U-Pick Farms Near Dawsonville: Your Guide to Active Adult Fall Family Fun in North Georgia

The summer heat is still hanging around (and probably will be until we’re all wearing Halloween costumes), but that doesn’t mean we can’t start dreaming about crisp air, cozy sweaters, and all the fall fun that comes with it.

Owning a new ranch townhome in Silver Leaf, our active adult community in Dawsonville, puts you near some of North Georgia’s best U-Pick farms and fall fun. Think fun weekend adventures with the grandkids and peaceful days spent outdoors, making the most of the season.

Whether you’re searching for the perfect pumpkin, ready to get lost in a corn maze, or just want an excuse to roast s’mores (we’ve all been there), these U-Pick farms make it easy to get into the fall spirit.
