It’s never too soon to think happy fall thoughts so Knoxville Moms has put together a full list of family-friendly pumpkin patches, corn mazes and other Halloween fun taking place across East Tennessee starting in September.

Awesome info! Especially for field trips! Thanks!
Does anyone know of a farm that lets you actually pick a pumpkin off a vine rather than a field where they just set out a bunch of pumpkins? We used to go to the Fruit and Berry Patch out in halls before they closed. They were the best
Kyker farms has pumpkins on the vine. We loved the fruit and berry patch too. Miss them.
Please include grain bin commodities in sweetwater to your list. They are wonderful family owned bakery and farm with corn maze and pumpkin patch plus all sorts of other fun things!!
