My wife and I arrived on a warm October day to enjoy the pumpkin patch and U-pick flowers. We arrived in the afternoon, but there was plenty of selection and nothing was "picked over." I paid $16 for a quart sized plastic vase for my U-pick flowers. They sell gallon sized buckets as well. Scissors and water are provided. Be mindful of bees in the field. They won't trouble you if you don't trouble them. There is an area in the back for you to arrange the flowers; I took full advantage of this because this trip doubled as a photo shoot. There were all types of people enjoying the farm; IG girls, families, even one couple using a wagon full of pumpkins as a baby announcement. Pumpkins range from $5-$20 each depending on size and breed. A nice young man named Luke helped us corral our pumpkins and carry them to our car. I didn't know they offered that service, but we tipped well. If you run up an appetite, they have a snack bar with fritters, ice cream, and lemonade. I'll be back next fall!

Parking was calm and plentiful and we weren't bumping into other strawberry pickers left and right. It costs about $20 for a large bucket (which you get to keep) and you pay $1 per person to access the fields. We feared we may have missed peak season but there were still plenty of ripe strawberries to choose from. It is also well organized with the staff directing where folks should go. After we picked our buckets worth, we grabbed a huge fresh lemonade from a parked truck, did some shopping in the cute store, and got a strawberry ice cream. I have to admit this was a bit of a disappointment especially based on all of the rave reviews. To us it tasted like it was pre-packaged and came from the freezer. The strawberries were frozen/rock solid and while they were plentiful it would have been great if they were softer or appeared as though it was fresh churned. Otherwise we really enjoyed the experience and can't wait to go back for picking other fruits throughout the year.

I booked our experience directly through the website: (when you book, I advice you to do it as well to avoid additional fees) https://lostmountainalpacaranch.com/ I booked the 60 minute experience for our family and we were in for such a treat. The owners David and Tina were very welcoming, friendly, and very open to educating us about their farm, the lovely alpacas, their cats, and the super cute guard dog, Bodhi. During the private experience, we interacted with the alpacas and fed them their breakfast, our session was at 10am. We really enjoyed the stories the owners told us about the alpacas and the farm. I really loved the experience as it was just for our group and we throughly enjoyed it, I didn't have to worry about crowds and I wasn't rushed. Can't wait to see the alpacas again the next time we are in the area.

Pulling into Buddy's Alpaca Farm you are met by the owners and the beautiful herd dog. As you exchange pleasantries, you are taking in the ambiance of the farm as a whole. The beautiful greenery sets the tone as you are prepped to start your walk through. Buddy's Alpaca Farm is a family owned farm that provides an intimate experience. You have the chance to not only meet the Alpacas but you get to understand 1. Their value as an animal, 2. The many ways they enhance our everyday lives in ways you may have never known, and 3. You get the chance to observe them as they engage with you and eat out your hand. As we continued on the journey we got to the table and were introduced to the Alpaca poop!!! Yes, I said poop. LoL!! However, I won't spoil the surprise or educational experience, yet what I will say is; we left with 3 cups of "gifts" covered in poop and even purchased a container of poop for household use... Oh yes, this is multi-purpose poop. LoL!! I absolutely enjoyed my time at Buddy's Alpaca Farm. It was a fun day for one of our clients and they had an absolute blast! On a scale of 1 to 10, this experience was an absolute 10 and is one I would recommend for anyone who enjoys family focused, family owned, animal focused FUN!!!!

If the opportunity presents itself to either visit Decimal Place Farm on an organized tour and/or to eat their various cheeses such as chevre and feta, go for it. It's amazing to think about how this goat farm is just outside the perimeter and in close proximity to the airport, as evidenced by the numerous jets zooming by overhead. Farmer Mary is passionate about her gang of genial goats and the delightful cheeses that they produce at this family-owned establishment. Plus she's a super nice lady in general and happy to talk about farming, cheesemaking, and nature. You can't just drive up to the farm and buy cheese, but they're sold at markets such as the Freedom Farmers Market and are a favorite of many chefs at popular Atlanta restaurants.

Debbi is an open, warm and informed host who gladly answers questions about her alpaca family, which she is passionate about. Although I did not have an appointment, which is advisable, and called from the farm's driveway, Debbi kindly drove over from her nearby home and spent an hour with me chitchatting about all things alpaca. For you alpaca enthusiasts, the Merrills also operate a small gift shop with items incorporating alpaca fleece, including yarn from their own animals (how often do you get to meet and learn the name and story of the creature whose body produced the material for the socks you are about to knit?), hats, sweaters, socks and stuffed animals. If it can be made with alpaca fleece or has a picture of an alpaca on it, Debbi probably has it in stock. If you thrill to the idea of hearing alpacas hum in close proximity, stop by and check out the alpacas and kitties and ducks and geese. Debbi and Hank will doubtless put out their welcome mat.

This place is cute, sweet (literally!) and an easy day trip from Atlanta - only about an hour away. Perfect for anyone, young or old. Just two things you need to know before you go: **Note that the farm is EAST of I-85**. This means if you're coming down from Atlanta, take a left turn off the exit, and it will be about a mile and a half up the road on the right. The map on this page and in Google maps is correct; the map on the farm's Facebook page and Apple Maps is wrong! They both show the farm west of the interstate and we spent some time driving around there trying to find the farm before trying the other side of the highway.** [glad we did or we would have missed out!] **CALL BEFORE YOU GO!** Every few days or so the orchard needs to close down to allow more berries to ripen for picking -- this is common for all strawberry patches. If you're driving any distance, you don't want to come all that way just to find you can't pick. If they're open, I advise arriving early so they're not over-picked the day you arrive. Current hours (as of 5/7/18) Tues, Thurs, Sat 10-6 Sun 1-5 Or by appointment Now for the experience itself: Utterly charming! Once we did find the farm, we had a lovely time. There were plenty of berries. It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and there was a lot of space; no crazy amounts of crowds. The owners were just as lovely as can be. You collect a basket at the start and fill to your heart's content. (note: the darker the berries, the sweeter they are!) You pay by weight; I got a ridiculous amount of berries for only $10. Note that you'll be bending down a lot - strawberry plants are low to the ground, after all. But it's not a strenuous workout. Ripe berries will pop right off easily! And the patch is literally right there at the entrance where you park your car, so no need to worry about walking a long distance either. I went with two other adults and we had a grand time. There were also families there with children and they were having a blast too - so definitely pack up the kids for a day of fun out in the sun and come here.
