2018 Design Reveal: Famous Potatoes

Idahoans will soon be getting lost and finding fun amidst the eyes of Idaho’s most famous crop carved into the ears of Idaho’s most famous cornfield. The Farmstead, home of Idaho’s original corn maze, opens its 22nd annual cornfield creation later this month featuring a twist on an Idaho icon:


Famous Potatoes


Research shows that Idaho is known better for potatoes than any other state is known for anything, a quirky claim to fame that leads to a mishmash of eye-rolling and home state pride among natives and transplants alike. Love it or hate it, there is no denying that the fame of Idaho’s favorite tuber is fertile ground for The Farmstead’s own brand of homegrown fun. Perhaps the unlikely rise to fame of a very plain-natured, humble spud is just the kind of cinderella story that can a-peel to Idahoans. After all, the success of the famous potato parallels fame recently showered on the Treasure Valley as the ordinary Idaho way of life has been spotlighted by a proliferation of “best of” lists, famously attracting record numbers to the area. Even The Farmstead has had its own glimpse of fame as its small potatoes brand of local, homegrown fun has garnered local and national media attention from the likes of Time Magazine, USA Today, CNN, and The Tonight Show.


In addition to the MAiZE, Farmstead visitors enjoy bushels of good farming funsuch as Corn Popper air pillows, the Famous Idaho Potato Sack Slide, and Apple Blasters as well as mainstays like hayrides, pumpkin picking, and marshmallow roasting. Savvy patrons plan their visits to include Dog Day, Touch-A-Tractor, or Friday Night Fireworks. Notable to passersby is “Rusty the VBB” (very big beast) that crouches near I-84 during the season, beckoning guests to venture through his imposing teeth and explore the belly of the beast. Rounding out the experience is a wide menu of farm fresh foods, only to be topped off by... an ice cream potato.


The Farmstead will be open to the public September 21 – November 3!

Love seeing the behind-the-scenes design process here, especially how much thought went into highlighting the potatoes and keeping everything true to the farm’s identity. While reading this, I realized I’m trying to learn more about ejpt certification for someone starting out in cybersecurity. If anyone here has experience, I’d appreciate some guidance on how beginner-friendly it really is.

From what I’ve seen, the ejpt certification is actually a solid entry-level option for people new to penetration testing. It focuses more on practical understanding than theory overload, which makes it less intimidating for beginners. Similar to how this design reveal breaks complex ideas into simple visuals, ejpt eases you into core concepts step by step.

After you've finished navigating the twists and turns of a massive corn maze, you might want to unwind with a different kind of challenge. I highly recommend playing skribbl io for a quick and easy way to keep the fun going. It’s a hilarious drawing and guessing game that’s perfect for relaxing with friends or family. A quick round of skribblio or scribbl io is a great way to show off your artistic skills (or lack thereof) and share some laughs!

Idaho’s deep association with potatoes has been GeoGuessr creatively transformed into a source of community pride and entertainment through The Farmstead’s corn maze. By celebrating the state’s most iconic crop, the attraction blends humor, tradition, and local identity, turning a simple symbol into a memorable experience. The famous potato becomes more than just a stereotype—it represents Idaho’s humble charm, growing recognition, and ability to turn ordinary roots into nationally celebrated, homegrown fun.
