You've seen their cheeses on high end lists for years as well as on the best grocer's shelves. We love to lunch at this great place on Broad Street. The Hanger Steak Salad is our favorite, but you really can't miss out on their pimento cheese! No time to sit? They have a great retail spot just inside as well.

This little spot in the-middle-of-what-seems-like-nowhere, Georgia, is worth the drive. Just half an hour from Wimsam (and a straight shot), the fresh peaches are plucked right from the fields and the homemade peach ice cream is worth every moment. This is a great spot for a weekend drive through beautiful plantation quail country. It’s really just a few minutes from I-75, so if you’re in town during their open season (Spring and Summer only), make Barney your I-75 entrance/exit. They also have a wonderful selection of local produce including blueberries, bicolor corn, tomatoes, melons of all varieties, and more flavors of ice cream and and sno cones. Burton’s is our family’s favorite ice cream stand, but be prepared for a little competition. There’s another competing peach orchard on the opposite corner with ice cream, too!

This shop reminds me of my favorite spot in London, the haberdashery at Liberty. I’m not even into yarn art or sewing, but this shop is cottage core at it’s finest and you’ll be so inspired just strolling through. If you are a knitter, you’ll be one step closer to heaven.

Hunting is a way of life. Be aware.
Quail hunting is a way of life in Thomasville and Thomas County. Much of the local economy revolves around this sport and the conservation of land and the local bob-white quail population. Be aware that some stores downtown sell guns including handguns, shotguns, and rifles. There are also taxidermy pieces in many locations, so don't be caught off guard when you see an elk or zebra downtown Thomasville.
