Sweet South Strawberry Farm & SSS Farms — Attraction in Thomaston

Worth the trip if the priority is strawberry u-pick. Kids were thrilled to learn about picking their own strawberries and the other places I’ve gone to in past had closed the u-pick that day. Plentiful juicey strawberries for many rows. Tip - bring water bottle with you while you pick so you can rinse before sampling, and stay hydrated

Doesn’t have a large indoor market and farm games which can be a distraction. Not commercial or crowded like alot of other places, so I don’t see it as a con.

The fresh strawberry ice cream and slushy we both hits with the kids and adults. We all ended up eating both. I would have gotten a gallon of ice cream to go if they weren’t sold out, very delicious.

Cons - bathroom out of service, if you have young children on a farm for an hour then you understand how much of a con this can be.

Surprise Highlight - I was able to stock up on some family made local honey. Very reasonable prices...

Ice cream was some of the best homemade strawberry ice cream. However the $20 prepacked strawberries went bad the very next day. As we pulled them one by one out to wash and prepare, a huge ball of hairy mold was in the center of the bucket. Not what we imagined less than 12 hours later from pick up. Thou the people working the counter were very pleasant, the...
