We played a lot of outdoor activities - it was a hot day and not too crowded. Sadly Poppell was a no go for the 2020 pumpkin season, but we still took advantage of them for Christmas trees! We got a tree and a wreath! Trees come in varying sizes. They have different colored tags to denote how tall the tree is. Their wreaths come in different sizes too! This will be our first wreath ever!

We visited Poppell Farms today for the first time.

One thing that really stood out was that they were very safety conscious. You could tell that safety is their first priority. The staff were very courteous and it seemed like there was a staff member everywhere you turned. The only reason I didn't give our visit 5 stars was because the "pumpkin patch" was very disappointing. We had driven 1.5hr to get here with the main purpose of wanting our kids to have the experience of a hayride to an actual pumpkin patch. Instead, we waited 45min in line for the hayride that ended at a grass field (not pumpkin patch) with only small pumpkins (that were not big enough to carve). They did have full size pumpkins of various sizes and price points in the main event area back at the farm entrance, but we were expecting a place where pumpkins could be picked off the vine. For this reason, I'm not sure we'd return but I do want all the other great aspects noted because they were so well done.

We heart The Farm at Oatland North!…read more Located at the beginning of the driveway to Cannon's Point Preserve (another great spot), on your right, is a dirt road leading to a wonderful sanctuary for animals! Open every Sunday, 2-4pm, or by appointment. I was so missing "The Farm" the Sunday after my trip to the Golden Isles this year. I visit animal sanctuaries frequently, and they are all wonderful, but this place was especially magical to me. Really positive energy and happy hopeful souls. These are such deserving, but also lucky animals who get to find their forever home at The Farm at Oatland North. Here you will find a bunch of horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, and cats. Dogs have lived here (and probably other species too), but currently those mentioned are the animal residents. You may feed the animals but please make sure you ask volunteers who may eat what. A senior woman was going around with sugar cubes ignorant of (or not bothering to care about) the fact that one of the horses has a heart condition, among other health concerns in other animals. The white donkey, Wonkey, who walks around to meet people, has lost nearly all his teeth, so we made sure to have cooked carrots mushy enough for him not to choke. The volunteers told us that the week before so we took note, but others were just trying to give him anything. If you truly want to show care toward these animals, please think through the foods you give them. The ASPCA offers a whole list of foods toxic to horses, cats, dogs, etc. take a look before you bring foods. Avocados, grapes, onions, and citrus are just a few foods that are completely toxic to most animals. We met volunteers, Sally, Diane, and Leanne, and they were so kind and engaging. Often volunteers at rescues and sanctuaries are kind, but usually preoccupied with all the work they are doing. Not these ladies! They sat and talked with us in the Adirondack chair circle for a good 20min on Christmas Eve, and we saw Sally and Diane again on New Year's Eve, just as friendly and sweet. Our first visit, Sally took us around and gave us backstories on most of the animals. She taught us a lot of horse facts too (my kid now wants a horse). Second visit, we met two of the pigs' "mom" who raised them in her apartment when they were piglets. All of the volunteers have hearts of gold, and I told them I have never felt such calm and loving animals as I did here (and we visit a LOT of rescues, sanctuaries, zoos, etc). We could not have been more impressed with the love and trust between humans and animals at this farm. The horses loved our 8lbs of apples. Diane had a core-er in the office, and gave us a feed bucket to put slices in, which really made feeding easy. Sally had explained we need to use our voice to call Tex over because he's blind. My son loved being patient and using voice to call him over. Tex would paw at the ground for another apple slice. The horses were so excited for the snacks because visiting time is always before dinner served at 4 when everyone leaves. Anything visitors bring are well-loved hors d'oeuvres! The cats are all so loving too. They all look super healthy, but we made sure to wash our hands before going home to our own kitties (we take our kitties to GA), because you can never tell if a cat has FIP, a coronavirus that can be latent in some carrier cats, and deadly in others (I lost a cat to FIP). So pat and enjoy these kitties for sure, just do a COVID-style soap and water scrub before touching your pets at home. This is our 4th year visiting Jekyll and we just found out about "The Farm" even after visiting Cannon's Point our first year! Oh well, wish we'd found them sooner but shoutout to StSiMoms.com for tipping me off to this great place! Love love love The Farm at Oatland North!

It's Blueberry season here in Georgia and what a perfect day for blueberry picking it was yesterday! It was overcast and in the low 70s (whaaaat?!), so I took advantage of the "cool" temps and packed up the kids in the car and headed out to Heritage Hill Farm in Ludowici (never knew it was pronounced Ludo-wi-SEE haha). - Parking - You'll have to park by the fields. There is no lot, but you can park along the edges, as long as you don't box anyone in. - Picking & Price Info - You must call Linda, the owner of the farm, at the number on the business listing to set up a time for picking. The address listed is the official address of business, but the fields are located before the listed address. She'll give you the directions to the field once you speak to her. It's $10/gallon, BYOB (bring your own bucket) and this includes AYCE (all you can eat) blueberries. Seriously. I asked if she was sure. She said yes. She's obviously never met my kids haha. My kids had no problems rising to the challenge. As I picked 2, they ate 4. The blueberries are so sweet and so is Linda. She has a big heart and donates ALL of the proceeds to her ministry that provides food and care for needy children. Fields are open until July 31st. Cash only. There were a quite a few families there, but the fields were large enough and the bushes were full of blueberries that we didn't even cross paths with any other families. Great activity for social distancing. 1.5 hours later, 2 gallons picked. I would say it was a BERRY successful day! Enjoy!
