Bradley’s Pumpkin Patch is offering something special this year and I wanted to let you know. On October 8, 2011, there will be a 2 hour demonstration where you can learn all about heirloom pumpkins. You’ll be able to save the seeds and take them home to plant. Also, Karen Weaver, Bradley’s mom, will be sharing lots of recipes. The cost is $15. While there for the demo, your family can
still participate in all the activities the farm has to offer.
In an article I wrote last year I told of Bradley Weaver, a fine young man, who has taken over the small family working farm. He’s in college now and studying agriculture, but still finds time to keep the farm busy year round. When you visit during harvest season you will find many varieties of pumpkins, take a hayride, a guided nature walk and even learn how to make soap. There is a gift shop with super fall and Halloween merchandise as well as a Refreshment stand. The weekend of Thanksgiving is when they start selling fresh Christmas trees. In the spring and summer they offer pre-Civil War Heritage daffodils and daylilies. Bradley’s Pumpkin Patch is a small friendly place to bring your family. You probably won’t find big crowds or tour buses. You’ll get personal attention.
Bradley has been featured in both the “Georgia” magazine and in “Taste of the South” magazine. He’s a true entrepreneur who loves what he’s doing and wants to share his love of nature with others.
The farm is located north on GA 400, west on Hwy 53, just 8 miles north of the Dawsonville Town Square on Hwy 183 at Mile Marker 5, on the left. You can call (770) 380-3636 for more information.
