5 Family-Friendly Activities at Jaemor Farms This Fall
Fall in North Georgia is something special. The cooler temperatures, vibrant foliage, and the aroma of fried apple pies create the perfect backdrop for making memories with the ones you love. At Jaemor Farms in Alto, GA, fall isn’t just a season. It’s an experience. Whether you’re planning a weekend outing, a field trip, or a spontaneous family adventure, we’ve got five activities that bring out the very best of autumn fun.
Here are five family-friendly fall favorites you can enjoy at Jaemor Farms this season:
1. Get Lost (on Purpose!) in the Corn Maze
No fall visit to Jaemor is complete without a stroll, or race, through our annual corn maze. Each year, we design a brand-new maze theme to keep things fresh, fun, and just challenging enough for kids and adults alike. Whether you’re racing your way through the maze or just enjoying the laughter and fresh air, the corn maze is a memory-maker for the whole crew.
Tip: Try coming early in the day or late in the afternoon to beat the crowds and get those golden-hour photos among the stalks.
2. Pick the Perfect Pumpkin from the Patch
Rows and rows of pumpkins, all shapes and sizes, stretch across our pumpkin patch just waiting to go home with you. Whether your family’s tradition is carving jack-o’-lanterns or decorating your porch with the prettiest gourds you can find, there’s no better place to find the one than right here at the farm.
Many families make the patch their first stop of the day. Snap a few family photos among the pumpkins, then grab a wagon to haul your favorites to the car. Don’t forget to check out the decorative pumpkins and gourds in the market for even more autumn flair.
3. Let the Kids Loose on the Farm Slide
There’s something magical about seeing your kids’ eyes light up as they zoom down the farm slide. It’s one of the most popular attractions during our Harvest Celebration season, and for good reason. The big slide is a safe and exciting way for little ones to burn off energy while you relax nearby with a fresh apple cider slushie or a cup of boiled peanuts.
Even if you’ve been to Jaemor before, the smiles at the bottom of the slide never get old.
4. Take a Hayride Through the Foothills
Looking for a slower pace? Climb aboard one of our hayrides for a scenic tour around the farm. From the back of our farm tractors, you’ll get a view of Jaemor’s rolling hills, changing leaves, and fall crops. You might even see a few surprises along the way. Hayrides are a great way to unwind between activities and give the whole family a chance to enjoy the farm’s beauty together.
Parents love the photo ops, and kids love the bumpy ride. We call that a win-win.
5. Indulge in Seasonal Treats at The Eatery
When hunger hits, you’re in the right place! Head to The Eatery, our farm-fresh food spot serving up flavorful sandwiches, seasonal specialties, homemade milkshakes, and more. Pair your meal with a crisp apple cider slushie or a swirl of soft serve ice cream for the ultimate treat.
Bonus: Don’t leave without visiting the Bakery inside Jaemor Farm Market, where seasonal treats await. Stock up on fresh fried pies, warm apple fritters, pumpkin bread, or our famous pumpkin whoopie pies to take a little taste of fall home with you.
The fall fun doesn’t stop there. Around the farm, you’ll find activities for all ages, from tricycle races and roller bowler to the always-popular pumpkin train. Challenge your crew to a game of farm baseball or farm basketball, or test your aim with the apple cannons. Before you head out, be sure to try our newest attraction, the Dizzy Peach spin chairs, for one last laugh.
