Philadelphia is getting excited about its basketball team again, and a lot of that excitement has boiled down to a single phrase: Trust the Process. What was first a laughable punch line as the Sixers continued to struggle has been repurposed by the city after one of the prizes of the rebuilding effort — Joel Embiid — made the slogan his own.
Now the phrase has permeated into many different parts of the sports world. Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott likes to say it, though it’s unclear if he knows the Sixers got there first. In Philadelphia, though, it’s a refrain that suddenly rings true with the high hopes for fans that this might be the season the Sixers return to the playoffs.
Rich Alterman of The R & J Farmers Market in Souderton, Pennsylvania, wants you to know that he trusts the process, too. That’s why he built a Sixers-themed corn maze on his farm, complete with a “Trust The Process” slogan, basketball court and Sixers logo made of corn.
In case you’re wondering exactly what kind of process you need to make a corn maze, well, CBS3 in Philadelphia is here for you.
The maze sits on a six-acre corn field and took three days to craft, four hours per day. Rich had the design drawn on graph paper and does not use GPS. He began cutting out the maze in July with a lawnmower while the corn stalks were only six inches.
One hundred-ninety rows were used for the maze and are grown horizontally and vertically. This allows Rich to make 90-degree turns while cutting. Corn is typically grown vertical or horizontal.
The maze will be open to the public in the last week of September, just in time to get lost for a bit before the NBA preseason begins.
