James Harris @ Serenbe
May 9th, 2008 Posted in Community
This past Sunday we packed the kids up and headed to Serenbe in Palmetto, Georgia. It is a pretty interesting little community nestled amongst the yellow pines south of Atlanta. My friend, James Harris, of Elemental Interactive fame owns a quaint general store there.
When I found James he was leading a group of customers through a honey tasting session. I was particularly interested in a pecan honey – he had taken some pecans grown on his family farm and soaked them in organic honey for about a month. Good stuff!
James’ store, Harris & Clark, has a great selection of tasty food, sundries, and things you will remember from your childhood (pixie sticks come to mind).
The Serenbe community includes a 25 acre farm, riding stables, and an inn that caters to business meetings, weddings and other celebrations.
There are several great restaurants to consider and numerous shops and art galleries to look through (you know the kids will appreciate these times later in life). If you really catch the Serenbe bug you can buy a cottage, town home or one of the live/work loft sites.
I’d highly recommend that you take the short drive to Serenbe. Lots of slow food, quaint shops, and friendly people. It’s great departure from the hectic life we seem to lead in Atlanta…
