The employees were so friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs! I loved the cotton picking session, it was a bit lengthy on the history discussion and the kids (kindergarteners) lost interest about 10 minutes into the 20 minute speel. Overall, we had a fantastic time! BTW, I hear they do a fun setup for Christmas ;)

We visited on a Tuesday afternoon so crowds were low, and we enjoyed a reasonably priced concession stand type lunch with handmade fried apple pies!

It was tucked away from the city but still close enough to I-20 for easy access. I highly recommend visiting this farm for such an enjoyable family experience!

I was looking for a private experience for our family of 3 that doesn't involve a lot of crowds and where my daughter could have private time with animals and this place was perfect! I booked our experience directly through the website: (when you book, I advice you to do it as well to avoid additional fees) https://lostmountainalpacaranch.com/ I booked the 60 minute experience for our family and we were in for such a treat. The owners David and Tina were very welcoming, friendly, and very open to educating us about their farm, the lovely alpacas, their cats, and the super cute guard dog, Bodhi. During the private experience, we interacted with the alpacas and fed them their breakfast, our session was at 10am. We really enjoyed the stories the owners told us about the alpacas and the farm. I really loved the experience as it was just for our group and we throughly enjoyed it, I didn't have to worry about crowds and I wasn't rushed. Can't wait to see the alpacas again the next time we are in the area.

In the middle of nowhere, but Sand Mountain Pumpkin Patch/Corn Maze is definitely worth the drive…read more It's very family friendly, and most of the patrons were parents and kids, although this would also be a cute date location for couples. I got "The Works" which includes the corn maze, pumpkin patch (+ pumpkin) and a couple rounds with the corn cannon ($18). I came here for the Corn Maze and I was not disappointed. The maze is huge, and I got lost pretty fast. There's signs throughout the maze with clues. If you pick the right answer to the question on the sign, you'll progress through the maze. If you pick the wrong answer, you'll go in circles. It was fun trying to find our way, but after running into the same two signs 3-4x we decided to pull out our phone GPS to lead us the right way. After that, we finally broke out of the loop and found the exit! (We finished the maze in 1 hour). After that, we got a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch and picked out a pumpkin to take home. It seemed a little small at first, but there were probably over 100 pumpkins in the little patch. It was a hot day so I went to the concessions stand to purchase a fruit/icy smoothie which was pretty decent (taste/pricing). I loved shooting the corn cannon, and watching the corn fly hundreds of yards across the field. I have terrible aim but it was tons of fun! Overall, I'd definitely recommend planning a visit out here during the fall. The corn maze is very well done and a great way to challenge yourself! Everything here is very cute and reasonably priced, and it's a great way to spend a weekend.

I had such high hopes for the corn maze - sadly it was a flop! No questions to get you through,…read morebasically you're sort of wondering around trying to find your way out. Very disappointing.

We also said hi to the cute ponies ready to do pony rides. Lots of spaces for kids to run and play. Got to see the big cows being milked and could ask any questions to the owners. And for a nice end we got a scoop of ice cream made from the fresh milk. I got cookie dough. Milk is also for sale and pints/half pints of ice cream to go. Well worth a stop! Note: no dogs allowed.

I had a lovely shopping experience with 1818 Farms recently! A couple of Sunday afternoon's ago, I…read moreordered several lip balms and a beautiful "resin art - rectangular tray," please see the picture which does NOT do the product justice. These were birthday gifts for my favorite Sister. Fast forward to Tuesday, and the extremely well packed box arrived! Wow, talk about fast shipping! The lip balms were treated with so much care! They were packed in a reusable ice pack envelope, and packed so well, I had to get the scissors out to open them, which sadly, damaged the envelope package but not the balms. 1818 offers a handwritten note along with their products, which I forgot about. After Sister joyfully opened her gifts, I remembered the hand written note, which we retrieved from the abundant bubble wrap in the trash can, and Sister just loved the note! Such a nice, sweet, personal touch! To this day, Sister is looking for the perfect easel on which to display her beautiful resin tray, and you can even specify a color scheme for the flowers in the resin products. Do consider 1919 Farms for unique, natural, and in nearly all [perhaps all] cases handmade items that support a locally owned Farm. Thanks so much 1818 Farms for making my Sister's birthday extremely memorable!!!!!

I met the owner of 1818 Farms, Natasha McCrary, at a craft fair featuring Alabama made products…read moreearlier this year. 1818 Farms is located in the historic town of Mooresville, near Decatur, Alabama, population at last count was 53. Events here may triple the population of the town on a regular basis. In addition to Natasha's line of cosmetics, the beautiful little farm raises organic produce, heritage breed Babydoll Southdown Sheep, and other farm animals. It is a popular site for weddings and receptions I understand. Seminars, children's camps, classes and retreats are just a few of other activities that are found here. When I first met the owner, she told me about their farm-to-table dinners featuring produce grown on site and when I got home, went online and made reservations shortly before it sold out. On June 10, 2016, I attended my first Dinner on the Farm featuring Chef Jakob Reid of the Albany Bistro in nearby Decatur, Alabama. You will not find a prettier setting for a farm-to-table dinner. A rustic pavilion with fans, elegant seating and table settings is located in a shady corner of the property with a view of the woods and a nearby creek. Beautiful music provided by the Mellotones of Madison, Alabama, provided a really serene background of perfect relaxing live string harmonies. Appetizers were the first enticement offered to guests. A platter of grilled shrimp on miniature grit cakes tasted as good as they looked. A variety of pickled vegetables made in the Farm kitchens were spread with an assortment of cheeses, including a local goat cheese, and crackers. An egg salad dip from on site farm chicken eggs rounded out the bountiful appetizer table. A special treat with the Camembert cheese was a blueberry jalapeño jam hand made with on site ingredients by the hostess, Natasha McCrary. The slight spiciness of the jalapeños was a surprisingly good compliment to the sweet blueberries. With the cheese, it was a powerhouse combination. The first course consisted of a beautifully prepared bruschetta with heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, with a drizzle of Georgia olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and farm raised basil grown and picked just feet away from our tables. The second course was a small salad of fresh, young cucumbers marinated in Georgia olive oil, vinegar, dill and basil served on a wedge of Italian flat bread. The main course was a perfectly roasted moist and flavorful skinless chicken breast, named by the chef "airline chicken" with a wing bone left attached like the tail of an airplane. A grit cake well toasted on all sides with a faint taste of Andouille sausage was a great side to the chicken and was a fitting compliment, almost like a Cajun cornbread, to perfectly cooked vegetables which were my favorite dish of the evening. Farm grown squash, zucchini, and pole beans were steamed with a light seasoning that complimented but did not hide the wonderful taste of the vegetables. Chef Reid has the ability to showcase the taste of the wonderful fresh produce he prepares without over seasoning. The final course for the evening was a very French inspired baked meringue with a topping of strawberry mousse from locally grown strawberries and drizzled with a dark chocolate Ganache. It was a very decadent desert to end a very wonderful meal in a very wonderful setting. The special dinners served here do not include beverages except for water and so you are encouraged to bring your own. Most guests did bring their favorite wines which were very abundant. I prefer wines matched to the food on special dining occasions so a menu, which was not provided, would be a helpful suggestion. Dress is casual and should be comfortable for an outdoor setting.
