Manager
I’m a recent UGA horticulture alumni Who received my B.S.A in May of 2021. I emphasized in sustainable food production; so my degree focused on becoming a Sustainable Farm Owner.
Having leased land at different organic farms, I have learned a multiple of sustainable food production areas.
I began growing no till vegetables in May of 2014, then began raising pastured poultry on a certified organic farm in 2019, and currently finishing my final lease; as I begin to move onto my forever Farm property.
My dedication is sustainability and organic farming really shows through our Farm’s Market appearance, the food we produce , and the positive morale we carry.
We hope to become a model for other 1st generation young farmers who are dedicated to sustainable food production and land stewardship.
