Roadside Farmer’s Market

The new farmer’s market is a roadside market that sells the produce grown on our farm. Whether you desire fresh fruits and vegetables, one of Sandy’s homemade pies, apple cider, homemade jams, or a candied apple, you can find it all in our market. In addition, it’s open for business 61 hours per week!

Trio Barn

We are proud of our new 8,000 square foot Trio Barn that houses our animals in the 6,000 square foot main room, and a 2,000 square foot attached room that houses Sandy’s Kitchen. The petting zoo is a fenced-in area located on the north and west sides of the Trio Barn.

Introduction

Third generation owners of 300+ acre Slater Farms, brothers Mike and Alex Slater and their sister Sandy (nicknamed The Trio) have expanded the farm to include a roadside farmer’s market, a barn for events and cooking classes, a petting zoo, and a new program for school field trips.This presentation highlights both the “fun” and the “flavor” of this farm experience.

Sandy’s Kitchen

Petting ZooA petting zoo is all about animals and education. Animals help children to learn about responsibility, care, and kindness. Our friendly animals include:ChickensCows (Betsy is our favorite!)DucksGoatsKittensLlamasPigsPoniesReindeerSheepChildren are allowed to feed and pet some of the animals and to ride on others. Petting zoo birthday parties are always lots of fun, and we can put together a custom package where you get to choose which animals to include in your birthday celebration.Our animals enjoy their visitors and our visitors enjoy our animals—an educational and delightful encounter for all!

Corn Maze

Find some fun by getting lost. Yes, there’s lots of fun to be had in our new corn maze!Did you know that our corn maze is in the shape of our favorite cow, Betsy?Everyone who finishes the corn maze within 20 minutes gets a free sugar pumpkin and a candied apple.

Pumpkin Patch

One of our most popular attractions is the 15-minute hayride to and from the pumpkin patch. Our hayride drivers, Roland and Roger, will entertain you with their dry humor. There’s a section of the trail where only one hay wagon can pass at a time. If it’s Roger’s turn to take his hay wagon across, he says into the walkie-talkie “rollin, Roland,” and Roland responds with “Roger, Roger.” You’re sure to chuckle with those two in charge. Upon your return, if you need help off of the hay wagon or to carry your pumpkins, they are always there to assist you. And, no tipping, please!

Apple Orchard

Our orchard, with its 21 varieties of apples, is a popular destination for our customers. The most frequently asked question is about the sweetness and tartness of each variety and when each variety is in season. The following chart provides that information.

Watermelon Patch

Our 5-acre watermelon patch produces big, plump, juicy watermelons, both round and oblong, to be picked and sold in our farmer’s market, shipped to local grocery stores and supermarkets, and used in Grandma Slater’s Watermelon/Peach Salsa. We grow ten different varieties of watermelons. They are:

1. Crimson Sweet

2. Royal sweet3. Mirage4. Huck Finn5. Au Producer6. Regency7. Jubilee8. Jubilation9. Au Jubilant10.Royal Jubilee

There is no substitute for a Georgia peach!At Slater Farms, we grow a variety of Clingstone, freestone, and Semi-Freestone peaches. You are invited to pick your own from our orchard, or stop by our farmer’s market and choose from our fresh, sweet, ready-picked assortment.
