I am from Texas and discovered the Farm while working a contract in Atlanta. The DZO's Hans and Sandy are great people and will go out of their way for anyone - they even arranged to have another fun jumper pick me up in Mid-town Atlanta and give me a lift out there for the weekend. Its up in North Georgia woods, but with plenty of outs, beautful country. They have a nice clean bunkhouse, plenty of room for campers and trailers, hot showers, washer & dryers, large packing area, very professional staff and very easy going.
They really go out of their way to make you feel at home and ensure you have a great time. I have seen people come out and have a cut-away on their first or second jump of the weekend and the master rigger will drop everything and get you back in the air in a matter of a couple of hours...
Usually they fly a grand caravan and or porter, a little slow to altiitude, but good planes with great pilots and big doors. They are also happy to accommodate special requests - I love to do cross-country jumps, especially when there are winds at altitude...all I have to do is tell the pilot where I want to get out - and they will put me there - even 10 miles out!
Its a very family oriented DZ, lots of people bring their kids and they are running around on moterbikes or whatever having a good time.
Greg, who owns the land can often be found outside in the afternoon cooking bbq for everyone (free!).
Nite time on the weekend is always a good time. There is usually a poker game going on Saturday night and good parties all over the place. No "big screen" tv, but they do have a good sized TV in manifest with a few couches and DirectTV, along with wireless internet access.
I live in Texas and still make my way to the Farm at least a few times a year. Once a month they have a $139 boogie - all you can jump Sat and Sun for $139 - definately worth it.
The landing area is 55 acres, nice flat, soft grass that is well cared for. Two large ponds, plenty of outs...I have landed off a dozen times there and had people actually give me lemonaide when I landed in their pasture, and a ride back to the DZ - just good ole country folk.
Can't reccommend The Farm highly enough! Good time guaranteed. Thanks Hans & Sandy - see you soon!
