We all know that eating healthy, fresh food is vital to our health. People living in McDonough homes are really lucky because farm-fresh produce is a short drive away at Southern Belle Farm. Head to their Country Market to find a variety of seasonal produce, as well as honey and canned peaches. Get fresh baked goods, along with jams and jellies. You can also find cider and kettle corn. Commemorate your trip to the farm by buying a Southern Belle Farm hat or tin mug.

Each season has its own special activities and produce. McDonough real estate owners come and pick delicious strawberries in spring. They are sold by the gallon. Pick your own gallon for $13 or choose a pre-picked gallon for $16. There are fun activities, too, like pedal carts, giant jumping pillows, and a cow train. In the summer, you can get peaches, blackberries, and blueberries. Visitors can also meet the farm animals--goats, cows, chickens, and donkeys.

Fall is Fun on McDonough Real Estate at the Farm

When fall rolls around, the fun really begins. The season runs from about September 21st through early November. Pick pumpkins to carve and decorate McDonough homes. Outsmart the corn maze, take a ride on the hay wagon and shoot off one of the corn canons. Watch rubber duck races and pig races. Play in the corn box and try the giant tunnel slide. You can have a campfire party at the farm, too. Get kits for s’mores or hot dogs and reserve your spot.

The Christmas season starts up after Thanksgiving. Find a fresh Fraser fir Christmas tree and plan to get hot cider and fresh cookies. On the weekends, kids can meet Santa and take photos with him through the middle of December. Then he has to go back to the North Pole to put the finishing touches on the Christmas gifts.

Maybe you’re looking around at Henry County homes and you want a place to relax and regroup. Or you’ve lived here for a while and need a place to go meet friends.

Operating hours are Thursday from 5:30 to 9 p.m.; Friday from 5 to 10 p.m.; Saturday from noon to 10 p.m.; and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Since it opened in 2009, Jailhouse Brewing has been dedicated to creating amazing beer and encouraging community.

A flight of four 5-ounce samples is $8. Once you’ve settled on your favorite, have an 11-ounce pour or a full 16-ounce pint. There are two taproom spaces: the indoor Watchtower and the outdoor Yard. Friday’s Happy Hour runs from 5 to 6 p.m. Some pints are discounted to $3.

Henry County Real Estate Owners Can Take Beer Home or Host a Party at the Brewery

Some folks would rather enjoy their beer at their Henry County homes. Jailhouse Brewing is able to offer several great to-go beers in both bottles and cans. In addition, they can fill a growler for you. On the other hand, if you want to plan a party and not worry about set up or clean up, call Jailhouse and rent out the Watchtower for your event. It’s perfect for graduation, baby or bridal showers, or birthday parties.

Nothing goes so well with locally brewed beer as live local music. Follow Jailhouse Brewing on Facebook to keep up with music events, as well as beer release parties and other fun happenings. Visit their website to see the current list of available beers and plan your visit.
