FLORAL PARK, QUEENS — The Queens Farm is going back to its Dutch roots this fall with the debut of its seasonal corn maze, a rendition of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's masterpiece "Sunflowers."

The 3-acre labyrinth makes its debut Sept. 13 as part of the Queens County Farm Museum's "September Sundays" program, which will feature hayrides, live music, local food vendors and a beer garden on the last three Sundays of the month.

“We at the Van Gogh Museum are always delighted to see how Vincent’s art continues to delight and inspire," said Emilie Gordenker, director of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. "This new maze is a marvelous and original demonstration of that."
