From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm smiles and welcoming hospitality. The farm itself was nestled in a picturesque countryside setting, with rolling green hills and breathtaking views. The facilities were well maintained, you can tell right away how well they care for the llamas. Our adventure started with an informative presentation about their llamas. We all learned interesting facts. Then we got to walk llamas though their obstacle course. And got plenty of pictures and videos. They have a cute gift shop on site and sell delicious Apple cider vinegar slushee. This was an unforgettable adventure filled with joy, laughter and plenty of llama cuddles.

It was $20 to purchase a 1 peck bag to fill on our own. I believe you can have up to 5 people per bag but today it was just me and my kids. What stood out about this orchard is that 99% of the apples I picked from the tree were perfect! Very very few apples with blemishes, damages, holes etc. there were also very few apples littering the ground so we didn't have to worry about too many bees or bugs around us like we have had to do at other places. The apples taste fantastic! The playground was a hit with my 2 and 4 year old. Big shout out for having a huge tunnel that the kids can run there instead of crawl! Delicious bites include apple cider donuts, apple cider slushes, and ice cream. All were 10/10. Worth the 2 hour drive for us.

Michelle, the owner, called me back immediately and had availability the same day! We had a lovely time visiting with the pigs, goats, chickens and horses. Michelle showed us around the farm and let us feed the goats and chickens (so cute)! We got to pet and feed the horses treats as well. We walked down to a lovely creek-so beautiful and soothing! While the kiddos splashed around I learned about all of the camps and healing workshops that they have available. I can't wait to check them out...exactly what I've been looking for in a beautiful, serene setting! Michelle was so hospitable and we can't wait to go back! Thanks for having us!

The drive thru tour of seeing all the animals and feeding them from inside the wagon is so fun…read more There are goats, deer, ram, cows, longhorn steer and even a yak. All the animals are very docile and can easily eat from your hand. A lot of them are big cuddle babies according to the staff.The feed bucket is a good size to feed all the animals. The staff is good at rotating the animals so you get a chance to feed them all They also have a walk in area to see animals, a highland cow session you can book, a zip line and a self controlled mountain coaster. The highlight for me was Dozer the sweet highland cow and the baby alpaca. Thanks Skyland Ranch for the fun morning

We called that morning and were able to visit at 2:00 PM. They welcomed us and gave us a complete and very informative tour of the farm. We got to meet the alpacas by name and visit the 11-month-old and 4-month-old alpacas with their mothers. We even had the chance to feed and walk with one of them. A huge thank you to the wonderful couple who owns this property for your kindness, patience, and understanding, especially with part of my family who did not speak English, allowing us time to translate. Your property is beautiful, and the alpacas are clearly loved and well taken care of. We will definitely visit again next time we are in this part of the country!

Family friendly and affordable. Also, I e noticed people saying the location isn't correct. Don't go by Yelp. The address is 18 Sorghum Mill Dr Lakemont GA, 30552 United States

I wanted to purchase some jams to bring back home (SoFL) so we only visited the gift shop. Specifically, I was in search of T.O.E. Jam. It took a hot minute, but eventually I located it. The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise and a massive jam selection. There are endless gift options available and the folks at the counter were very friendly. I'll definitely return on a future visit and will go when we have more time. I'd love to check out the farm.
