Old Baker Farm

This HARPERSVILLE farm endured the Civil War and stands today as a traditional family farm managed by a fourth-generation family member, Jerry Baker and his wife, Pam. The Baker family invites the public to join them each October for the Cotton Pickin’ Celebration with its pumpkin patch, hay rides and more, and in November and December visitors come out for the Christmas tree farm with acres of Leyland Cypress and Virginia Pine trees. oldbakerfarm.com
