It’s a-maze-ing what $5,000 can do. Modest grant may help Utah family save a century-old corn farm.

Holladay • A $5,000 grant will go a long way in helping Kara Lewis and her family preserve their 100-year-old farm.

The co-owner of Glen Ray’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Spanish Fork said the money — which she won this week in a statewide competition for women-owned businesses — will be used to create an outdoor classroom to teach children about agriculture and where food is grown and raised.

In January, 115 female business owners submitted applications for the grant competition, sponsored by the Women’s Business Center of Utah, the Women’s Networking Group and Utah’s Own.
