Four Saturdays and two flashlight nights, that is the entire 2026 season — a $15 south Georgia corn maze and fall festival with a well-documented calendar and, notably, no pumpkin picking on the activity list.
$15 per person day or night; free for age 2 and under. Combined day/night pass $25 per person. Church groups of 10 or more pay $12 each with two chaperones admitted free. S'mores at the bonfire cost extra.
Rough cost for a family of four: about $60.00 in admission alone at the posted starting rate, before pumpkins, food, parking or any add-on listed above. Most families end up well north of that once they are through the gate.
Calhoun Produce runs the tightest fall season on our Georgia list, and it publishes it clearly, which is a better combination than it sounds. Four Saturdays in October, 11am to 4pm, plus two Flashlight Nights. That is the whole thing. There is no drifting out to see if they are open, no third-party blog quoting last year’s dates, no ambiguity.
What that clarity costs you is flexibility. Twenty hours of public daytime operation for an entire season means a rained-out Saturday is a quarter of your options gone, and it means the four dates carry all the demand a longer season would spread out.
The published activity list for this event does not include a pumpkin patch. It includes a corn maze, a kiddie maze, wagon rides, pig races, farm animals, a chicken coop, a honey bee house, a giant playground, a combine playground, a tricycle track, a duck race, a bonfire with s’mores, a sunflower field and a farm deli. That is a good fall festival. It is not, on the evidence available to us, a pumpkin patch.
We would rather tell you that than let you drive to Turner County with a child who has been promised a pumpkin. Call and ask, because farms do sell pumpkins without listing them, but do not assume.
$15 a head, day or night, with under-twos free. $25 for a combined day-and-night pass, which saves $5 a head if you were planning both. $12 a head for church groups of ten or more, with two chaperones free.
That is close to the whole cost. The only extra mentioned anywhere is s’mores at the bonfire. Compared with the farms that advertise $14.95 and then sell you $6 camel rides all afternoon, a $60 family-of-four gate price that stays roughly $60 is worth something on its own.
This is the place to correct a mental image. Turner County sits well south in the state, and an October Saturday here does not behave like an October Saturday in the north Georgia mountains. Early October in this part of the state is often still genuinely warm, and the operating window — 11am to 4pm — is the hottest five hours of the day.
Treat it like a summer outing that happens to have hay in it. Hats, sunscreen, more water than seems necessary, and get the maze done early rather than at 2pm.
The Flashlight Nights flip that completely. The same field that was hot at noon is cold at 10pm in the second half of October, and standing around a bonfire is a poor substitute for having brought a jacket. If you are doing the combined pass, you are effectively packing for two different days.
Two things about Flashlight Night. The first is the arrival instruction: the farm asks you to come an hour before the 7:30pm start, so plan for 6:30pm. That is the single most common way to get this wrong.
The second is that the deli operates on a different schedule at night — 5pm to 8pm on Flashlight Nights against 11am to 2pm on festival days. If dinner was part of the plan, that is your window.
One last note for 2026: the farm has cut this year’s maze in a design marking America’s 250th birthday, which is at least a more interesting reason to look at the aerial photo than most.
The season is October 10, 17, 24 and 31, Saturdays only, 11am to 4pm. That is twenty hours of daytime operation for the whole year, so the choice is narrower than at most farms. October 10 is the earliest and likely the least busy; October 31 is Halloween and will not be. The two Flashlight Nights are October 17 and 24 from 7:30pm to 10pm, and the farm asks you to arrive an hour early — so a 6:30pm arrival for a 7:30pm start. Weekdays are closed to the public and reserved for booked school field trips.
The day session is five hours from open to close and the farm has enough on it to fill three or four — two mazes, wagon rides, pig races, a duck race, two playgrounds, a tricycle track, animals and a sunflower field. The night session is two and a half hours and is essentially one activity: the maze in the dark, plus the bonfire.
Not documented, but the structure is unforgiving: four Saturdays, five hours each, for a region without many alternatives. Demand that would be spread over six weekends elsewhere is compressed into twenty hours here. Expect October 31 to be the busiest date by some distance and October 10 the calmest.
Not published. This is a working produce farm, so assume grass or gravel rather than pavement. South Georgia does get heavy autumn rain, and a soaked field parks badly.
You came for pumpkins. The published activity list for this event does not include a pumpkin patch or pumpkin picking at all — it is a corn maze and fall festival. If a pumpkin is the point of the trip, check with the farm before you build a Saturday around it.
Saturdays only: October 10, 17, 24 and 31, from 11am to 4pm. Flashlight Nights run on October 17 and 24 from 7:30pm to 10pm, with the farm asking visitors to arrive an hour early. Weekdays are reserved for booked school field trips.
$15 per person for either the day session or the night session, free for age 2 and under. A combined day-and-night pass is $25 per person. Church groups of ten or more pay $12 each with two chaperones admitted free. S'mores at the bonfire cost extra.
The published activity list for the fall event does not include one. What it does list is a corn maze, a kiddie maze, wagon rides, pig races, farm animals, a chicken coop, a honey bee house, two playgrounds, a tricycle track, a duck race, a bonfire and a sunflower field. Confirm with the farm if pumpkins are the reason you are going.
