With fall in full swing, everyone needs a pumpkin or two to carve for the season. Rather than grabbing one at a local grocery store while you are running errands, why not make a day of it? Here are four farms where you can grab a pumpkin and maybe even go through a corn maze.
Libby’s Pumpkin Patch
Libby’s Pumpkin Patch not only has three acres covered with multiple different kinds of pumpkins, but it also has a lot of activities and food to buy. It has a corn maze, a hillside slide and pumpkin ice cream. Libby’s will also have different food vendors including A-Town Pies and Fries and Hot Diggity Dog Unlimited. The pumpkins range from $1-$7, and the farm is not far from Athens.

Food vendors that will stop by the farm include Smoke ‘em if You Got ‘em BBQ and Jocelyn’s Local Honey. Pumpkins are $8 for the largest ones and 50 cents for the smallest ones.
Sharp Farms

Weeklyville Pumpkin Farms
