Just outside Douglas, GA, you’ll find a little farm with a big story. Laniebug Farms, owned and operated by John Hayes, is more than just a blueberry and blackberry operation. It’s a place where family roots and farming dreams grow side by side. Our team had the chance to spend some time with John and his daughter on what most would consider one of the dog days of late summer in south Georgia. Already post this year’s blackberry harvest, we walked through the spent fields where this year’s canes will eventually give way to next year’s fruit as John shared his story.
