The Grimes Brief
Center Grove Orchard near Cambridge, about a half hour north up I-35, is a 20-acre apple orchard with pick-your-own pumpkins, a large corn maze that changes each year, hayrides, farm animals, a jumping pillow, and dozens of attractions. A classic full-day fall outing.
Howell's Greenhouse and Pumpkin Patch near Cumming, south of the metro, is a longtime family farm with pumpkin picking, an eight-acre corn maze, u-pick flowers, wagon rides, baby goats, and a kids' play area.
Both are seasonal, roughly late September through October, and busiest on fall weekends. Confirm hours and any admission before you go.
The Grimes Brief carries the seasonal calendar and what's worth your time, free every Monday.
Grimes does not have a full pumpkin patch of its own, but Center Grove Orchard to the north and Howell's to the south are each a short drive away.
Free, every Monday 7 AM
