a couple of weeks ago, we made our way down to plains, georgia. everything in plains revolves around jimmy carter, peanuts, and most often both. we even had some peanut ice cream.
our first stop was at the historical site where jimmy grew up; his boyhood farm. the farm sat on 360 acres where his family grew peanuts cotton, corn, and vegetables to sell. we were told that we had just missed the president, he brought his grandson to the farm for a visit.
we then drove into downtown where we visited the school that he and rosalynn attended and saw the old campaign headquarters.
the next day we attended a church service where president carter was teaching sunday school. at the end of the service he takes pictures with everyone. the church was designed by carter’s interior designer for the white house, hence the 70′s vibes.
sharing some pics from our very “jimmy carter” weekend…..
the small store located next to their home where they sold vegetables and farm supplies to nearby neighbors.
on the weekends they have demonstrations of farm activities. they were blacksmithing when we were there.
the farm has several animals living on site; chickens, peacocks, horses, goats to name a few.
