Most pumpkin patches and corn mazes usually open by mid September, some earlier! You may also like a local zombie event or Zombie Paintball!. The world's best pumpkin pie recipe is here, and the pie crust recipe is here! And we have home canning, preserving, drying and freezing directions.

Keep in mind, many farms, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and Haunted Houses are trying to cope with rapidly changing state COVID requirements: ALWAYS see their own website, Facebook page or call them before you go.
NOTE: Many of the farms are dropping their websites and switching to Facebook pages - but they don't tell anyone, including search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo or us, or redirect their website, thus breaking all links to them. If a link is broken please click the "click here to report a broken link or blank page" so we can find the replacement link! Thanks!

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 "
