Fun family activities abound during the fall, and you’ll find no shortage of festivals, corn mazes, and more. One of my favorite things to do in fall is visit a pumpkin patch in Georgia, and we have plenty of great ones to visit. Due to the climate, most pumpkin farms here are located in North Georgia’s cooler mountain air, but down towards our southern regions, you’ll find Poppell Farms, the largest pumpkin patch in South Georgia. It’s tucked away in Odum, a little town in Wayne County with a population of under 500. Poppell Farms is a great seasonal attraction that offers a summertime market, Christmas trees in the winter, and, of course, a wonderful pumpkin patch and other autumn activities during the fall months. The 2023 Fall Fest at Poppell Farms runs on weekends from September 30 through October 29, 2023. Check it out:

There are more than 20 family-friendly activities here that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy.
