LELAND, Utah County — Seven generations have now called a farm near Spanish Fork their home, but keeping the farm in the same hands in the modern economy hasn’t been easy and has forced the owners to be creative.
Rex Larsen said that’s why the family farm, 1750 West 8000 South, now is home to Glen Ray’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch .
“It’s just fun to me to have our family involved in a united effort to produce something very wonderful, I think,” Larsen said.
According to Larsen, the farm has been in operation for 156 years after originally being started by his grandfather, Lars Larsen, who moved from Denmark and settled in the Spanish Fork area.
“It gives me a lot of pleasure and maybe even pride to think that I’m sticking a shovel in the same ground that he did,” Larsen said.
