We went for opening and didn't have any issues getting shoes or finding the size ball we wanted. We ended up doing 4 hours and had no mechanical issues on our lane.

Unfortunately, I missed out on their blackberry season that happened in May. In addition to the blueberries that were available for picking, peaches were sold in bushels placed on a table in their "store". Sometimes the owners are there to receive the money, and other times they run a honor system. Pencils were provided to write on the envelope to place it into the wooden box. The prices and size were posted on a sign the minute you walk inside. They were very reasonable, and fair compared to other farms. It was a hot sunny day, so the hubs picked quickly, since he tends to get sunburned and cranky lol. I'm the opposite, so I picked to my hearts content:) The blueberries were fresh and smaller than I'm used to. It tasted sweet and a little tart. The best part of it all, was that it was organic! Nowadays everything is sprayed, but this farm doesn't do that:) We revisited a few more times for picking. I knew the season was coming to a close, and needed some more to freeze. I made some cakes, and muffins out of the blueberries which lasted a few days. I sort of wished, I picked a large bucketful, cause as I'm writing this there is no more in the freezer. I'm sad lol We will be back!!!!

Originally, we were going to do one gallon but then switched to two quarts so we could split up and pick. They are cash only, so make sure to bring cash with you. There were so many blueberries to pick from. Rows and rows of ones that were ready to pick and others that should be ready in a week or so. There were a lot of flies and bees, so be cautious if you're allergic, but they didn't not bother us.

About a decade ago, we stayed in one of the cabins with our children. They loved it as we explored some trails, the beach, the historic buildings, the farm and equipment and rode bikes. Now my husband and I return to use the hiking/walking trails. The trails give you a little bit of everything. You can be in the shade, the blazing sun, on the beach walking in the sand, beside a field of cows or soybeans, or meandering down a rural road. We recently did a 4 mile hike and packed a lunch to enjoy on the beach. My only issue is that some people who come with their dogs have them off leash. We bring our leashed dog and I don't care for other large dogs running up to us with their owners not having control. I highly recommend going and enjoying Chippokes!

I can only imagine its full beauty in the spring or summer. They even had a bird feeder which was busy with a bunch of beautiful feathered friends stopping to eat. It was quite a serene & peaceful visit. It's also free.

The feeders attract a variety of birds to the garden while the flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies! It's a very relaxing way to unwind and explore nature!

It really has the potential to fill a few days and we need to come back for one of their events. Once you find which building is the main entry (it's well marked) the docents take exceptional care of you. The visitors set up the video for us and some other visitors and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it to understand the menhaden industry and why the museum is here. Then we spent a LOT of time looking at the exhibits in the main building. Everything you could want to know about the local area and its fishing & maritime history. Lots of artifacts, models, dioramas, visual aides, etc. Afterwards we went outside and visited the ships that they have for their hands on education. I really want to come back and sail on the skipjack. Finally we ended at the train museum. That thing is spectacularly impressive. No idea why it is related to the mission of the museum but it definitely fills the "unique & interesting" bucket. Sadly it is only running when the right volunteers are around so hopefully it matches your exhibit. Someone(s) have spent a LOT of time & money on that & it is novel to take in.

From the moment you hop onto those winding country roads, you feel the stress start to melt away. Parking is a breeze. It's literally an open field where you just pull in and park wherever. It's casual and easy, like everything here. The entrance is warm and inviting, and the women at the front stand welcomed us. You can immediately tell that every inch of this place was created with intention and care. Even the little playhouses for kids are painted in such charming colors. I visited toward the end of lavender season, so the fields weren't at their peak, but honestly it didn't matter. The wildflowers were in full bloom, and the sunflowers were just starting to bud. We had a blast feeding the sheep, who were clearly used to visitors and more than happy to accept snacks and attention. The gift shop is a must. It's packed with lavender goodies of course, but also a bunch of unique, cute items. I walked out with the cutest bee T-shirt & enamel pin. Then there's the café, which had everything from sandwiches to lavender ice cream, cotton candy, slushies. Yes, we tried it all! The lavender ice cream stole the show for me. I'll be back for my lavender ice cream fix! One of the best parts was spending time wandering the flower fields and cutting blooms for our own bouquet. Sweethaven feels like a dream. Everything about it is thoughtful, beautiful, and full of joy. I left with a full heart, a bag of goodies, and lavender ice cream on my mind. Already counting down the days until we visit again.
