Get a taste of wild nature in metro Atlanta
Even if you live in the city, you can still get a taste of the slower pace of country living without having to drive for hours. Radio personality Reec shares his five favorite places to go and experience the wilder side of life.
Reec Swiney gives the best farming locations in Georgia: Here are 5 places I’ve taken my family that offer the farm experience, and they are located in metro Atlanta. They each have activities and are low cost. The fifth is the drive though safari in Pine Mountain. It’s a little further out but if you want a giraffe to eat out of your hand, this is the pace to be!
1. Sleepy Hollow - they have farm animals, you can purchase farm fresh goods and groceries, they have a kids play zone and even an escape woods.
2. Upendo Estates offers llama painting, and even has an air bnb if you want to escape from the city.
3. Buddy’s Alpaca Farm offers some really neat up close experience with alpaca. They have some nice merchandise and kids activities.
4 Petit Creek Farms has many exotic animals, activities and a petting zoo area.
5. Wild Animal Safari. In Pine Mountain. It’s a little further out, but you can ride through and see hundreds of exotic animals and they can eat right out of your hand. If you don’t want to ride your car though, they have vans you can use for a small fee.
I’ve posted all these on my social media @BlackyardChickenz and @ReecSwiney
