REVIEW: Our Visit to Jaemor Farms Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch

Open now until November 8th!

By Amie Esposito & Tara Holland- Publishers, Canton-Woodstock-Cumming & Flowery Branch Macaroni Kid October 21, 2015
This past weekend my kids and I visited Jaemor Farms for our annual Fall Family Fun. We have had an annual tradition of visiting many corn mazes, pumpkin patches & orchards in the N. Georgia Mountains since my kids were babies. We typically visit the Ellijay or Blue Ridge areas. When I found out about Jaemor Farms I had to give this one a shot and I must say...... I was pleasantly surprised by everything ....all day! 

The staff at Jaemor Farms were so friendly.  Upon our arrival, they helped us get set up and ready with our All Access Passes which gave us unlimited access to the Corn Maze, Pumpkin Patch, Hay Ride, Pumpkin Train ride, Farm Slide, Apple Cannon (this is limited to one 6-shot visit per person), Skeeball, Duck Races and the Petting Zoo.

We hit the Corn Maze first. 
Throughout the maze there are stops you can learn about different football facts.

We enjoyed shooting the Apple Cannons (with the All Access Pass each person gets 6 shot with the Apple Cannon). I let the kids split my 6 shots. 

They loved sliding down the Farm Slide which is basically a huge tube slide! Adults and kids can ride. 

Over at the Petting area the kids were able to feed the pigs and goats. 

We took rides on the Pumpkin Train and  a Hay Ride at the end of the day. 

Jaemor Farms offers more than your average Pumpkins as well. Do you see these GINORMOUS Pumpkins????
Overall I would recommend allotting yourself at minimum 4 hours to enjoy everything. We were there for 4.5 and that is really pushing it if you want to leisurely enjoy the Pumpkin Train, Hay Ride and all the other activities.

Of course you must stop at the market to get fresh fruits, veggies as well as meats, milk, eggs, fresh baked breads, bakery items and homemade ice cream and pies! The market itself I could've easily spent an hour in! There was so much to choose from. 

We will definitely be back!
