Madrac Farms Pumpkin Patch

📍 580 Ralph Rahn Road, Rincon, GA 31326🗓 Season dates not yet published for 2026🏷 From $13/person

A solid, well-equipped pick-your-own patch 30 minutes north of Savannah with a genuine 5-acre maze — but it takes payment on site only, has a hard arrive-by-5pm cutoff, and had not posted a 2026 schedule when we last checked.

2025 season: $13 per person, $10 for military, first responders and seniors 60+, free for age 3 and under. Payment is taken on site only - there is no advance online ticketing. Pumpkins are NOT included and run roughly $2 to $100; animal feed is 50 cents; extra corn cannon shots cost extra.

Rough cost for a family of four: about $52.00 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.

Our take

The most important thing to say about Madrac Farms is what we could not find. As of late August 2026, the farm’s own site was still serving 2024 content, and no 2026 season dates or prices had been posted anywhere readable. That is not unusual for a small weekend operation — many post their schedule in the first week of September — but it means everything below is pattern rather than promise.

What that pattern looks like: a late-September opening, a late-October close, Saturdays 10am to 6pm and Sundays noon to 6pm. The 2025 gate price was $13 per person, $10 for military, first responders and seniors 60 and over, and free for children 3 and under.

Two rules that will catch you out

Payment is taken on site only. There is no advance online ticketing, which in 2026 is genuinely unusual and means you cannot lock in a slot or check availability from the car.

And you must be on the farm by 5pm. The published closing time is 6pm both days, but the gate stops admitting at 5pm. A family that leaves Savannah at 4:30 expecting to squeeze in an hour will be turned around at the entrance.

What you get for the money

Thirteen listed attractions, and the mix is better than the price suggests: a 5-acre corn maze, a pick-your-own pumpkin patch, corn cannons, a haunted corn maze, hay rides, a 13-foot wooden slide you take on a potato sack, bounce houses, barnyard bikes, a corn pit, a tire playground, goat and chicken feeding, face painting and a giant pumpkin photo op.

The pick-your-own patch is worth calling out, because it means the pumpkins are on the ground where they grew rather than stacked on pallets, and kids notice the difference. What is not included is the pumpkin itself — those run from about $2 up to $100 depending on size, and animal feed is 50 cents a go. Extra corn cannon shots also cost extra. None of these are large sums individually, and collectively they are how a $52 family gate charge becomes $80.

Coastal Georgia timing

Rincon is 30 minutes north of Savannah and squarely in the coastal plain. Late September is still hot and humid here, and the region is in hurricane season into October, which is a real risk to a weekend-only farm with a four-or-five-weekend window. Mid-to-late October is both cooler and drier. If the farm posts a season that starts in September, the later weekends are the better bet on every axis except availability.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The farm had not published 2026 dates as of late August 2026 — its own website was still serving the 2024 season. Historically it has opened in late September and closed in late October, Saturdays 10am-6pm and Sundays 12pm-6pm. The rule that matters more than the closing time is the admission cutoff: you must be on the farm by 5pm to be let in. Effingham County in late September is still hot and humid, and coastal Georgia is in hurricane season into October, so a mid-to-late October Saturday morning is the sensible target.

How long to budget

Two and a half to three hours. There are thirteen things on the list and most of them are quick, but the corn maze and the pumpkin patch together will take an hour.

Crowds

A short weekend-only season serving the whole Savannah metro. Saturday afternoons will be the crush; the Sunday noon opening is usually the easier slot.

Parking

Not documented. This is farm ground in Effingham County, so assume grass or sand rather than pavement. Coastal Georgia gets heavy rain in September and a wet field here will be soft going.

What to bring

  • Payment you can hand over at the gate — no online tickets exist, so turn up ready to pay on site
  • Small change for animal feed, which is 50 cents
  • Serious bug spray. This is coastal Georgia farmland and the mosquitoes at dusk are not a joke
  • Sun protection and more water than you think; late September here is still summer

How to spend less here

  • 2025 rates were $13 per person, $10 for military, first responders and seniors 60+, and free for age 3 and under — treat those as a guide, not a guarantee, until the farm posts 2026 prices
  • Budget for pumpkins separately. They run roughly $2 to $100 and are not included in admission, so a family that assumed otherwise will be surprised at the exit
  • Extra corn cannon shots cost extra — set a limit with the kids before you get to the cannon, not after

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families with kids roughly three to ten — bounce houses, a corn pit, barnyard bikes, a tire playground, the wooden slide and goat feeding are all in that band
  • People who actually want to pick a pumpkin off the ground rather than off a pallet; this is a pick-your-own patch
  • Savannah-area families who want a short drive and a real farm rather than a parking-lot pumpkin stand
  • Anyone who enjoys a corn cannon, which is one of the few attractions here aimed at teenagers and adults

Skip it if

You cannot pay in person or cannot arrive before 5pm. There is no advance online ticketing at all — payment is taken at the gate — and the 5pm admission cutoff means a late-afternoon impulse trip does not work. Also skip it if you assumed a pumpkin was included; it is not.
