Ivy visits a lifelong favorite farm stand, Mark's Melon Patch in Dawson, Georgia.
Transcript
00:00One thing about a Southerner on a road trip is if we pass one of our favorite roadside stands,
00:04we're gonna make a pit stop. My husband and I make the five-hour trip from Birmingham to my
00:08hometown of Multra, Georgia several times a year. I can't remember a time when we haven't pulled
00:12over for Mark's Mellon Patch. Right on Highway 82, even people not from around here stop at
00:18Mark's on their way to the beach. Mark's has gotten so much bigger since I came as a kid.
00:21It's complete with a petting zoo, gym mine, and a playground, which makes it the perfect place for
00:26a little road trip pit stop. You can get all the local produce as well as jellies, cane syrup,
00:31and homemade pecan pies, but you cannot leave without the soft serve and some hot boiled
00:36peanuts for the road. Who's been to Mark's?
