The Farm encourages everyone to come to our first annual Skidaway Farms Fall Festival on October 13th and 14th. Farmers, families and folks interested in learning more about our Farm are all welcome!

Saturday’s activities will include a Pumpkin Carving Contest for the children…pumpkins will be provided by the Farm… and a Best-in-Farm Scarecrow Contest for the adults. A pot luck lunch featuring full-fall-fare will be set up for all the Farmers and their guests so pitch in and bring a dish – some fun-finger-food or a flavorful entree or dessert. RSVP event coordinator, Cathy Adler at cadlercarolina@bellsouth.net and let us know what you have in mind so we can supply the right amount of plates and utensils.

The Festival continues on Sunday the 14th with another of our Farmer Education Series. Coastal Georgia Beekeeper’s Association president, Greg Stewart will be at the Farm to talk about our European Honey Bee hives. This event is open to the public and starts at noontime.
