When is the farm stand stocked?

We take pride in our regular restocking schedule, though availability is always subject to the season and our small-batch production cycle. For the widest selection of fresh produce and handmade goods, we recommend visiting at the beginning of the weekend or early in the week.

Can I shop the farm stand if I’m not staying at the Airbnb?

Absolutely! Our farm stand and porch shop are proudly open to everyone in the community and all visitors to Dallas, Georgia. You do not need to be a guest at The Cozy Lakeside Retreat to enjoy our unique offerings and support local. We love connecting with our community!

What's the one most important thing to know before visiting Driftwood & Thyme?

The most important thing to remember is that our farm stand and porch shop feature small, seasonal, and limited-batch items. Availability can change quickly, so for the best selection, we highly recommend visiting earlier in the day. This is part of the charm of shopping small and local – everything is handmade and homegrown, meaning some items may sell out between restocks.

What makes your handmade goods, fresh eggs, or seasonal produce special?

Everything you find at Driftwood & Thyme is produced with care in small batches right here on our Dallas, Georgia homestead. Our candles, soaps, and home goods are crafted by hand with intention, our fresh eggs come from our well-cared-for hens, and our flowers and produce are grown seasonally and harvested by hand. This ensures our products are fresher, more seasonal, and more personal than mass-produced alternatives. When you shop with us, you're not just buying an item; you're supporting a small family-run homestead and bringing home goods made with a love for simple, slow living.
