Spring Means Babies at Split Creek Farm

I nearly let this slip by me, but if you’ve got the day free tomorrow you might want to head out to Athens Locally Grown member farm Split Creek Farm for their annual Spring open house.

They’re just over the state line in South Carolina, just a couple miles off I-85. It’s an easy drive from Athens, and visiting their farm is well worth the travel.

Here’s the information from their flyer, and you can find out more about the event and their farm at their website, www.splitcreek.com.

Split Creek Farm Grade A Goat Dairy is nationally known for its goat herd and the artisan cheeses and other quality goat milk products produced at the farm. The survival of America’s small farms is dependent on educating the public about rural life and the origin of their foods. Come join us for the day, and learn how one such farm operates.

Tours and demonstrations will be on going throughout the day. Learn about the different breeds of goats, tour the milking parlor, and visit with the farm animals. Photo opportunities available.

Our goat milk products are available for sampling all day. Food and drinks are available for purchase.

Take time to browse through our gift shop, The Hen House, featuring the art of Pat Bell as well as other gifts and collectibles.
