for another place to go and recommendations would be appreciated!"
