Making fall traditions and family memories are easy in Tennessee during the month of October for young and old alike. A perfect family outing is one that includes fun activities, apple cider, barnyard adventures, a corn maze and picking a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. If you live in the Nashville, Franklin or Murfreesboro area, you owe it to yourself to go to the farm that has it all in October entertainment. The name is Lucky Ladd Farms; it is just a thirty minute drive from Nashville and will be well worth the time spent and many family memories will be made.


The following tips will be helpful when you are picking your pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. When picking your pumpkin from the patch, make sure to pick one that is still on the vine and free of any soft spots that can indicate rot or mold. Pick out the correct size of pumpkin that you need for your purpose. If you are baking a pumpkin pie, then a smaller one should be chosen and a bigger one would be good for carving. The stem should still be in tact and the base should be firm and solid. Don’t ever carry your pumpkin by the stem because you will take the risk of breaking the stem off before you even get it home. When you have picked out the perfect pumpkin it will be time to go back to your Murfreesboro home and start carving your jack-o-lantern.

When you are finished carving your jack-o-lantern, you can roast the pumpkin seeds over the fire of your wood burning fireplace while sipping some apple cider. Have a great time with your family this October and enjoy every minute of the brisk fall weather and being together.

October is one of the most popular months for family activities like going to haunted houses, corn mazes and simply enjoying the fall weather. The leaves are changing and falling to the ground, the temperature gets a little cooler; the Tennessee hills and scenery come to life with autumn beauty within these conditions. If you already live in Tennessee or if you are looking for a home here, there are various types of family entertainment to be discovered.

Corn mazes are especially fun for the family because of the intricate design that is involved inside the maze. They have been in existence for a relatively long time and some of them are quite complex. The farmers that make these corn mazes have to create the art piece with a special variety of corn that is strong enough to withstand the foot traffic.

Haunted houses and hayrides are another great option for family entertainment during the month of October. Some of the attractions have activities for small children, as well as the older ones, like petting zoos and pumpkin picking. When you take your family to any of these events in Tennessee during these fall months, it is advised to dress appropriately and take along some bug spray, just in case. Old walking shoes are recommended because there could be a chance of foul weather that could make the corn maze a little muddy.

Beautiful homes are available for purchase in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Shelbyville and the surrounding area if you are in the process of relocating. Imagine living in an estate that is enclosed by an old brick wall for the privacy and feel of royalty. The magnificent five bedroom, four full bath with an in ground pool and guest house is located in Davidson county and could be your dream home.
