    Southern Hills is one of Orlando’s most popular farms. It is super family friendly. From pumpkin patches, carnival rides, food trucks, sunflower picking and more. If you go I highly recommend the apple cider donuts! Fair warning, it does get busy so if you plan on going I would buy tickets in advance.
