Champaign, Ill. (WCIA)
Clearview Farm’s focus is regenerative agriculture and community engagement.
We are most well-known for our sunflower maze, but the farm contains many unique and beautiful crops. Guests are encouraged to visit and explore the farms many walking paths and educational opportunities year-round.
This year, Clearview Farm’s sunflower maze is for the benefit of Eastern Illinois Foodbank– even the design is their logo!
Since Clearview Farm never requires tickets or admission fees, we are asking guests of both the maze and the sunflower celebration to instead make a donation to Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
Giving boxes are located at the entrance to the maze. Guests can leave donations of non-perishable food items and cash at these locations. Our staff check and empty them frequently with 100% of the donations benefitting Eastern Illinois Foodbank. QR codes are also posted in these locations for guests who prefer to give online through a secure digital portal.
This year’s sunflower maze is sponsored by Hickory Point Bank. Clearview Farm is a project of The Atkins Group.
