Fifth Day Farm is owned and operated by Janet Hendley and husband Steve. They also get help from their children. Both of the Hendley's worked fulltime jobs when they started buying a couple of animals. Then they began to rescue animals in need of love and forever homes. What started out as a hobby that the entire family loves. Has led to Janet to run the farm fulltime. With help from the rest of her family, of course. Fifth Day Farm located at 5732 Clyattville-Nankin Rd, Valdosta, GA 31601 is a Petting Farm. We opened our farm to the public a few years ago. It is a lot of hard work but it is all worth it, seeing the joy on people's faces.

Georgia Beer Co. is the southernmost brewery in the state. We brew most of our beers true to traditional style, but with as many Georgia-grown ingredients as we can get our hands on. Our founders, Chris Jones and Jack "J. Ryce" Martin, met while attending college at Valdosta State University. After graduating, they both started careers and families, and their friendship grew stronger. But in 2014, the duo hatched a plan to become Valdosta, Georgia's first brewery, and began brewing beer in J. Ryce's garage. "You could say it was the beer that introduced us in college, and now it' the beer that keeps us together," said co-founder Jack "J. Ryce" Martin.
