Barbour Farms Country Store is one of those little hidden gems you can easily miss if you blink while getting off I-75 in Byron, GA. My husband and I pass the signs at least once a week heading north to Macon and finally decided it was time to see what they had to offer. After turning off the highway, drive slow because this quaint little country store is tucked away just a block down the road on a corner lot. We parked in the grass beside the store and immediately noticed the rocking chairs out front filled with customers happily enjoying ice cream and cobbler. Honestly, that alone felt like a good sign. Inside, the store is small but packed with goodies. They had a produce section with fresh cucumbers, onions, sweet potatoes, and the first peaches of the season. Of course, I grabbed a little bit of everything. They also sell salsas, pecans, candies, homemade cobblers, ice cream, and plenty of other tempting Southern treats. The gentleman working there, who I assume was one of the owners, was incredibly friendly and proudly told us the peaches were the first of the season, juicy now but even better as the season goes on. Naturally, we bought some, and wow... they were some of the sweetest, juiciest peaches I've ever had. Grocery store peaches could never. I also picked up a jar of tequila salsa because I had never seen that before, and it ended up being fantastic, spicy with a really balanced flavor. Definitely something I'd buy again. Before leaving, we had to try the peach cobbler. Now, cobbler is usually my husband's thing, not mine, but this may have converted me. It tasted homemade, loaded with fresh peaches, and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet like many cobblers tend to be. They also offer blackberry cobbler or a half and half mix if you can't decide. Overall, we were really impressed with this little country store and will absolutely be back. If you're passing through Byron on I-75, I definitely recommend pulling over and giving Barbour Farms a try. Just don't blink or you'll miss it! read more

Stopped here on a rainy Sunday while en route to Florida. I wanted to surprise my mom with some fresh peaches. She had been recently telling me how all the grocery store peaches were hard & flavorless. Barbour Farms store delivered the ultimate peaches! My mom was beyond thrilled with how flavorful & juicy these peaches were. Perfection! I also bought a few sour plums to try. I was worried they'd be too sour for me but I found them to be delightful. Wish I'd bought more. The store had such lovely and unique items, I'd love to try everything! read more

Quaint little spot. Easy to find. Small but neatly organized. I came to try out the peach cobbler and peach ice cream. They have handmade candies, pecans, fresh peaches, muscadines, fresh boiled peanuts, pralines, and more. The peach ice cream was soft served. Refreshing! The peach cobbler was good but too much breading for my liking. Overall, I'd recommend read more

What an adorable little shop. We were driving back to augusta and I wanted to try a good local peach. We saw the billboard for this place and stopped in. The workers were so welcoming and even taught me how to eat a boiled peanut. which btw wasn't my cup of of tea but still good. (texture). We also got their peach cobbler, peach cider, and strawberry cider. We ate a peach on the way home and they were so sweet! The peach cider was devine. It was like eating a fresh peach on a hot summer day sitting on your porch. If i lived in the area, I'd definitely be using this place to buy my local produce. What a cute little find. read more

Seen this building most of my adult life having played Peach County a lot of years in multiple sports an finally stopped by to get the boy some ice cream. Store packs a big punch of goods from magnets to jams and everything in between. The peach ice cream was amazing and it was nice to sit in a rocking chair out front and just slow down to take it all in and enjoy. read more

Got there just at closing time and they kindly let us in and served us anyway. Enjoyed the ice cream and the friendliness of the staff.

My husband and I pulled off the highway to get a bite to eat and we saw this place advertising peaches, so we decided to get some peaches before we continued our journey home to Florida. This place had plenty of peaches and other assorted goodies to choose from. The people were very nice and we were in and out quickly with our peaches and some pecans. I'm looking forward to these Georgia treats when we get home! read more

The owner shared knowledge of items with us! They have the best peach cobbler I have ever tasted! This place is a hidden gem, we were lucky to stop by on our way to Florida- right next to the highway xoxo the owner was very pleasant! read more

I stopped by this store while on the road. The owner was really friendly and offered us some food samples while we were browsing the store! There's a variety of nuts, chocolate treats, jams/jellies, and other non-food gifts available for purchase. Both the blackberry cobbler and the peach cobbler are delicious, and I loved both the peach and strawberry flavors of ice cream. There are 2 sizes for the cobbler/ice cream - small and large (I got the small, which was perfect for a treat just for me!). If I'm ever passing through the area again, I'll definitely get the cobbler and ice cream again! read more

Barbour Farms Country Store - Bodie after his free ice cream! - Specialty Food Near Me - Byron, Georgia

The owners/staff are some of the best people I have met in my whole life. Our baby spat up all over my wife's dress and wanted to buy at-shirt to change into. The owner gave us the t-shirt, this was extremely generous. On coming in they immediately gave the kids samples of peach ice cream, which was very nice of them. Me and the kids ordered some more peach ice cream. My wife had peach cobbler with peach ice cream on top. We sat in the rocking chairs out front to eat our ice cream. The owner came out and played on his harmonica for us and sang a little! Everything was excellent! I even went back inside to get some blackberry cobbler to take for my Momma, which she said was excellent! Overall, they have won a customer for life! read more

We stopped here; they were the recommendation when we asked where we should stop for great peaches if we don't have time to pick ourselves. The ladies were lovely, the ice cream is delicious, and we are looking forward to the peach salsa, peach butter and wonderful smelling peaches we took with us. May go back on our trip home! read more

Pretty sure this is the first negative review I've left, but don't want others to go out of their way and make the same mistake I did. More below, but what was **really** disappointing for me was the peach ice cream. I literally could not taste peaches in the soft serve ice cream at all. Two others in my family tasted it too and said the same thing. It didn't taste awful and did have some bits of what appeared to be peaches in it - but there was just a sweet custard taste and no peach flavor. Very odd. Keep in mind that I love all things peach. (Peaches, peach pie, peach cobbler, peach honey, etc.) Tried to exchange it for a cup of strawberry (the other flavor they offer), but the guy said no- so I ended up throwing away my $5.25 cup of ice cream in the trash at the gas station next door. Maybe they didn't put as much in since peaches are currently out of season? Prices are more than double what previous reviewers have stated. For example, package of dried okra is now $11.95- and is not $5, like a previous reviewer stated. They had a large variety of jars of exotic flavors of pickles from different manufacturers at $7.95 and up for a small jar, 5oz of chocolate covered pecans for $12.99, etc. I had high hopes for the overpriced ice cream, but it ended up in the trash and I ended up wasting my money. read more

Byron, GA: What a cute little store on route to Atlanta. While peaches aren't in season (noooo!), we were able to grab some soft serve peach ice cream. Good quantity, good taste, and good price. I can't speak to any other goodies in the store because we didn't grab any but there were some unique, interesting yummies, okra chips and peach cider among some. Nice little stop along the highway. read more

I love this store. The people who runs it are so nice. I'm one of those people who love tomato sandwiches. Their tomatoes are so sweet. You've got to try one. Then if you're a praline nut like me, try theirs, they are the bomb too. read more

Found this place by stopping at exit for gas. Bought 5 huge beautiful tomatoes. Bought Ga peaches an jelly plus pear preserves to take home. They have a good selection of Barbour brands. I did not have a cooler or I would have bought sausage.good An friendly service. They had green tomatoes too. read more

We stopped at Barbour Farms on our last trip through Byron and I have to say, I was extremely impressed. Other Yelpers have mentioned that the prices are high, and that's true if you're comparing this food to the food you'd pick up at Kroger or Publix. These are mostly organic, homemade and hard to find items and, when taking that into consideration, I found the prices more than reasonable. But when compared to Lane's, the prices are bargain-barn cheap. That's certainly something to consider. For example, I paid roughly $5.50 for a large container of dried and salted okra. It was fabulous--better than fried okra and infinitely healthier. They also offered local honey with the comb intact for roughly the same price that you'd find it at a grocery store. I bought half of a yellow watermelon for $2.50 and a huge quarter of a watermelon (more than enough for my family of four) for $1.99. They also offer a variety of interesting nuts (fried peanuts in the shell, anyone?) and a big novel candy selection for the kids that's also priced very comparably. I picked up two delicious pecan logs for $1.49 that would have cost me over $6.00 at Lane's. Much of their selection is composed of homemade jams,salsas and preserves you won't find anywhere else, such as scuppernong preserves, tomatillo and avocado salsa, spiced peaches, etc. (Watch out for that tomatillo salsa. It's good, but its got habaneros hidden in there somewhere and has one heck of a kick). Another benefit is that, before you spend your money on an item, you can always ask to taste it first. The owners keep opened jars of just about everything in the back and will be more than willing to give you a free taste of their jellies, jams, peach ice cream, salsa or dried veggies. I found the prices for green tomatoes were actually better than those at my local Kroger, and the ones at Kroger aren't organic. When I went, both owners were there and they were as polite and professional as two people can be. I was more than happy to give them my business and I will so again. read more

First the entrance was blocked by a truck owned by employees. We had to drive behind the building up on the dirt/gravel to get to it. Then when we tried to sit outside in the rocking chairs the two young employees were smoking within three feet of us. I asked them if the were smoking; hoping they're offer to put it out or walk to the back. But they just said "yes, they're Black and Milds." We won't be back. I know this is close to the interstate but it's not worth the stop. Dickey Farms is only 20 miles off the interstate in Musella. We'll go there or any of places like Pearsons or Greggs. There are too many choices to leave smelling like cheap cigar. read more

You won't be either. read more
