Welcome to Oakes Farm
Description
2005 we were celebrating Walt Disney Pictures' computer animated movie CHICKEN LITTLE with a maze design featuring Chicken Little. The 2006 design will be announced later this year.
The Oakes Family has been involved in farming for three generations in the Corryton community. After years of growing tobacco and raising beef cattle, the Oakes began growing daylilies, a hobby which has grown into a nationwide mail-order nursery, Oakes Daylilies. New to the Oakes family operations in 2004 is Paradise Garden which sells a wide range of specialty plants. Many of these plants are grown right here in East Tennessee. Some of the plants offered are grown by specialists in their "fields" for Paradise Garden.
The Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch at Oakes Farm is the latest venture for Ken Oakes and David Black, University of Tennessee graduates and brothers-in-law. Oakes Farm was the recipient of the 2001 "Farmer of the Year" award for Knox County. It is located in the scenic Corryton community in North Knox County, on Corryton Road between Emory Road and Tazewell Pike. 2005 will be our fifth year producing a maze, and we look forward to another great year.
