Patches and More.org
This page provides a detailed list of Macon and central Georgia's pumpkin patches! Just scroll down this page! Some are farms, where you take a hay ride out into the field, others are elaborate farm stands with mountains of pumpkins and other activities and some are simple roadside stands. All should have loads of pumpkins to choose from. To really make it fun for your kids, look for those that have the extra activities, like a corn maze, spook house, or hayride. There is usually a small fee for the mazes (of course, the more elaborate mazes tend to charge more. Hayrides are often free. ALWAYS call before you go to confirm all information, they don't always report changes to me!

Complete Water Bath Canner KitThis is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother
used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce!. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, six pint jars with lids and rings, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's
much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll
never need anything else except more jars and lids! Average Customer Review:

- Pumpkin Patch - pumpkin patch, hayrides,
pumpkins
9616 Fortson Rd, Fortson, GA 31808. Phone: 706-327-1515.
A visitor writes on October 13, 2008: "We love this place. It does not look like a nursery. There are creeks and lakes and two of the oldest Bradford pear trees in Georgia. There is the original Fortson school there to go through and there is still writing on the original chalkboard and the walls! And the pumpkin patch is one of the nicest I have been too. They do grow their own plants and flowers on site in a greenhouse. We love going to the Pumpkin Patch every year. This nursery has a human maze pumpkin patch that we love. There are 100,000 lbs of pumpkins of all sizes and a hayride too. There is no cost to go which was nice. The pumpkins were great and they had a tasting tent on the weekend of recipes you can make from pumpkins and gourds. They do have a restroom and its only in the month of October. Yes they took credit cards. Hours were Monday through Saturday 8-6 and Sunday 12-5. They also do school field trips in the daytime during the school week " (Suggested by a visitor, ADDED: October 13, 2008)
