It’s a great way to locate fresh Georgia-grown food and enjoy fresh Georgia-grown experiences. With 101 CFMs across the state, most Georgians are a half-hour drive or less from at least one.

Among the CFMs are 10 farms new to the program: Lookout Lavender Farm in Rising Fawn, Powers Family Farm in Villa Rica, Nixon’s Fresh Honey in Byron, Mae’s on the Corner @ Rainbow Farms in Barnesville, Wargo’s Pumpkin Patch in Grantville, Back to the BASICS 101 in Cochran, Wagon Barn Market in Keysville, Watermelon Creek Vineyard in Glennville, Poppell Farms in Odum and Arena Acres in Perry.

The Farm Passport adds to the fun, awarding prizes to patrons who visit as few as five CFMs. Go to a CFM, (make a purchase) and get the farm operator to stamp your passport. The more you visit – the more stamps you collect – the better the prizes!

Here’s the prize breakdown: Collect five stamps and receive a limited edition t-shirt. Get 10 stamps and receive some awesome ag swag and the t-shirt. Those who achieve 20 stamps receive a farm tour with farm-to-able meal for one in spring of next year, as well as the t-shirt and ag swag. At 30 stamps, receive a special selection of CFM goods along with all of the previous prizes. Everyone who goes to every single farm in a single year to get their stamps will receive exclusive GFB The Traveler Jacket

This, year, the Farm Passport program has added an optional scavenger hunt through the Goosechase app to enhance farm travelers’ experiences. Participation is via smart phone app, and participants will complete “missions” for points, and a patron is entered into a drawing for additional prizes for as additional points are accumulated. New scavenger hunts will be introduced three times throughout the year to keep the mission seasonal, new and fun!

The scavenger hunt app will feature a live feed where travelers can share, their favorite recipes, places to eat, music playlists and more. See page 5 of the Farm Passport booklet for details on how to download the app.
