Peebles Farm near Augusta offers fun, and pumpkins, for everyone!

Near Augusta, you’ll find Peebles Farm and Corn Maze. Opened to the public in 2005, the farm has become a regional favorite for families for outdoor fall fun. It’s a great place to go pick your own pumpkin, with 65 acres of pumpkins so you can find the PERFECT one. Explore the 16-acre, hand-cut sunflower-themed corn maze (during Friday and Saturday nights in October, the maze becomes “haunted"). Take a scenic wagon ride or do some “flying” on the zipline. Try your luck at the corn cannon or check out the duck races. Let the kids greet the animals in the barnyard then head to the playground for some more fun. And don’t miss the “hamster wheel” races! There's also a pea gravel pit, a tractor tire “serpent,” tunnels, swing slides, a pumpkin house and horse rides. Don’t forget to stop by the General Store, featuring a large variety of locally made items including jams and jellies, homemade candy, homemade soap and more.
