It's that time again!

That sweater, boots, coffee, and pumpkin time is almost here! And with the warm clothes and drinks comes not only fall but another season- pumpkin patch and corn maze season! Spending my weekends on hayrides at a corn maze is one of my favorite things to do, so I figured I would share some of my favorite farms with you all and all that they have to offer! Ranging from the southern to the northern areas of East Tennessee, I've made a list of five of the best farms and included all of their info, prices, and things to do!
