Fall Farm Day at Pineola Farms - Peach County, Georgia

The Best Free Heritage Festival You May Never Have Heard Of

Fort Valley, Ga/USA

Nestled against a large grove of pecan trees in south Peach County, historic Pineola Farms is a window into the past. From the rustic elegance of the renovated Cotton Barn to the authenticity of the old-fashioned chicken coop, the farm is a throwback to a simpler, gentler time.

Determined to share the bounteous beauty of their home, Pineola Farms owners Paul and Delise Knight mount a free one-day heritage festival on the first Saturday of every October. A host of artisans, performers and demonstrators gather at the farm each year for the Fall Farm Day Festival. The focus is on families and on creating memories.

Although the Knights have been hosting a fall festival on their property for the better part of a decade, it is still one of the best-kept secrets in the festival world. With antique tractors, hit and miss engines and farm vehicles, the “little festival that could” is a delight for both adult and child visitors.

The festival features plowing demonstrations, a tractor parade, and all day hayrides. Each child is treated to his or her own free pumpkin, which they may paint at the popular pumpkin painting station. Entertainment includes music and a 1860s dance troupe. Food vendors include a chuck wagon, boiled peanuts, homemade desserts and Fresh Air Barbecue. Heritage artisans such as a rabbit hair spinner, a quilt maker, a potter and a tree ware bowl and trough crafter will demonstrate their crafts and sell their wares.
