Spring Activities at Dickey Farms
Spring has arrived in Georgia. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming fields under bright, sunny skies, making it the perfect time to spend some time with your family away from screens.
That's where Dickey Farms comes in. More than just a farm, we're a historic destination that allows families to unplug, slow down and make memories that will last a lifetime. From strolling the rows of ripening strawberries to embarking on a farm tour, we offer wholesome spring activities on Georgia's oldest peach packinghouse grounds.
Reconnect With Nature and Each Other
There's something about breathing in the open air that soothes the soul. Our wide, open spaces and exciting playground allow kids to let their imaginations run wild, with research showing that time outdoors can help children by lowering anxiety, improving moods and even helping them sleep better.
Parents, meanwhile, can relax in rocking chairs beneath the pavilion as they watch their kids play happily on the farm playground. It's an authentic, family-focused experience that teaches kids where their food comes from in a safe, welcoming environment.
For schools, we are also open to field trips in the spring. Children will receive education on strawberries and honeybees while having the opportunity to enjoy berry picking, activities stations, treats and more.
The Sweetest Strawberry Picking in Georgia
Nothing compares to the taste of a freshly-picked strawberry. Unlike standard strawberries found at the grocery store, our strawberries are harvested at peak ripeness for maximum sweetness and flavor.
During spring at Dickey Farms, you and your family can enjoy our U-Pick experience, with buckets provided and rows of juicy berries ready for small hands to pluck. There's no joy quite like the simple act of walking our fields, spotting the reddest berries and gathering your own fresh fruit. Every bite is a reward for the effort, and every bucket is a memory made.
It's a simple joy that lingers, with sticky fingers, shared laughter and the soft, golden glow of a day spent exploring the strawberry farm together.
From Field to Spoon
Once picking is over, the adventure continues at our spring farm market and bakery. Treat the whole family to mouthwatering delights, including:
- Homemade strawberry jam (made on-site)
- Strawberry fritters and breads
- Strawberry shortcake
You'll also find a variety of tasty local goods to take home, like jams, jellies and seasonal veggies, bringing that farm-fresh taste straight into your kitchen.
