A great place to visit. The kids definitely enjoy every minute looking at pumpkins of different kinds and the hayride. Not sure about all the staff at the counters but the one who served us did not show the appropriate attitude when she did not see us buy as many pumpkins as she might expect. We simply did not pick many because we were thinking of coming back at a later date closer to the Halloween... But overall, it is really a must-visit place!
Another beautiful fall day at Burt's Pumpkin Farm. My entire family has been making the yearly voyage to Burt's for as far back as I can remember. This year was the most crowded I have ever seen. We could barely make our way around and could not enjoy any of the attractions (ex. Hayride). Aside from the crowds it was fine. A vast array of beautiful pumpkins, gourds and fall deliciousness to choose from. Definitely a place to stop if you are making your way through Dawsonville.
My recent visit to Burt's farm was spoiled by another gun-toting enthusiast.The website says pets and guns are not allowed. I guess this isn't enforced.
We have been going to Burt's for 30 years! It has definitely grown and become a little too commercialized, we still enjoy all they have to offer. Thanks for all you do!
It's ok if you need to get some really big or odd colored/shaped pumpkins. Sales staff seem tired, certainly not enthusiastic. Products too pricey. Hayride with 'covered bridge' (more like a hut) is really dull. No narration so what are we seeing?Not accessible friendly. Won't be back. Can't recommend.
We came across Burts Farm as we were leaving Amicalola Falls. I'm so glad we decided to stop. It was free to get in unlike a lot of the other attractions. The products were affordable and we had a great time exploring all the varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squash. The popcorn was fantastic and a must!! We got the cheddar bacon yum! The boiled peanuts could have cooked longer but all in all a great value and lots of fun memories were made!
Wife and I went today for a Sunday drive. I really expected a lot more. The traffic at 2pm on Sunday was terrible; I guess this is expected for a fall attraction. Parking was tight but we found a spot. They have some cool pumpkins and good pumpkin bread. After that, I can't really say there was anything else to do here. The line for the hay ride was over 1 hour and I read in another review it wasn't that great. It does kind of have a faux farm feel. I really don't know what the deal is with Georgia and how it tries to create atmospheres like Germany(Helen) and a pumpkin patch, but to me they just don't really capture the vibe. We used to go on hayrides in upstate SC around Gaffney and they were way better than this. On the plus side, it's real close to Amicoloa Falls so it's not like you are wasting a trip out here.
Burt's Farm is the best destination in the fall of the year. There are thousands of pumpkins, gourds, fall goodies like Carmel apples and popcorn, and many photo opportunities for your friends and family. So gab a brightly colored wheelbarrow, and your closest friend, and go out searching for the perfect orb. This is Memories in the making.
What a surprise. We had no idea this jewel was right around the corner from apple country. Well worth the stop to see the "sea" of pumpkins in every size, color, and shape.
It's always a good family fun time there. We go every year. Lots of pumpkins, Hay Rides, Family Picture places, food, items for purchase.
