The harvest of the season is one of the main reasons we party in the South. Enjoy the South's Biggest Watermelon Festival with live entertainment and lots of family fun or pick your own fruit in beautiful Southern apple orchards.

In the South, our Chefs pride themselves on preparing gourmet dishes from locally grown fruits and vegetables. Visit local Farmers Markets – usually open on Saturdays and one or two days during the week - you'll get a delicious insight into how much we appreciate the home grown goodness of Southern fruits and vegetables.
