What travellers are saying
- jacklew2014Waynesboro, Georgia3 contributionsOh this wasn’t our first visit…and it definitely won’t be our last. We love everything about this place from walking the grounds seeing the animals enjoying their breakfast, to taking pictures of the breathtaking views, to filling our cooler with delicious meats, cheeses, and lots of other good things!!
Just like their beef, the folks there are #1!!
Did I mention that we’re about four hours away.

The trillium was my favorite. I didn’t dislike anything I tried.Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rachel MFort Myers, FL4 contributionsLoved the old barn. Great toy bucket to keep my youngest happy. Good wine selection, but fewer wines and a higher wine tasting fee than others. I loved the Traminette and would highly recommend it.Written 6 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Baybug2Macon, GA271 contributionsIt is neat. They needed a lot of help. Apple cider doughnuts were awesome. Ice cream was ok. Prices were high in my opinion.Written 25 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Appleseed2331Sanford, FL61 contributionsWe came out of season and it was a rainy day so it was not busy at all! Apple pies and hot apple cider is a must to get!!! So good! They also sell goods like a “general store”! Super cute and definitely need to stop here!Written 28 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Maren F1 contributionMy family and friends stayed in Elijay, GA for a week during our spring break. We live in Florida and wanted an escape to the mountains. The 6 adults and 5 kiddos explored waterfalls, hikes, vineyards, farms, shops, restaurants, and many other places in Elijay, Blue Ridge, and some surrounding cities. But none compared to the experience we had at Cress Creeks Farm! We first pulled up to the gorgeous scenery and landscape. We were first greeted by 3 VERY friendly sheep and 2 awesome turkeys. Their farm store was absolutely adorable and esthetically pleasing. We were able to purchase food for the sheep. All the adults and children got to pet and handfeed them. We met Lee (the owner) who asked if we wanted to drive down to the wide open land and see 2 twin baby lambs that had just been born the day before. This was like asking our kiddos if they wanted to take home a million dollars! Lee allowed all of us to hold the babies. It seriously made our entire trip. Before we left, we popped back into the store and bought meat and a few souvenirs. We cannot thank Lee's family enough for taking the time to go the extra mile and make our trip so memorable. We cannot wait to go back up during the fall for their incredible corn maze!! All 11 of us agreed it was by far the best part of our trip!Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erickson Ian C3 contributionsRebecca gave us her top choices and it did not disappoint! The JB IPA was my favorite! But there were a couple more tasty beers. Not to mention there was an open mic with a great violinist and guitarist/singer. Can’t wait to come back!Written 4 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Orson HSuwanee, GA27 contributionsThe owner, Kevin, hit the ball out of the park last Saturday!! My tour clients LOVED Kevin and his VIP winery tour! Loved it!! All of my clients, past and present, who have taken Kevin’s VIP winery tour have loved it. And a barrel tasting is included! It’s exceptional. The people behind the bar are super nice and enjoyable to converse with. Buckley is at the top of my list when my clients want to visit wineries in North Georgia. Buckley has delicious wines, too. A wonderful and memorable experience.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
