Part of a HVAC team by day, Dave's real passion lies in the dirt! And his farm stand delivers! Modern, clean facility with comfortable porch chairs with cushions. And you're sure to enjoy a cold, fresh, ice cream cone in this heat! Perfect for chatting and enjoying life while here. The fresh grown offering are limited to blueberry, strawberry and fig offerings. However, there are garden fresh offerings of okra., potatoes and onions and the occasional odd garden item! Dave even offers fresh eggs, The on-site grown, these blueberries are sweet with tender skins. Berries range in size from medium small up to "Rabbit Eye" size. You can't go wrong...

There was still so many strawberries to pick, my wife and I left with (2) buckets but we could have easily filled up 20 lol. Strongly recommend this quint farm and its fields. It's crazy people are such whiners and give some of these places terrible reviews, they are farms for goodness sakes, what are you expecting to where high heels and a dress, or dress pants. Just dress accordingly or go to the supermarket. Although Dempsey rightfully so hasn't received any bad reviews, some farms have and comments are just dumb, silly and downright rude!!! Some people are just impossible to please. That's why I always read reviews thoroughly because you need to take them sometimes with a grain of salt.

While 'Premises Grown' produce is limited to strawberries and thorn free blackberries in season, Hodges excels. Pick your own or (sometimes) picked and packed, this produce is beautiful, natural, and abundant. The stand is easy to find off GA 21 (west side of the road), down a few paved side roads, and to the small barn. Eddie and Christy Hodges host a great little store, with a fine selection of country surprises. It's fun, and nourishing to the mind and body.

Went to the strawberry festival for the first time, and me and my husband were pretty excited about…read morepicking berries. Upon walking in, I noticed that the everything was to be paid for separately, kids activities, berry picking. We arrived around 1 pm and the berry fields were still open but totally picked out. That was the only thing we came for other than to try the ice cream. Huge disappointment. Won't go back as it wasn't worth the drive/money, and to be honest to me it seems like a huge cash grab.

We attended ottawa farms for the Strawberry festival this week. Although our strawberry pickin's…read morewere finite (we picked berries around 3 and the field was very busy and picked through), we had a great time at the farm. We did the hay ride through the cow field and saw so many calf's - we had a lot of fun doing this. Grounds were very muddy in the festival, but they kept the rides ad clean as they could. We saw goats and horses and pigs too- all the animals had plenty of food and water. We liked the farm shop and the homemade strawberry ice cream. The singing chicken man had us laughing all afternoon too! We had a nice time but I would start WAY earlier next year.

It's Blueberry season here in Georgia and what a perfect day for blueberry picking it was yesterday! It was overcast and in the low 70s (whaaaat?!), so I took advantage of the "cool" temps and packed up the kids in the car and headed out to Heritage Hill Farm in Ludowici (never knew it was pronounced Ludo-wi-SEE haha). - Parking - You'll have to park by the fields. There is no lot, but you can park along the edges, as long as you don't box anyone in. - Picking & Price Info - You must call Linda, the owner of the farm, at the number on the business listing to set up a time for picking. The address listed is the official address of business, but the fields are located before the listed address. She'll give you the directions to the field once you speak to her. It's $10/gallon, BYOB (bring your own bucket) and this includes AYCE (all you can eat) blueberries. Seriously. I asked if she was sure. She said yes. She's obviously never met my kids haha. My kids had no problems rising to the challenge. As I picked 2, they ate 4. The blueberries are so sweet and so is Linda. She has a big heart and donates ALL of the proceeds to her ministry that provides food and care for needy children. Fields are open until July 31st. Cash only. There were a quite a few families there, but the fields were large enough and the bushes were full of blueberries that we didn't even cross paths with any other families. Great activity for social distancing. 1.5 hours later, 2 gallons picked. I would say it was a BERRY successful day! Enjoy!

We got a tree and a wreath! Trees come in varying sizes. They have different colored tags to denote how tall the tree is. Their wreaths come in different sizes too!

A few of the things we enjoyed were the pony ride ($7) for our toddler, the cow ride, their muscadine apple cider, the ride out to the pumpkin patch, and of course the petting farm. The petting farm gives you the opportunity to feed the animals in their stalls, which little kids love. And adults. They have a lot of little activities/play areas for kids here. I would say they had around 20+ activities total, to include music, food, a fishing area, and pumpkin patches. The pumpkin patch isn't your traditional pumpkin patch, but all of the pumpkins are included in the $15 price. It's 1x pumpkin per wrist band and the pumpkins are small to medium sized. The farm takes a bunch of pumpkins and puts them out in a field. This is likely safer though, because of snakes, spiders, and who knows what else that lurks in pumpkin patches in the country. We didn't get a chance to do the haunted trail for an extra $5, but I bet it's a lot of fun. The weather was a perfect 72 degrees up until 1 o'clock and then the sun turned on. Getting there at 10AM when it opens is definitely worth it.
