Hamlin Hills Farm (Forsyth, GA)
About 25 minutes north of Macon, Hamlin Hills is a fall dream. The rustic setup and farm store make it a great weekend outing. They sometimes switch up their fall activities, so it’s worth checking their website before you go.
Lane Southern Orchards (Fort Valley, GA)

Just west of Macon, Dickey Farms is one of the oldest farm stops around. In the fall, it turns into a full harvest celebration with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, and delicious homemade ice cream. It’s a great spot for families or anyone who wants that classic small-town fall experience.
Green Acres Farm (Cochran, GA)
If you don’t mind a little drive, Green Acres Farm in Cochran is worth the trip. It’s got all the fall favorites—pumpkin picking, hayrides, a corn maze, and farm animals. It’s a bit quieter than the bigger farms, so it’s great if you’re looking for a more relaxed day out.
