The Farm!!

Hike on the mountain

04/16/2012 12:03:00

Saturday was such a beautiful day my sister Paula and myself decided to hike up the mountain

here at Andy's Trout Farm and look for a waterfall we used to go to as kids. Well I am just going to

start by saying I am no longer a kid and it is much steeper than it use to be!!!

We spent many an afternoon when we were younger hiking the woods with our Papa Andy.

He had such a gift for showing us the wonders in the woods.
We did find the waterfall known to us as Harrell Falls. Named after one of the journalist that

helped Papa put the trout farm on the map, who also happened to end up taking a little swim at the

waterfall.

It is amazing to me as you walk thru the woods in the spring at all the delicate wild flowers that only bloom

for a day or two that we good to admire. Paula almost had a heart attack when a pheasant or some bird

of that kind flew off its nest right as we walked by, there were 5 eggs in the nest.

We tell ourselves every time we do this we need to go more often. What a fabulous place we get

to live in and explore.

Andy Cope went on to be with Jesus and Granny on Jan 30, 2012.

He led an amazing life and we were blessed to be his grand

children. Our kids had an opportunity that many never get to experience, they spent time daily with their great-grandparents, learning and listening to their stories and absorbing their love and wisdom. Here is a link to learn a little of Papa's amazing story.

Bluegrass and Fish Fry

I am excited and looking forward to our Bluegrass and Fish Fry coming up over Labor Day. I have enjoyed talking with Mr. Jones who is one of the

members of the Tallulah River Bluegrass Band and it going to be a great time of music and fellowship. I was thinking the other day about the cookouts and music and dancing here at Andy's Trout Farm. when I was a lttle girl. We always had the best time and I am looking forward to that again. I hope we have lots of people come out to share the fun with us.

This year at Andy's Trout Farm started in heart break and celebration at the same time. Our beloved Granny, Hazel Cope co-founder of Andy's Trout Farm went to Heaven to be with Jesus. April 27th in the midst of the tornados that ravaged Rabun County Granny's soul left this earth. We miss her so much but celebrated the life she lived and the love

she shared with all us and all the people who passed thru her life as she served at

Andy's Trout Farm.

Wow it hardly seems possible but we are ending another year in a couple of weeks. We have been enjoying our 45th season of Andy's . Troy and I have been here for 22 years. Time sure does fly, but what a good time it has been. We have made so many friends and are thankful for all our blessings.

Life at Andy's

Wow I am just getting started with this blogging thing. Times sure have change in the 45 years that Andy's Trout Farm has been in business. My grandparents Andy and Hazel Cope started the farm in 1965 and my family has been involved full time since 1988. What a privilege to get to be a part of something bigger than just ourselves! We have made the most wonderful friends over the years and look forward to seeing them again and again. I hope to use this blog to let everyone know about the farm and all the history we have been apart of over the years. Families bring new members to see us each year and start them on their own tradition of catching a fish at Andy's!!
