Fall Fun at Cagle's Family Farm — Pumpkins & Corn Maze Near Canton
Looking for classic fall fun near Canton? Cagle's Family Farm offers pumpkin picking, corn mazes, pig races, sheepdog demos, and farm animals all season long.
A Fifth-Generation Farm Tradition Near Canton
When autumn sweeps across Cherokee County, there's one place families keep coming back to year after year: Cagle's Family Farm. Located just minutes from Canton at 362 Stringer Road in Holly Springs, this fifth-generation farm has been creating fall memories for more than two decades.
What started as a dairy operation over a century ago has blossomed into one of the area's favorite seasonal destinations. The Cagle family — Ben, Vicki, and their sons Clayton and Mica — welcome visitors to experience farm life the old-fashioned way, with modern-day fun woven throughout.
What to Expect at Cagle's Family Farm
The farm opens its gates each fall season from late September through early November. Admission includes access to a full lineup of activities that keep both little ones and older kids engaged for hours.
The corn maze is a centerpiece attraction, offering a genuine challenge for those who love a good puzzle. Younger children can tackle Micah's Mini Maze, designed just for smaller adventurers. Beyond the maze, visitors can pick their perfect pumpkin from the patch, meet farm animals at whimsically named spots like Cagle's Moo-tel and the Stop-N-Goat Station, and cheer on racing piglets during the popular pig races.
One of the farm's standout features is the sheepdog herding demonstration — you don't see that at most pumpkin patches. It's a genuine working-farm skill brought to life, and kids are fascinated watching the dogs do what they were born to do.
Tractor rides, yard games, bonfire gatherings, and live music round out the experience. For an extra fee, families can take a tractor ride out to Cagle's Lake to roast marshmallows by the bonfire, turning an afternoon visit into an evening memory.
Hours, Admission & Practical Details
For 2026, the farm is open on fall weekends: Fridays from 5–10 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m.–10 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. General admission is $15 for ages 3 and up and includes all activities. The tractor ride to the lake with marshmallows and bonfire access is an additional $5. Pumpkins are priced separately, so you can pick as many (or as few) as you'd like to take home.
The farm also welcomes school groups for weekday field trips, complete with educational demonstrations and hands-on activities. It's a popular outing for Canton-area schools looking to give students a taste of farm life and agricultural learning.
If you're curious about current hours or planning a group visit, the easiest way to check what your home is worth — wait, wrong link — the easiest route is off Highway 140 between Canton and Roswell; just follow the signs to Stringer Road. Parking is free and on-site.
