AlwAyS in SeASon Autumn in Georgia isn’t complete without indulging in apple-flavored goodies, exploring kid-friendly pumpkin patches, and celebrating the season at one of our bountiful harvest festivals. Start with a visit to Ellijay – the state’s self-proclaimed “Apple Capital” – home to U-pick orchards like B.J. Reece Orchards and Red Apple Barn . Time your trip to coincide with the Georgia Apple Festival in October, which honors the almighty apple with family-friendly arts and crafts, a lively parade, and a bounty of treats, of course. No matter where you are in Georgia, you’re sure to find a pumpkin patch or corn maze perfect for kids – and the young at heart. With six generations of history in the North Georgia mountains, Jaemor Farms in Alto puts on an annual Harvest Celebration mid-September through early November, where you can pick the perfect pumpkin and lose yourself in the corn maze all in one afternoon.
