Barbour Farms Country Store is one of those little hidden gems you can easily miss if you blink…read morewhile getting off I-75 in Byron, GA. My husband and I pass the signs at least once a week heading north to Macon and finally decided it was time to see what they had to offer. After turning off the highway, drive slow because this quaint little country store is tucked away just a block down the road on a corner lot. We parked in the grass beside the store and immediately noticed the rocking chairs out front filled with customers happily enjoying ice cream and cobbler. Honestly, that alone felt like a good sign. Inside, the store is small but packed with goodies. They had a produce section with fresh cucumbers, onions, sweet potatoes, and the first peaches of the season. Of course, I grabbed a little bit of everything. They also sell salsas, pecans, candies, homemade cobblers, ice cream, and plenty of other tempting Southern treats. The gentleman working there, who I assume was one of the owners, was incredibly friendly and proudly told us the peaches were the first of the season, juicy now but even better as the season goes on. Naturally, we bought some, and wow... they were some of the sweetest, juiciest peaches I've ever had. Grocery store peaches could never. I also picked up a jar of tequila salsa because I had never seen that before, and it ended up being fantastic, spicy with a really balanced flavor. Definitely something I'd buy again. Before leaving, we had to try the peach cobbler. Now, cobbler is usually my husband's thing, not mine, but this may have converted me. It tasted homemade, loaded with fresh peaches, and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet like many cobblers tend to be. They also offer blackberry cobbler or a half and half mix if you can't decide. Overall, we were really impressed with this little country store and will absolutely be back. If you're passing through Byron on I-75, I definitely recommend pulling over and giving Barbour Farms a try. Just don't blink or you'll miss it!

They're still ironing out a few tiny details, but honestly, I'm giving them a full-on 10/10!! Run, don't walk -- you have to check it out!!

The Robins AFB Commissary is a solid option for eligible shoppers, including Veterans and their…read moreimmediate family members with authorized family member IDs, as well as DoD civilians with a CAC showing employee status. Once you're eligible, commissary access is unlimited, which makes this a valuable perk for those who qualify. My husband and I tend to stick to the fresh produce, beverages, and frozen items, and for what we purchase, the prices are consistently cheaper than local grocery stores. The savings may not apply across every aisle, but for our staples, it's definitely worth the trip. The commissary also has a sizable bakery section. Everything always looks tempting and well-stocked, though I personally haven't tried any of the baked goods yet. I've only shopped here on Sundays due to their limited hours, but my husband often comes during the workweek and says it can get extremely busy, especially during peak times. Checkout options include self-checkout lanes as well as assisted checkout lines. The assisted lanes come with friendly cashiers and incredibly hardworking baggers--usually older women--who bag your groceries and insist on taking them out to your car and loading them for you. If you choose this option, be sure to bring cash for tipping, as opting out isn't really an option once you're in those lines. Because of this, many shoppers avoid assisted checkout altogether and prefer to wait longer at self-checkout so they can bag their own items. Overall, the prices are good, the selection is decent, and you can absolutely cover all your basic grocery needs here. If you're eligible to shop at the Robins AFB Commissary, it's a practical and budget-friendly choice, just plan your timing and checkout strategy wisely.

The commissary offers a wide selection of products, including salads, vegetables, beverages, personal care items, desserts, frozen entrees, meat, and poultry. Plenty of checkout areas exist; however, a waiting line forms, which becomes busy with service personnel and others attempting to avoid peak hours. Personnel are available to assist with bagging groceries and loading them into vehicles. A self-checkout option is also available to bypass lines. Disabled veterans and customers with disabilities are permitted early entry. Handicapped parking is limited, while regular parking is ample.

My wife bought several pounds of cracked pecans here and I have spent the past few days trying to…read morepick them out. The quality is poor with many undesirable (withered, dark colored or outright black and mouldy) pecans in the bunch. Their cracking machine did a poor job with many busted, burred up and incomplete pecans. Out of 10 lbs. of cracked pecans I may have gotten 2 quart bags. Would not get pecans here ever again. A lesson learned.

By the way, the previous reviewer had issues? Did he contact the business? Those were obviously not crack nuts from this business! When they crack and shell the nuts, your rarely have a nut remaining in even a piece of a shell.

Three years, that's how long I've been driving past the giant billboards for Lane Southern Orchards…read moreon I-75 telling myself "one day we should stop there." Well, this past Saturday my husband and I finally did. The entire property felt like a scene straight out of a Southern postcard. Families were out picking strawberries in the patch, people were relaxing in rocking chairs on the porch with ice cream cones, the café was buzzing, and the roadside market was full of shoppers loading up on goodies. The place was busy but somehow still relaxing. We started in the roadside market where I immediately grabbed one of the little carts because self-control clearly wasn't part of the plan. I stocked up on fresh produce, preserves, ciders, wines, and somehow convinced myself I "needed" adorable wooden earrings from a local artisan. We sampled a few local wines and naturally left with several bottles. The market also has gifts, souvenirs, and and entire section dedicated to dogs/ furry pets. After shopping we headed next door to the café for dessert. They offer cobblers, cakes, pies, homemade ice cream, and enough sweet treats to make you abandon every diet plan you've ever created. My husband is a peach cobbler enthusiast, so ordering their famous peach cobbler was mandatory. According to him, it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went with the peach pound cake and it was moist, buttery, and delicious. Their breakfast and lunch menu also looked really good. If I were road-tripping through the area, this would absolutely be a stop for a meal. It's also definitely going on my list of places to take guests when they come visit Middle Georgia. What really tied everything together was the staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and full of genuine Southern hospitality. Needless to say, we won't wait another three years before stopping again.
