To The Rock Ranch…..And Beyond!

nasaThe Rock Ranch has announced a partnership with NASA that will make the ranch one of seven Space Farms in the country this fall. The other locations will be in Texas, California, Utah, Nebraska, New York and the Washington DC area.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of man’s first space flight and to celebrate the occasion, this years corn maze will have a space theme. NASA will have a mobile classroom set up at the ranch as part of their goal to educate at least one million children nationwide about the space program.

In addition to the classroom, NASA will have an actual astronaut at the ranch in October along with a moon rock.

NASA’s involvement will attract national media attention to the Upson county area and The Rock Ranch is preparing for the largest crowds since the property was purchased by Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy in 1989.
