Celebrate the Harvest at Jaemor Farms

September has arrived, and with it comes the unmistakable energy of harvest season. The mornings turn crisp, the hillsides show their early autumn colors, and the anticipation builds for everything fall means at Jaemor Farms. For our family, harvest is about gathering together, celebrating the hard work of another growing season, and welcoming our community to share in the bounty of the land. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to a beloved tradition, there is no better way to experience fall in North Georgia than at our Harvest Celebration & Corn Maze.

The Heart of Fall: A Century of Harvest

For more than a hundred years, the Echols family has worked this land in the foothills of North Georgia. Since 1912, we have celebrated the turning of the seasons, and harvest time has always been our favorite. It is when we see the fruits of our labor, when the farm comes alive with activity, and when families create memories that last a lifetime. Our Harvest Celebration is our way of inviting you to be part of this tradition.

Get Lost in Our Corn Maze

There is something timeless about a corn maze. Whether you are racing against the clock, working as a team to solve the puzzle, or simply wandering through towering cornstalks with a child’s hand in yours, the maze is where laughter and a little friendly competition come together. Each year brings a new theme, so even returning visitors find themselves challenged anew. The maze is perfect for all ages and skill levels, and the best part? That triumphant feeling when you finally make it through.

More Than Just the Maze

Of course, our Harvest Celebration offers so much more. Hop aboard our authentic hay rides for a scenic 15-20 minute tour of the farm. It is a peaceful way to take in the fall landscape while learning about the crops and heritage of Jaemor. Kids and adults alike love the pumpkin train, and our farm slides, apple cannons, duck races, and petting zoo keep the energy high and smiles wide.

We also invite you to explore our pumpkin patch. Wheelbarrows are provided so families can gather pumpkins of every size and color, from tiny decorative gourds to massive carving pumpkins. Parents love the picture-perfect photo backdrops, and kids love the simple joy of picking their own.

Refuel with Harvest Flavors

After a morning of maze-navigating and farm exploring, you will build quite an appetite. Stop by the Eatery for a custom sandwich, hearty BBQ plate, or seasonal specialty. Everything is made to order, and many items feature ingredients grown right here on our farm. Do not forget to treat yourself to a fall-flavored milkshake or one of our seasonal desserts.

The Market is also full of harvest goodness. Grab a bag of warm boiled peanuts as soon as you walk in, then browse shelves stocked with vegetable soup bases, fresh fall produce, and our famous baked goods. It is the perfect place to stock up on everything you need to bring the flavors of Jaemor home with you.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Visit

Wear closed-toe shoes, as there is plenty of walking to do on the farm and through the maze. Dress in layers, as fall temperatures can swing throughout the day. Come hungry to enjoy everything the Eatery and market have to offer. Do not forget your camera, as fall colors, bright orange pumpkins, and farm backdrops create the perfect setting for family photos that you will treasure for years.
