Some days you just need to get the family out of the house, off the screens, and into something that actually feels like fall. That's exactly what we did when we loaded up and headed to Lyon Family Farms in Taft, Tennessee — and it was one of those outings where you're glad you made the drive.
We got there early, which I'd recommend. The morning light was beautiful, the crowds were still thin, and the whole place just had that crisp fall atmosphere you can't manufacture. By the time you're reading this, you might already know about Lyon Family Farms — they've been drawing families from all over the Tennessee Valley and North Alabama for years. But if this is your first time hearing about it, let me give you the rundown.

Early morning at Lyon Family Farms — the best time to arrive.
