Back 40 Adventures

A little backstory….

Brandon and Amy Rickman are joining with Amy’s Uncle, John Arnold III, to bring you Back 40 Adventures — a place where family, agriculture, and fall traditions come together.

John Arnold is no stranger to corn mazes. From 2004–2011, he designed and created annual corn mazes at Arnold Farm on River Road in Romney, West Virginia.

John,his father, John Arnold Jr., his mother,Nancy and fiancé Trina planted the corn and pumpkins, drove countless hayrides, and hand-painted pumpkins that became a beloved tradition for many visitors.

Because of the foundation they built, Back 40 Adventures carries on that same spirit of family, agriculture, and fall traditions — bringing new experiences and lasting memories to the next generation.

We hope you enjoy a few flashback photos from the past of the corn mazes and memories created at Arnold Farm. We are excited to create new traditions with you at Back 40 Adventures!
