Jaemor is the farm market North Georgia drives to — open year-round with peaches, apples, and fried pies depending on the season, about twenty minutes up Highway 365 from Gainesville. Come fall, weekends add a six-acre corn maze with a farm slide, apple slingshot, duck races, and hayrides. The market run is a quick stop; the fall weekends are the full outing.
