We came yesterday and I genuinely can't stop thinking about how special it was…read more I called last minute in the afternoon after my little one woke up from his nap, not really expecting much -- but they fit us in that same day. From the moment we arrived, Ray made us feel so welcome. He had the horse ready for us, walked us through everything, and was so patient and attentive making sure my little one felt safe and comfortable the whole ride. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. What we didn't expect was everything that came after. We got to explore the petting zoo, meet the farm animals, and then a staff member came over and introduced us to a baby goat that was only a few days old, my little one's face was absolutely priceless. And then the moment that made this visit truly unforgettable, while my son was laughing away on the horse shaped tire swing, I glanced over and noticed a wobbly little goat behind us. Turns out we were witnessing a mama goat giving birth right there in front of us. Completely unplanned, totally magical. My little one got a nature lesson he'll probably never forget. This place has the most wonderful energy and the staff clearly care deeply about both the animals and their guests. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

The instructions were fast but easy to learn and our ride went super well. Thank you for great customer service and a great experience!

Located in Dawsonville off Hwy 136, this beautiful farm is a must-see stop during Fall. Before you even pull in, you'll see the acres of beaming and bright yellow sunflowers happy and thriving in the fields. The farm charges a small entrance fee, and they do allow you to cut and purchase your own sunflowers during certain weeks of peek season. They are great about posting updates to their website and social media for the upcoming season. I had so much fun walking through the fields and snapped some awesome photos of our local Georgia pollinators and famous monarch butterflies enjoying a snack provided by the sunflowers. Nature loves to show off!

We came here on a Sunday during weekend #2 of their sunflower season and it was great! They had…read moremultiple fields so the one we took most of our pictures at was dedicated to the weekend we were there. Parking was easy on the dirt lot and you pay upon entry. They also had some refreshments for sale, a honey stand, and sunflower oil stand. They had multiple staged backgrounds and we were free to wander as we pleased. The fields were not too crowded since they are so big. I also liked that they asked you not not pick sunflowers which kept the fields full of them. You could buy pre-picked ones up front for $1 each. They also offered a horse drawn carriage tour of the property for $5 per person. Would love to come back during golden hour.
