Pumpkin Patch at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market

The Pumpkin Patch is back at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market on Saturday, October 17, from 8:30 AM to 12 PM. It's one of the fall offerings of the market, which runs every Saturday morning at The Cathedral of St. Philip in Buckhead. The patch itself is the center of the morning—pumpkins, cornstalks, and hay bales—so it's a good spot to pick out a pumpkin and get a few photos while the weather is still holding up.

If you're bringing kids, there's a Paint-a-Pumpkin Station courtesy of Acton Academy. Tradition donates free pumpkins to paint for the first 50 children, and there's a free Fall Photo Backdrop on hand for the inevitable family pictures. The wider market gathers more than 70 local vendors, with live music, a chef pop-up, a children's area, and a playground to keep the little ones busy while you shop. There's also extra free parking in the garage across the street, which makes getting in and out a lot easier than hunting for a spot on the road.

Tradition runs the market and describes it as a one-stop shop for the holidays, offering design, delivery, installation, and removal services for the inside and outside of homes and businesses. On the shopping side, SNAP/EBT is accepted, and benefits are doubled on fresh fruits and vegetables up to $50 weekly. The Pumpkin Patch runs Saturday, October 17, from 8:30 AM to 12 PM at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market, inside The Cathedral of St. Philip, 2744 Peachtree Rd, Atlanta, GA 30305.
