Thank you Fancy Girl Farms! My sister was bragging about this place a month ago when we were…read moreplotting this little family roadtrip to visit my niece in Valdosta. Alanta (my niece) goes to school there and we were so excited to shop, sip, explore and eat at Fancy Girl Farms! John and I actually went 2 days in a row- Saturday our plans had shifted to later in the morning- so I jumped up and said lets go check out the farm instead of sitting around waiting for the college girl. Coffee, farm stand, nursery & garden tour was what awaited us Saturday. I grabbed a coffee from their sweet little cafe- it was scrumptious. The stroll through the gardens was blissful- it had rained and was going to rain more, so next to no one was out in the gardens- peace and quiet, yes please! The farm stand/ nursery was loaded with goods and I was compiling a shopping list!
We returned Sunday for lunch and there was a crazy line quick when they opened- great for business! All the big families were there early to make sure they got seats. We had a party of 6 and were one of the first tables sat. Our server was fabulous, she had our drinks out fast & bread for the table. We all ordered the fried chicken and all were smart enough to split plates (since we were all driving hours home that same day). Sides around the table- mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, creamed corn with bacon, collard greens, black eyed peas, mac-n-cheese, fries & I'm probably missing something. We all passed food around to try too- so those sides, I tried most of them!
Chicken- we got the mixed chicken white and dark meat and it was juicy, salty, crunchy skinned goodness. Top 3 for sure (truly I think I've only had one better).
Mashed potatoes- too dense, very flavorful- but needs milk, sour cream, something to help loosen it
Sweet potato casserole- guess what, also too dense and also wildly flavorful! The textures did not match the flavor punch
Black eyed peas- delicious, really the best I've had
Collard Greens- the table was bragging about how good it was
Mac-n-cheese- very creamy, just the way I like it
Fries- cooked perfectly
Creamed Corn with bacon- very good and I loved that you can tell it's freshly made, the color! Creamy white, not artificial yellow
I completely forgot about dessert- even after hearing my sister go on and on about weekly cobblers! That and the 15 layer chocolate cake- fifteen! Alright, I'll just need to go back for dessert!
