Our Magical 4 Acre Farm
Fifth Day Farm is owned and operated by Janet Hendley and husband Steve. They also get help from their children. Both of the Hendley's worked full time jobs when they started buying a couple of animals.
Then they began to rescue animals in need of love and forever homes. What started out as a hobby that the entire family loves. Has led to Janet to run the farm full time. With help from the rest of her family, of course.
Fifth Day Farm located at 5732 Clyattville-Nankin Rd, Valdosta, GA 31601 is a Petting Farm. We opened our farm to the public a few years ago. It is a lot of hard work but it is all worth it, seeing the joy on people's faces.
We added a picnic area under our 410 year oak tree. It is the perfect spot to have lunch. Tables are available with admission to the farm unless there is a private party during your visit.
