FALL
FUN at its Finest THE 2020 FALL SEASON was unpredictable for families like the
Stills, who operate Still Family Farm in Powder Springs. But once the
pumpkin weekend fall fun operation opened last September, the crowds
came, with more than 1,000 visitors per day throughout the season.
This year, the expectations are more tempered with so many more
options open and available for fall entertainment. But the Stills are making
preparations to open the farm starting on Sept. 18 as families throughout
Cobb County and beyond catch the fall fever, get outside to enjoy the
beautiful fall colors and outdoor adventures.
Stephanie Still Davis, marketing director for Still Family Farm,
called the farm’s fall activities the family’s “heart project” because they all
have other full-time jobs, including a family construction company.
However, they work together to keep the fall operation enjoyable,
targeting families with kids who are ages 12 and younger with plenty of
fall activities, including a 25-minute hayride that meanders through the
neighboring woods.
“We are one of the smaller operations,” Still Davis said. “We are your
boutique property. We really focus on the customer experience and
connecting with people.”
It’s also all about having an enjoyable family outing from the pump
duck races to a five-acre flower maze to human-sized hamster wheels.
“If you’re a parent, you can just plop down at a picnic table and put
your head on a swivel as they do a bunch of activities,” Still Davis said.
“It’s not so big that you lose track of your kids. It’s really good for the
younger family.”
