Playing this Friday 1pm-3pm Gregg Erwin

A family man, born in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and raised on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, found his country roots as he stomped through the trails of Appalachia. At the tender age of 8 years old, Gregg was singing for church audiences all over North Georgia. It was not until much later in his life that he picked up the guitar and taught himself to play by ear. His passion for music, his family, his faith and his country has driven him to success.

Inspired by legendary artists such as Merle Haggard, George Jones, Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings, Gregg soon discovered he too had been branded “Outlaw Country”. Though he covers many of the well-known hits of these honky-tonk heroes, it was the lyrical heart of Keith Whitley that inspired Gregg to launch his songwriting career

🐻 Encounter at Reece Farm

We had an unforgettable experience—a black bear sighting! 

The bear appeared calm and uninterested in my presence, allowing me to observe from a safe distance before it peacefully wandered back into the woods.

This encounter was a powerful reminder of the importance of coexisting respectfully with wildlife. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources emphasizes the BearWise principles, advising hikers to stay alert, make noise to avoid surprising bears, and never feed them . 

Reece Farm offers a glimpse into traditional Appalachian farm life and is connected to Vogel State Park via the Reece Farm Heritage Trail . The area is rich in natural beauty and wildlife, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. 

If you’re planning a visit, remember to respect the wildlife and enjoy the serene beauty of the North Georgia mountains🐻

Our Story

Byron Herbert Reece, often called "Hub," was born on September 14, 1917, in the Choestoe District of Union County, Georgia. In the 40 plus years of his life, he worked hard as a subsistence farmer on his family's Appalachian homestead. His love of literature and gift for writing emerged in childhood, and over the course of his life, Reece produced four volumes of poetry and two novels to critical acclaim. He also received numerous awards for his writing, including American Poet's magazine award in 1943.

The Reece Heritage Farm is located in Union County, Georgia, just south of Blairsville. We are dedicated to preserving Reece’s legacy and the early 20th Century Appalachian style of life. The site offers something for all ages: exhibits, local hand-made goods for sale, and farm animals to meet.
