Find a Backroad Bounty Along Georgia Grown Trail 37
Georgia's first agritourism highway, Georgia Grown Trail 37, runs along Highway 37 in south Georgia from Homerville to Moultrie. A road trip along it includes stops at sprawling vineyards, humble roadside shops, and farms of all sorts and sizes.
Sure, you could find lots of Georgia-grown products in local supermarkets, or you could go directly to the sources, meet the farmers and producers, and learn about how your favorite foods are produced. Shop for local honey, gourmet olive oil, Georgia's famous pecans, muscadine wine, farm-fresh milk, grassfed beef and much more along Highway 37.
Follow this guide for a truly delicious road trip in south Georgia.
Begin at Bruce's Nut-N-Honey Farm in Homerville, where you can sample varieties of pure, raw honey, such as the delicate gallberry flavor. The shop is closed on weekends but leaves a small selection outside, honor system–style.
Next, drive west to tour Lakeland’s Georgia Olive Farms, which is leading a regional resurgence in olive oil production.
Pecans are the specialty at Little Duck Farms in Ray City, northwest of Lakeland. The farm is transitioning to organic practices to produce its prized crop, available salted, candied and plain.
Continue northwest to hit Horse Creek Winery Tasting Room in Sparks, where you can sample another staple this side of the gnat line: sweet muscadine wine. Try the tasting flight or potent wine slushies.
Whole Foods carries Sparkman's Cream Valley hormone-free milks, but drive west to this Moultrie farm for straight-from-the-cow freshness (in biodegradable containers to boot).
Even farther west, Arlington’s Still Pond Vineyard, Winery and Distillery combines winemaking with a small distillery producing moonshine and other craft spirits.
Finally, head northwest to wrap up your trip with a visit to the trail’s crown jewel, White Oak Pastures, Georgia’s largest organic farm and a leader in environmental stewardship. Don’t miss the farm's new general store in Bluffton. For a full agrarian immersion, book an overnight stay at an on-site cabin.
