A visit to Burt's Pumpkin Farm is one of North Georgia's most beloved fall traditions. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains just outside Dawsonville and only minutes from Amicalola Falls, this family-owned farm has welcomed generations of visitors with the sights, sounds, and aromas of autumn for more than 50 years.

The farm's story began in 1972, when Johnny and Kathy Burt started growing pumpkins and selling them from their front yard near Amicalola Falls. What started as a small family venture has grown into one of Georgia's most popular fall destinations, while remaining true to its roots as a working family farm. Today, visitors can stroll through acres of colorful pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, and seasonal decorations that create a picture-perfect autumn landscape.

One of the highlights of every visit is the scenic hayride, which winds through the beautiful farm and surrounding countryside. Along the way, you'll enjoy sweeping views of pumpkin fields, colorful fall foliage, and the North Georgia mountains while learning about the farm's history and traditions. It's a relaxing ride that captures everything people love about the autumn season.

No visit is complete without stopping at the farm bakery, where the irresistible aroma of fresh-baked treats fills the air. Guests can enjoy homemade pumpkin bread, pumpkin rolls, pies, cookies, apple cider, and other delicious baked goods prepared from treasured family recipes. The country store also offers unique gifts, seasonal decorations, local products, and more than 20 varieties of pumpkins ranging from tiny decorative gourds to giant carving pumpkins.
