We know that we told you a bit about our time at the World Cheese Championships, but now that we're settled back in we wanted to give y'all some more details! Just five years since we've opened our dairy, and we're so pleased to say that we brought three medals back to Swainsboro, Georgia, from the World Championship Cheese Contest held in Madison, Wisconsin! There were over 2,300 entries from across the globe, and we ere the only dairy from the state to return to the Peach State with medals in hand. Read more about our adventures in our latest press release!

We are SO excited about our awards yesterday at the 2010 World Cheese Championship yesterday! We took awards in the Bandaged Cheddar, Mild to Medium category and Surface (Mold) Ripened Mixed Milk Cheeses category. Congrats to the entire team on this victory - and throwing Swainsboro into the limelight! You can also check out our cheese online. More details to come on our experiences and the awards!

We are so excited to have St. Benedict's Women's Group at the Lodge for a second time this April! The ladies had so much fun last time, and we know that they'll enjoy the spring weather at the lodge! We are booking now for spring women's groups, class reunions and family reunions! With everything from paintball to polished toes, we've got something to suit your interests.  Make it easy on yourself and let us plan the rest!

We have had a plentiful quail season down here at the Lodge, but season comes to a close on March 31st.  We're getting in the last of our shoots through the end of the month.  Thank goodness that it's almost turkey time, with the season opening on March 20th through May 15th.  We've already had lots of turkey sightings, so we hope to see  you down at the lodge soon!

We shared with you in January the winners of the Land O'Frost/O'Neill Outside Flat Creek Lodge Promotional Contest, and we were glad to host them this past week.

The show will air on August 12-15 and November 11-14th!

Thanks for your kind comments, O'Neill and for sharing the photos below!

Lodging:  First Class
Food:  Gourmet
Quail Hunting:   100 quail a day with excellent dogs and guides
Hog Hunting:  250 pound boar taken with a muzzleloader
Overall:   There is no better plantation for quail in Georgia.   It's more of a resort than a hunting destination.
