marks melon patch

We stopped here to buy peaches, because you have to get peaches when in Georgia! They had all sorts of fruits and vegetables as well as nuts, jams and jellies and other packaged goods. We enjoyed the soft serve peach ice cream. Items were a bit pricey and we discovered, according to the box, our peaches came from a farm about 2 hours away when we had just assumed they were local. Cute place to stop off on a road trip.

Boiled peanuts, jams, jellys, fresh grown right on Marks farm produce!! Farm boys produce stand has turned into a major attraction in the Fall!

The owner grew up in Terrell County and started his roadside stand in his high school years...it has grown into a fun place...they have hay rides in the pumpkin patch in the fall....live music...and of course fresh produce that he grows right there on the family farm, stop by....

A nice place to take the kids or just to get seasonal produce. We always enjoy taking photographs of the kids in front of the large sunflower field, and riding the hayride through the pumpkin patch. The kids enjoy the "haunted tunnel" at Halloween time. The melons and corn that we've bought have always been good.
