About Baker County Fair
Baker County (whose seat is the tiny town of Newton — not Newton County whose seat is Covington) is one of Georgia's least populous counties in the southwest Georgia Black Belt, where peanut farming, quail hunting plantations, and cattle ranching define the landscape of one of the most rural corners of the state.
What to Expect
Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Baker County's peanut and cattle farming heritage in the southwest Georgia coastal plain.
Visitor Tips
Newton is the Baker County seat (this is Baker County's Newton, not Newton County) in rural SW Georgia near Albany. The quail hunting plantation culture of this region makes it a distinctive corner of Georgia's agricultural landscape.
