👨👩👧👦 Is it Kid-Friendly?
Yes! Families are always welcome at Green Thumb Farm in Samford Valley.
Green Thumb is a community farm where families can slow down, connect, and enjoy time together in nature.
Grab a coffee from our onsite van, settle into our shady seating area, play a game of chess, or let the kids kick a ball around while you relax. Younger children can enjoy nature play in our Little Green Thumbs play area, and there’s plenty of space to explore.
Don’t miss our free self-guided farm walk—a gentle stroll through the farm where you can see seasonal produce, spot pollinators, and learn about how food is grown using regenerative farming principles.
Green Thumb is more than a market—it’s a place were we are fostering old fashioned connection.
