Fall in Middle Tennessee means hillsides bursting with brilliantly colored leaves and the opening of lots of farms across the mid-state where families can navigate corn mazes, pick pumpkins, play outside and pose for fall photos.
Take a road trip and discover some new rural Tennessee scenery and fun on the farm.
Some of these attractions may be cash-only for tickets, food, pumpkins and other items; others may require advance registration. Contact each farm directly for more information and updates.
