From Flight Deck to Farm Rows: Retired Couple Grows Second Career at Beak and Berry Farm
3After retiring from a career in aviation, Patti Laney and her husband traded runways for rows of berries—launching Beak and Berry Farm, a thriving U-Pick operation in Senoia, Georgia.
What started with 100 blueberry bushes quickly expanded to include strawberries and blackberries, thanks to a love for learning, YouTube tutorials, and help from UGA Extension and Farm Bureau. Damon Jones visits the farm to hear how the couple turned their second act into a full-time passion rooted in fresh fruit, community service, and a whole lot of fun.
Whether it’s picking ripe berries or digging up strawberry plants for a good cause, this is one retirement story that’s sweeter than most.
