Southern Belle Farm, McDonough

What a great (albeit expensive) experience. A quick hour trip to this beautiful farm was absolutely amazing. We opted to pick all the things - peaches, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and flowers. It was HOT and carrying everything (baskets for the fruit, huge souvenir cup for the flowers, water + believe me you'll need it) was a LOT. So learn from our experiences - use/bring a backpack!!!!! It was a lot of walking and not an ounce of shade while picking BUT they have a ton of picnic tables in the back that are completely shaded. The day we went we had a great breeze (THANKFULLY!). So in addition to all that they have a really fun store with SO MUCH. They have literally everything from the farm you can think of and a bunch of local goodies. They also have a petting zoo but we were absolutely exhausted so we'll have to go back and do the zoo. Everyone from the moment we pulled into the parking lot until we drove away the staff was amazing and incredibly helpful! Bathrooms were clean and there is plenty of (free) parking. We're excited to go back already. Enjoy! Ohh, the fruit, once we got home and gave it a good wash was delicious + gone so fast. 😂

The peaches were amazing! The little store with all of the produce, jams, ice cream etc was really neat to explore. The owners were there and we're very polite and spoke to the customers, which is always nice to experience. We were able to visit the animals and play with them which my kids really enjoyed. It's only 51 minutes away from where we live and definitely worth the drive. Probably would be better to go on the weekend if you're looking to enjoy all of the attractions for the kids.

My family went, my husband, baby, and I. We had such a wonderful time! We picked peaches and they tasted delicious! Better than store bought. We went to the barn, you can feed the goats, it’s 50 cents for a handful of goat food. The store inside was a lifesaver, AC and refreshments. Just an overall great experience and the nicest of people 😀

We went there with my family, second week of their opening for the season. We were picking strawberries. Spent $50 for 4 gallons of sour strawberries. Unfortunately strawberries weren't sweet as in the summer. Why opening a farm so early in the season? if strawberries are not ripe yet? One hour before closing, my children wanted to look at the petting zoo. Cashier at the entrance told us that we would have to pay almost $15 per adult and child.(we had 4 adults, and 2 children) Adults aren't using the rides. Why are we getting charged? Also there was no courtesy considering there was only one hour left. I understand the cost to run this farm, yet you are promoting children's exposure to the farm. You should make it affordable and accessible for families. Seems more of the money pit. Unfortunately after this experience we won't be coming back.

It's always an amazing time at Southern Belle from the time you enter the farm and I come as a teacher on a field trip or even when I bring my kids as a parent the customer service is always amazing. Ms Tina and some of the ladies that run the the farm are awesome especially when dealing with our students we always have a great time picking strawberries or enjoying the games the farm. They have a lot of activities for young children and even older kids and every year they add different things. We enjoy picking strawberries and eating strawberry ice cream however they have other fruit for picking too. And we can never leave without taking us a pound cake home you should definitely try one or two.
