Georgia Pumpkin Patches for a Smashing-Good Time

If you ask me, fall doesn’t officially start until there is a pretty pumpkin dressing your front stoop. And a pumpkin from the grocery store won’t do – you need the memories and excitement of picking that gem from a great pumpkin patch Georgia residents love.

Sometimes you need just the right type of patch for your family. Is that an intimate u-pick in North Georgia on a weekend? Or an adventure-packed occasion with pumpkins, rides, games and more located near the city? Georgia has them all!

Here are 15+ of the absolute best pumpkin patches in Georgia that you're going to want to check out this fall.
