The Pastures of Rose Creek features farm-to-table food lovingly produced on a spacious, idyllic 4th…read moregeneration family farm. They sell home-grown vegetables and fresh eggs, but their real claim to fame is their succulent grass-fed beef. The cows are free to roam the 345-acre property, and Pastures of Rose Creek raises them with no antibiotics, no hormones, and no harmful chemicals. But the proof is in the taste--once you try grass-fed, you simply won't go back! Their steaks are cut to order and make great gifts as well! When I was there, a family was buying a half cow to freeze for barbecues. That's how good it is :) Be sure to try their new Piedmontese beef as well--it has a unique "double muscling" which makes the beef have less cholesterol and fat than chicken while still having that unsurpassed tenderness and flavor. Definitely worth supporting a family farm and getting delicious farm-to-table freshness! They are also at the Watkinsville Farmers' Market on Saturdays, 8 am to 1 pm.

Strawberry fields forever!…read more I visited Elliot farms with my family to attend a birthday party for a friend of my little niece. The place is great! It's about a 20 minute drive from Macon, and offers all sorts of fun things for the kiddos... and for your inner child! The farm has horses, miniature horses (Li'l Sebastian!), cows, and goats -- they even had a brand new baby goat when we visited! You can feed the animals, play around the farm, get freshly churned strawberry ice cream, and, of course, pick your own strawberries! They have a little covered barn area where the actual birthday party took place, and the best part is that they have REAL bathrooms available for use -- cleverly disguised as old-school outhouses. They're cute. I'd highly recommend taking a trip out to Elliot Farms with the family any time. We had a great time and left with pints of strawberries to remember the trip by.

We booked online through Airbnb and ended up staying at the groovy cow yurt. It's a tent with air conditioned/ heater, WiFi, bathroom and shower outside with a small fridge, coffee maker and 1 bed. It's like camping but glamping. Hannah was quick to respond with any questions we had. Check-in was easy. Starts at 2:00 pm. Haylee was our cohost. She was very sweet and helpful. There are other yurts and 1 camper on the property but you have all the privacy you need on this big farm. You are out in the middle of nowhere so make sure to pack some food. There are rules you must follow. Please do not feed the animals regular food. They are on a special diet which they give you a bucket in your tent. The sheep are from Switzerland and their highland cows are from Scotland. They are super friendly and give you lots of affection. If you don't want to stay, you are able to book different activities with the animals , there are upcoming events, photography session, weddings and more! My fiancée and I spent a majority time with the sheep. Feeding and petting them. We got to meet the highland cows which was very cool. You are able to walk around the farm if you like. At the time, the llamas and donkeys were not out. At the end of the night, we were able to light a bonfire and relax. You have a beautiful view of the farm and the animals roaming around. In the morning you wake up and there they are. We slept good. The beds were comfortable, the shower outside was something I've never done and thought it was a neat experience to be out in nature. Having coffee with the sheep was also cool! To think I found this place and it's on the way to my parent's home in Augusta. I highly recommend you pay them a visit. They have a location in Georgia and Florida. We told them that we are coming back next year! I can't wait. You get your pet therapy and to spend the night at the farm? Yes! That's the life!

That made it must see experience when we came to town. We booked the Groovy Cow Yurt via Airbnb and couldn't wait to see all the animals. The staff were all super friendly and informative about all the animals. We loved spending time feeding and petting all of them. The yurt was very comfortable too with a nice big bed. The shower and bathroom amenities were outside of the yurt which took a little getting used to but we still liked. We especially loved having our morning coffee with all the goats. If you decide to stay, they have four different yurts and a camper you can stay in. They also offer a number of different activities with the animals even if you don't stay on the property. We definitely enjoyed our stay there and would absolutely stay there again.

Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable, and you can tell right away that they really care about the animals. I personally recommend the 1 hour public wagon ride experience. If you're worried (or scared) of animals potentially sticking their heads in your car, then this is the way to go. You also get a free bucket of feed as well as a tour guide (not only will they tell you about every animal you see, they'll also tell you which ones you can safely stick your hand out to feed). Tip: You will run out of feed quickly, so I recommend buying a few extra buckets (at least 3-4). You can get them cheaper by buying them online in advance ;)

It is a veritable botanical garden - there is way too much signage and art installed all over the place to not get distracted and cause you to pull out your phone to take some pics. Prices seem on par with Good Earth, Home Depot, Bedfords, etc. - a dollar or two more or less depending on what you are looking at. They did offer some different plants not seen elsewhere that we scooped up: Carolina, confederate, and West Indies jasmine and patriot hosta. If you are into gardening, this place is definitely worth a look in addition to other places. After a summer here, you'll discover that you need to go fishing for plants everywhere from flea markets to Krogers - each place seems to have their specials and different varieties.

As soon as I stepped out of the truck I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The farm was so quaint and serene, and the environment completely at peace. Walking into the store part of the farm was just like a smaller version of a farmers market. The peaches of course caught my husband's eye so we were definitely going to be taking some home on our way back out. There was so many different activities around the farm as they do big group trips and field trips for schools. We paid $11 for a gallon of hand picked strawberries and for pre-picked gallons they are $13. They will also be having a corn maze and pumpkin patch in the fall which we will have to be back for! Sunny day exceeded my expectations in what a farm should be like and I highly recommend making a family trip in the fall or for the berry season next year!!

I came here with my two kids to pick some blueberries and got so much more! We came at the end of blueberries season due to a threat of low crops, but honestly we got out with a full 1/2 gallon bucket for $8. You can do a gallon for $16. Just drive up and pay via QR Code Cash App, Venmo, PayPal or just drop cash in the drop box. Due to COVID they have pre- cleaned buckets in a section for grabbing along with hand sanitizer with entrance instructions. Once you leave there is a "dirty" pile for buckets after use. Along with there 30+ blueberry bushes, the have a large area of 8-10ft tall sunflowers and other flowers they can pick for you to bring home. They also have other product like squash and peas for purchase. There are plenty of photo opportunities, but again be respectful. At the end/bottom of the farm near the animals they have shaved ice, drinks and seating area to hang out. They also have shaded areas to sit at with tables around the property. For animals they have their personal livestock with donkeys, a llama, goats, ducks, roosters, hens, and a peacock. Please support this local farmer, Kasie, with her beautiful farm and keep small businesses thriving.
