Falcon Ridge Farm Fall Festival Runs Through Oct. 31
The Falcon Ridge Farm Fall Festival is back for another season near Toone, giving families in Hardeman County, Middleton and across the Tippah County line a short drive to hayrides, a pumpkin patch, pig races and a corn maze through Saturday, Oct. 31. The family-run farm on Highway 18 North has hosted the harvest celebration since 2009, and its owners say they are now welcoming a second generation of visitors.
The 240-acre working farm sits on Highway 18 North near Toone in northern Hardeman County. The farm grows fruits, vegetables, flowers and Christmas trees, and it hosts school field trips during the season.
What’s New at the Falcon Ridge Farm Fall Festival
This year’s corn maze carries an America 250 theme tied to the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary. According to The Magnolia Post, visitors work their way out of the maze by answering civics questions correctly, so a little U.S. history knowledge comes in handy.
The farm’s pig races are also back, with pigs named Jimmy Dean, Squealy Nelson, Elvis Pigley, Snoop Hoggy Hog and Taylor Swine. They race for Oreo cookies, not a trophy.
Owner Bart Gilmer told The Magnolia Post that seeing families enjoy the farm is his favorite part of the season. He said some children who once came on school field trips are now returning as parents with their own kids.

Christmas Trees After Halloween
