The dust has settled along Highway 341, and what a weekend it was! 🍑

Thank you to everyone—our community and the many visitors who traveled through—who stopped, shopped, and supported the Peaches to the Beaches Yard Sale along our stretch of Highway 341. It was truly a joy to see the excitement all weekend long.

There’s something special about watching a kid light up after finding the perfect new toy, seeing someone proudly carry off a “new-to-him” tool or gadget, or hearing a shopper say they found just the right piece for their home. Those little moments are what make this event so memorable.

We also want to extend a big thank you to the vendors who set up and participated. You were wonderful to work with, and your friendliness and hospitality helped create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who stopped by.

Events like this remind us just how special our community is. Thank you for making this year’s sale such a success, and for continuing to support the people and places along Highway 341. We can’t wait to do it again next year! 🍑🛍️🚗

Did someone say funnel cake for breakfast? 👀🍑

At Peaches to the Beaches, the rules are a little different… and dessert for breakfast is totally acceptable! While you’re out hunting for treasures along the route, be sure to stop for a hot, fresh funnel cake piled high with powdered sugar. It’s the perfect sweet start to a day of shopping, exploring, and enjoying small-town Georgia.

Grab your coffee, bring your friends, and make a day of it. You never know what you’ll find at the next stop—but we’re pretty sure a funnel cake makes everything better.

What a sweet day at Miles Berry Farm on January 7th! 🍓

We had the pleasure of welcoming the North American Strawberry Growers Association (NASGA), who rolled in by the busload for a farm tour. Growers from across the U.S., Canada, and even the UK came ready to learn, ask great questions, and enjoy some fresh strawberry shortcake.

We love seeing our local farms shine on an international stage and getting to learn more about what makes Miles Berry Farm such a success right here in our community.

Thank you to the Miles family for including us — this is agritourism and grower collaboration at its very best.
