Calhoun Produce Inc. was incorporated in 1992 and is
located at 5075 Hawpond Road in Ashburn, Georgia. It is owned and operated by
Gerald and Joyce Calhoun, their son Brad, and daughter Sheila Rice.
The farm is a Georgia Agri-tourism site. In the
spring we grow five acres of strawberries in Turner and Worth counties. You can
bring your family out and enjoy picking strawberries, eating homemade strawberry
ice cream, strawberry shortcake and strawberry lemonade. We have a family
shelter for picnics and birthday parties. We offer spring and fall field trips
daily for area schools, home schools, church groups, etc.
Blackberry picking season is late May- mid July.
Our main crop is fresh shelled butterbeans and peas. We begin picking in early
June to late October. The business has grown continuously with several area
farmers growing butterbeans and peas for us also. We harvest, process, and
market the vegetables. The butterbeans and peas are shelled and packed in 8 lb
bags. We grow a variety of peas including: pink eyes, zippers, creams, white
acres, lady fingers, crowders and black eyes.
We also carry many other seasonal fruits and vegetables grown locally. We
operate three seasonal farm markets at their farm in Turner county, in Worth
county and on the Cordele State Farmers Market.
In October, we have a corn maze, pumpkin patch and sunflower field. The fall
activities are open to the public on Saturdays and open for field trips during
the week.
We specialize in "AGRITAINMENT"
We also blanch and freeze fruits and vegetables on the farm to sell year round.
We offer farm tours and school field trips during the spring and fall.
During the Christmas season we special in gift baskets and gift boxes. We carry
John Deere toys and collectibles, farm related items, farm home décor, gourmet
jellies and jams, local honey, fresh breads, chocolate candy and brittles..
