The gift shop was so cute and they offered a small amount of concessions type of snacks. The main building also had clean restrooms and an area with picnic tables. Birds... So many birds... More than Alfred Hitchcock could ever imagine!!! Our favorite animals that we saw were the camel, the many peacocks, zebras, and the prairie dog. Of course the miniature goats were also adorable. It looks like they are still building out the space for future animals and human guest. Excited to go back to see what is new in the future!

This place is HUGE, and the diversity of animals completely surprised us. Everywhere you turn there's something new to see. The birds alone are incredible especially the peacocks. They were absolutely stunning, with so many different colors and patterns. We could've stayed there just watching them for a while. One of the wildest parts was the ostrich just casually hanging out without a closed cage you can get pretty close, which is both exciting and slightly intimidating at the same time They also have zebras, snakes, camels, and more. The camel, Camelot (yes, that's his name ), completely stole the show for us. Such a funny personality the kids and I loved him. It felt like a mix between a zoo and a ranch, but way more relaxed and interactive. The kids had an amazing time, and honestly, so did we. Definitely a fun family outing if you're in the area! $20 bucks per person

I went out there unsure of what I was going to see, but I did have a preconceived idea that it would be some big store on a farm. My idea was the furthest thing from the truth. To be quite honest, I thought my GPS was wrong, because all that we saw was some older run down buildings and a bunch of random cars parked nearby. Let me tell you how glad I am that we proceeded and walked inside. Now when I say that MooMa's (the actual store) is small, it truly is. They have a great selection of local food items like honey, jams, pasta noodles, milk, etc. The one thing that threw me though was the two smaller "ice cream freezers" that had frozen beef and pork. I prefer fresh meat over frozen any day, but I was willing to give it a shot. I loaded up on burgers, brats, and Italian sausage, but I did ask about fresh meat. They told me that they dry age all their beef, so if you let them know ahead of time before you go, they will cut it and have it ready for you when you arrive. Talk about customer service! That right there made this a five star establishment. I'll say this too, we cooked the frozen burgers and they were amazing. Not one of us could tell that they were frozen, which again backs my five stars. I'm not quite sure who the gentleman that came out of the office was, or the lady that he was with, but those two and the older gal working the store were the best. I'll drive here any day to buy my meat before going to a chain grocery store. Thank you Hunter Cattle!

My wife and I stopped by the Hunter Cattle Company stand at the Savannah Farmers Market this…read moremorning (a wonderful time overall), and decided we'd give some of their jerky a try. Out of six or seven available varieties, we chose the Farmhouse Garlic - partially on the recommendation of the very helpful Hunter representative, but mostly cos both I and Mrs I love garlic :) The jerky is absolutely fantastic. It's tender, comes across as moist even though it has obviously been dried, and the garlic is such a fresh note that you really get to appreciate the heat that garlic can possess. I don't want to call it spicy - it's not like a jalapeño or anything like that - but it's a crisp, fresh heat like you get from a good peppercorn. I highly recommend it, and I'll be sure to give their other products a whirl as well.

The staff is always so attentive no matter how busy they are and they were quite busy on this day. Even though there were people standing around for tables, we never felt rushed and spent over two hours, talking, reminiscing and drinking wine. It is nice that they have covered areas for you to sit and partake- even though it was raining that day we never got wet. I love that they let you bring your own food. I brought a charcuterie board and my sister did a fruit tray. They also have charcuterie boards that you can purchase if you would like. There was also a food truck there for anyone who wanted to dine. I have been going to Butterducks for years and every time I have a great experience. We love you, Butterducks!
