Get a taste of what farm life is like at the Pecan Orchard Plantation! These outdoor classroom experiences are designed for families, groups and school field trips. Pack up the kids and a picnic lunch, or put the class on a school bus and enjoy a unique agriventure in the Long Pond community. Your children and/or class will like feeding the animals in the petting area, taking a hay ride, running through the corn maze (when in season) and wide open spaces. They also offer Easter egg hunts, a great pumpkin patch in October, lessons on fruit and agriculture in Mrs. Scott's outdoor classroom, and sometimes they even make old-fashioned cane syrup. Field trips are offered in spring, fall and summer to groups of all kinds, from scout troops to church groups — to groups of friends and family. Take a run through their sweet Vidalia onion oat field maze and enjoy their Vidalia Onion Festival activities. $7 per person and group rates are available for 15 or more. Open March-Dec, Monday through Saturday: 9:00am-1:00pm Hwy 135 W., Right on Alston/Mt. Vernon Rd., Left on Alston/Longpond Rd., Left onto Salem Rd.
