Towerhouse Farm Brewery is situated on the grounds of Longleaf. It has grown to be an outstanding bi annual event that has artisans from all over the country bringing their unique items to The Cotton Fair. Housed in a repurposed tobacco barn, it is designed for merging old-world traditions and flavors with new-world brewing technologies.
Celebrated architect Keith Summerour came upon the town over two decades ago, and made Gay his home. The one thing in common between the venues, the events, the teams, is the dedication to creating an environment where everyone is welcome and comfortable!
Longleaf & Towerhouse Farm Brewery are now available for venue rentals!
Set on the original homestead of the town’s founding family, this one-of-a-kind property blends historic charm with modern character, perfect for weddings, parties, and gatherings of all kinds.
Located in the 1911 Building is the Brewery’s Taproom- The Ice Block, as well as an ultra - vibey space, The Vault. Rounding out the space is an atmospheric outdoor Bier Garten.
The brewery is a true farm to glass operation. In 2020, the Summerour family acquired the fair and grounds to preserve, restore and continue the fair for future generations.
The festival is a chance to discover over 300 unique, skilled artisans and one-of-a-kind crafts and antiques.
HISTORY
In 1972 the Gay family created an “invitation only” antiques, art, and craft festival to help showcase Meriwether County and its talent.
The Georgia Tourism Foundation honored The Cotton Pickin’ Fair as a Founding Producer of Distinction, and the Southeast Tourism Society has selected The Cotton Pickin’ Fair as a Top Twenty Event. Set amongst beautiful grounds, the restored historic buildings are lofty, built of wood, metals and beams.
