I swear, there’s nothing that tastes better than the fresh fruit and vegetables from our Georgia land. Have you ever gotten out on one of our farms and picked your own food? If not, you better put this on your bucket list before November, or you’ll miss your chance to experience some of the best gifts Georgia’s nature has to offer!
Come down to Burt’s Farms in Dawsonville and pick yourself a 150 lb. pumpkin! Burt’s is known to have every type of pumpkin, squash and gourd you can think of.
