Kinsey Family Farm
7170 Jot-em Down Road
Gainesville GA 30506
Info: 770-887-6028
The farm is open to the public every day during October to come and enjoy the fall weather. You can come relax outside in the fresh air, take a scenic hayride around the farm, and then fire off a few rounds from our apple cannon! In the barn you will likely find all of the seasonal crops you are looking for including thousands of pumpkins of all sizes, shapes, and colors. The farm hosts pumpkins ranging in size from the one pound "Jack-Be-Little" to the one hundred pound "Prize Winner" and everything in between.
In addition to your typical orange pumpkins they also provide red, white, and green (although some declare these to be more of a "brushed nickel") pumpkins. You will also find gourds, corn stalks, indian corn, straw bales, seasonal flowers and much more!!!

The fourth annual Pumpkin Patch, planned at Wills Park in Alpharetta, will help Canine Assistants, a non-profit organization that raises and trains service dogs for children and adults with special needs.
The Pumpkin Patch – Oct. 4-5 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. – will feature pumpkins of all sizes for sale along with Indian corn, gourds, corn stalks, and painted Halloween yard signs.
In addition, several children's activities will be available including: Wayne's Train which will take riders on a fun-filled ride around the park, inflatable slides, bake sale, children's face painting, carnival games and a creepy candy stand.
The Pumpkin Patch will also highlight several Canine Assistants dogs-in-training dressed for Halloween. In addition, there will be service dog demonstrations throughout each day so the community can learn more about the 90-plus commands the service dogs are trained to perform.
Canine Assistants, an Alpharetta organization founded in 1991, has graduated more than 700 service dogs from the program and has placed them free of charge with physically disabled individuals. It takes over $16,000 to raise and train each dog, accomplished through corporate sponsorships and private donations.
The Pumpkin Patch will be held at Wills Park Equestrian Center located on Wills Road.
