Dawsonville

Cold Creek Farm is a working barn wedding venue on Shoal Creek Road, run by Jeff and Susan Buffington across rolling acres that still keep horses. The property blends rustic North Georgia scenery — indoor and outdoor spaces, pasture views — with full wedding services rather than operating as a pick-your-own farm.

Dawsonville

Herron Farms runs as a small, self-sustaining organic operation on Hickory Trail West outside Dawsonville — rabbits, laying hens, honeybees, and a vermicomposting business selling red worms and African nightcrawlers wholesale for bait and garden beds. It's a family-run mini farm rather than a tourist destination, built around sustainable practices instead of a gift shop. Eggs and honey are sold direct from the property.

Dawsonville

Bradley's Pumpkin Patch grows its own pumpkins on Lawrence Drive and sells them straight off the field, then switches to choose-and-cut Fraser fir Christmas trees in winter and daylilies in spring. A corn maze and country gift shop stocked with homemade jams, salsas, and local honey round out the fall visit. Family visits are free; school and group field trips get discounted rates.

Dawsonville

Hell's Gates isn't a farm at all — it's an outdoor haunted-house attraction built on church property at 329 Harmony Church Road, with eight staged scenes involving live actors, pyrotechnics, and stunt effects. It runs seasonally out of Lighthouse Baptist Church facilities each fall, marketed as an alternative to Atlanta's indoor haunted houses. Whoever tagged this as agritourism was working from the address, not the actual business — worth flagging if accuracy matters to the listing.

Dawsonville

Fausett Farms has worked the same Dawsonville land since 1858, spending 60 years in poultry before switching to sunflowers in 2011. The family now grows upward of 900,000 blooms across the property near Amicalola Falls, with peak season running mid-September through mid-October and $10-per-carload admission.

The main restaurant serves farm-to-table dishes; a second spot on the property, Trattoria di Montaluce, focuses on handmade pasta and brick-oven pizza. Hours run late — Friday and Saturday seating goes to 10 p.m. — and the estate is a working winery first, restaurant second.

Cumming

Hopewell Sunflower Farm grows u-pick sunflower fields on Hopewell Road in Cumming, about 50 minutes north of Atlanta, with blooms peaking in August on a roughly ten-day cycle.

Ball Ground

Fresh Farm Beef and Blueberries, on Old Federal Road in Ball Ground, sells exactly what its name promises: pick-your-own blueberries alongside farm-raised beef.

Dahlonega

About 190 blueberry bushes grow on this small u-pick operation north of Dahlonega, with picking season running roughly July 5 through August 5 depending on the year's weather. It's a modest, family-run setup — no gift shop, no hayride, just rows of bushes and a bucket. Call before driving out; hours shift with the harvest, and a late frost or an early-picked patch can end the season faster than the calendar suggests.

Dahlonega

Three Sisters calls itself Dahlonega's founding family farm winery, pouring estate-grown wine from a tasting room built around a hand-carved cherry wood bar and Southern folk art.

Outdoor seating looks over the vines toward the mountains, and the property also rents out for weddings and private events.

Ellijay

Reece's Corn Maze is the fall centerpiece of B.J. Reece Orchards, a family-owned apple farm in the North Georgia mountains. The maze runs alongside apple picking each September and October, plus hayrides, a petting farm, pony rides, apple cannons, and a u-pick pumpkin patch.

Dahlonega

Canton

Berry Barn is on North Lake Drive in Canton, in Cherokee County north of Atlanta. It's tagged as a produce and agritourism stop, with the name pointing to berries as the specialty, but no working website or social page turned up to confirm current varieties, u-pick season, or hours.

Cleveland

This White County wildlife park in Cleveland, also operating as North Georgia Wildlife Park, is built around hands-on animal encounters rather than roadside-zoo viewing: paid sessions with otters, capybaras, sloths, Scottish Highland cattle, and honey badgers, plus VIP and splash-style experiences. It also runs zoo camps, scout overnight stays, school programs, and birthday parties, with a gift shop and season-pass memberships on site.

Jasper

It's about an hour north of Atlanta, close enough for a day trip, far enough to feel like the country.

Clermont

Roberts Family Blueberry Farm grows organic blueberries in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, with u-pick season running mid-May through mid-September most years. A gallon runs about $15, ready-picked berries less, and the farm also sells its own blueberry syrup and dressing. It's a working family operation on Clarks Bridge Road — no frills, just bushes, buckets, and berries handled the way a small farm handles them.

Ellijay

Family-owned creamery on Cleveland Highway built on its own dairy, Glo-Crest, where 210 Holsteins are milked twice a day. The all-natural, non-homogenized dairy products come straight off that herd, and farm tours are available with 24 hours' notice. It's a working dairy operation first, ice cream stop second — the kind of place where the cows in the pasture are the reason the milk tastes different.
