If you’re a foodie like myself, then you may genuinely appreciate that I saved this episode for the season finale of Sweet Tea & History. Farm-to-table really rose in popularity some years ago and one factory and restauranteur has taken that concept to heart. Jessica Little is a co-owner of Sweet Grass Dairy in Thomasville. It’s a cheese manufacturing facility that produces some delicious, award-winning cheeses right here in South Georgia. But it doesn’t stop there. Sweet Grass Dairy also has a restaurant in the heart of the Rose City and it’s called... The Cheese Shop. So if you want to know more about a cheesy South Georgia treasure, where you can buy the award-winning cheeses or just want to get a taste of Thomasville, make sure to listen to this week's episode of Sweet Tea & History.

War reenactments are pretty popular in the south. From all different decades, the U.S. has been the battleground for many conflicts. And to bring life to our history are the people who dedicate their time, effort and energy to knowing the details of the battles so they can bring them back to life. Whether you're in it for the opportunity to experience history first-hand, just want an excuse to go camping (albeit in historically accurate dwellings) or just want to see a battle up close, war reenactments offer a way for kids, teens and adults to see history up close and in person. And the reenactors love getting a chance to teach people about the way life was years ago. So join me in getting to know the people who help bring history to life on a battlefield in South Georgia's own backyard. 

If you want, need or are looking for a weekend getaway, Lakeland is a great option in South Georgia! Banks Lake, the Milltown Murals, a butterfly garden and so much more. And the thing is, the city is right at the intersection of Highway 129, Route 221 and Highway 135. So if you've traveled through South Georgia, it's possible you've already driven through Lakeland. But if you weren't looking for all of the southern charm the city offers, you may have missed it. However, there's a lot to love about Lakeland whether you're a fan of classic cars, fishing at a beautiful Lake, enjoying the history and beauty of the Milltown murals or just looking for some homegrown products.
