September is flying by, so that means October, AKA the peak of spooky season, will be here before people know it. Flannels will start coming out of boxes, leaves will start changing and pumpkins will start finding their place on people's porches. You can head to this pumpkin patch farm in Georgia to get a normal jack-o-lantern, or even head home with a whopping 150-pound one.
Burt's Pumpkin Farm is located in Dawsonville, Georgia, in the northern part of the state. It's located right in the middle of the mountains, so you'll not only have a fun fall adventure, but you'll have incredible views, too.
The farm is known for its seasonal goodies, and during fall, the pumpkins are the star of the show. The owners, Johnny and Kathy Burt, sell about 50 to 70 acres of pumpkins per year, according to the official website.
