B & B Family Farm is a family owned farm in northwest GA. We raise Heritage Breed Pineywoods cattle, pastured Heritage Breed Large Black hogs and Heritage Breed Dominique chickens for truly free range eggs.
Our cattle are 100% grass-fed; no grain or animal by-products ever. We use no hormones, antibiotics or de-wormers. We mix our own supplement per Joel Salatin’s Icelandic kelp recipe found in his book “You Can Farm.” Our cattle are moved every day to fresh grass and get a hearty supply of the famous Cave Spring water. The spring water has won awards for purity and taste. When natural forages are in short supply we feed only locally sourced hay.
Frequently moving our hogs provides them free access both pastures and woodlots where they enjoy forages, roots, nuts and persimmons. We supplement with locally grown grains using no hormones, antibiotics or de-wormers.
We provide beef in whole/half/split-quarter and pork in whole/half for bulk orders. We do have retail cuts available periodically at the farm store. Call Elizabeth or Russ for more information. Have a healthy day!

Dennis Farms is located in east central Alabama 7 miles from the Georgia state line. We grow lush, nutritious grass in our pastures using management intensive grazing principles to insure our animals are eating the grass at its best while improving our soils. We raise Red Angus cattle, Katahdin hair sheep and Tamworth heritage pigs to harvest our grass. At the appropriate stage of maturity, we harvest our animals to produce nutritious and delicious grass-fed beef, grass-fed lamb and pastured pork.
We raise our cows, sheep and pigs in a natural pastoral environment never giving growth-promoting antibiotics, hormones, or steroids. We believe that contented animals produce a superior product, so we strive for a low stress environment emphasizing the humane treatment of our livestock. We follow a strict grass-fed protocol with our cows and sheep, never feeding grain, animal byproducts or feed supplements. Our pigs graze the pasture along with the cows and sheep and receive supplemental grain as needed. The pigs are never on a self-feeder and we do not use farrowing crates.
Please take some time and explore our web site to better know us and our farm. You can also follow us on Facebook. We are proud of the effort we make to provide our customers a quality product that tastes good and is good for them.
Dennis Farms grass-fed beef is currently offered as whole cow “Primeburger.” Meat from the entire cow is evenly mixed together to provide a ground beef product with a taste and texture that’s like eating steak in a patty. Our Tamworth whole hog sausage consists of 100% of the meat from the hog and is much leaner, healthier and tastier than grocery store sausage. Pigs for roasting, halves and wholes are also available. Our grass-fed lamb comes as ground, chops and roasts and has the lighter more delicate flavor one gets from hair sheep. All of our animals are processed in a USDA inspected facility.
In the NW Atlanta area, our products are available through our friends and partners, the Hammond family at “My Dad and Me Family Farm” in Powder Springs, GA. Please call Susan or Tina (678-567-1826) for pricing and availability.

Farm 255 is a restaurant that seeks to reconnect
food to its roots and people to their food by serving local, seasonal,
and sustainable food for supper nightly. In addition to the restaurant,
we manage Full Moon Farms, an organic/biodynamic animal and vegetable
production farm in Athens.
Unlike the owners of any other restaurant
we know of, we are the folks sowing turnip seeds in the morning and cooking
turnip greens in the evening. We supplement our harvests with those of
other local family farmers and ranchers that avoid harmful chemicals
and practice sustainable agriculture.
Our menu, based on seasonal shifts
in the field, changes as often as the weather. Our meat comes from
pasture-raised animals and is
hormone and antibiotic free. We raise most of our own livestock, and
utilize whole animals and all the various cuts of meat throughout
our menu. We are as committed to good community as we are to our cuisine.
We have an open kitchen so that dinner is a dialogue, where the farmer-chefs
and diner-neighbors can have a meaningful exchange; we offer live music
every night in honor of its legacy in this town; and we designed our
restaurant with an eye toward the history of the 1930s building
that houses it.
For us here at the Farm, eating is a celebration
of food’s
origins, the paths it travels on the way to our tables, and the lessons
learned through the journey.

Florida
Fresh Beef Company, located in North Central Florida
(about 130 miles south of the Georgia border), produces
100% gourmet grass fed, organically raised, Aberdeen Angus beef from
free-range cattle that are raised on 850 acres of lush shaded pasture
in Citra, Florida. They feast on a salad bar of pesticide-free "gourmet" forage
including clover, wheat, oat and rye grass.
The cattle are then harvested not more than 40 miles
away at a USDA inspected facility. Once processed, the carcasses are
hung in an air ventilated refrigerated locker for up to 28 days for our "old
school" dry-aging process. This process naturally tenderizes the
meat and enhances its taste. The beef is then cut into gourmet roasts,
steaks and Angus Burger—a local Ocala favorite. Each cut of
beef, whether roast or steak, is individually packed in a vacuum bag
and air sealed for freshness. Beef is available by the individual cut,
various Variety Packs (saving $$$), or by the whole, half, quarter or
eighth beef.
Florida Fresh Beef Company, established in 2008,
is proud to be one of the first companies in almost 20 years to
produce fresh local meat available to the public under USDA inspection.
Our relationships with various like-minded grass-fed cattle ranchers
throughout the state have allowed us to develop a consistent supply
of healthy, delicious, local Florida beef available in bulk or individual
cuts throughout the year.
Florida Fresh Beef Company ships throughout the state
of Florida, Georgia, the Bahamas and US Virgin Islands, as well as the
continental USA. A South Florida supply outlet is currently in development
for the distribution of both regular and Glatt Kosher beef. We
have also sucessfully developed a share program for CSA’s and Buying
Clubs. We can divide a carcass into 8 or 16 equal shares to make it affordable
for families to get the benefit of buying the bulk beef in smaller quantities
while still saving. We do the shipping!

and to locate farmers markets where you can buy our beef.

4Mile Farm offers delicious all-natural grassfed beef and lamb. We have 60 hilly acres located in Ball Ground, GA. Our love of cooking healthy and delicious food led us to start raising our own grassfed beef and lamb. We are not a large operation and only keep as many animals as our pastures can sustain. Since we do not feed grain, we have to ensure that we don't overgraze our pastures.
Our methods are simple. Water and grass. No hormones to grow bigger animals, no antibiotics to keep them healthy. Because our animals live as nature intended: they are healthy, happy and easy to care for.
Our cattle and sheep spend a vast majority of their time out on pasture. In the winter, if it's cold and rainy, we will bring the animals into the barn to stay warm and dry. Being in Georgia, that is usually only a few days out of the year.
We offer USDA inspected grassfed beef and lamb by the cut. We sell at local farmer's markets—please contact us for updates—as well as to 61 Main, a wonderful nearby farm-to-table restaurant. We are located about an hour north of Atlanta and delivery is available.
Our goal is to produce the highest quality meat for our friends and family while respecting the animals that nourish us. We have received great reviews from our customers. But probably our biggest critic is our 6-year-old daughter who will eat an entire cheeseburger in a blink of an eye and often comes back for seconds and thirds on pot roast.

Little River Natural Beef offers a variety
of natural pasture-raised products including beef, chicken, goat,
and pork. All our products are raised under specific guidelines:
- Animals will consume no grain*, grain by-product, alternative feed
(chewing gum), or by-products from other animals. Animals will be
maintained and finished on natural grasses and forages. Cereal grains
are permissible in the vegetative state. Stored forage should be
in the form of cured grass or legume hay. No G.M.O's—forage
or not.
- Animals will be free from antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides,
and confinement.
- Animals will be of genetic type with the ability to finish on forage
at proper body condition and maturity. This will be established through
visual appraisal, genetic verifiers (tenderness gene), carcass testing,
or all inclusive.
- Animals should be humanely handled and processed with minimum amount
of stress and crowding. Cattle disposition should be scored and only
animals with suitable scores be eligible. High-strung animals lead
to handling difficulties and stress.
- Slaughtering and processing of these animals should also be accomplished
with minimum of stress. Slaughter facilities should only slaughter
forage-fed animals to avoid cross contamination of E-Coli from grain-fed
animals.
- Animals should not graze land treated with pesticides.
- Animals can be vaccinated with approved biologicals and dewormed
with products approved for grass-fed animals.
* Some natural grains are used in the finishing of
pork and poultry as they are not ruminants and cannot satisfy their
nutritional needs with grass and forage alone.

My Dad & Me Family Farm is located in Powder Springs, Georgia. We operate on a beautiful five-acre tract where we are seeking to be as sustainable as possible.
We are known for our wonderful, raw milk. We rationally graze our Jersey cows on pasture and supplement with hay and baleage. Our cows receive a very small amount of grain (4 pounds or less per day) and are treated with loving care. Happy, healthy, contented animals always produce the best quality products.
We raise some of the finest pastured broiler chicken and pastured rabbit fryers available! Cornish X Broiler chickens in moveable, bottomless pens similar to Joel Salatin’s method: fresh water, antibiotic-FREE grain, and daily access to new grass. We raise the birds for 59 days and average a 4 to 4.25 lb. dressed bird.The pastured rabbit fryers are raised similarly in moveable pens with fresh water, pellets, and daily new grass access. We also have grass-fed and pastured meats from Dennis Farms in Alabama.
Also available for sale are free-range, pastured eggs and fresh garden produce grown on our farm.

Shaladawn Farm provides
veal and freezer beef by the whole or half carcass
in the late spring and late fall. The calves are raised "as
close to nature's way as possible at this time, and we continue
to pursue new ways to improve the naturalness of our operation."
The calves are fed almost entirely on mother's milk
and grass/hay prior to finishing, and then grass-finished in the spring
and fall. A kelp/salt supplement is available throughout the growth process.
Feed antibiotics and hormones are not used at any time. The pastures
are not treated with chemical fertilizers. The cows, together with high-density
strip grazing, "are our primary tool for pasture development, maintenance,
and improvement."

Tink's Grass-fed Beef offers beef processed
at its peak, aged for full flavor, quick frozen and vacuumed
packaged for your convenience and satisfaction. Our products
are offered by the cut, by the pound.
In order to insure healthy cattle, we are practicing
rotational grazing and implementing management intensive grazing techniques.
Offering a stress-free, humane environment is priority. Our Black Angus
cattle are fed and finished on high quality pasture. No pesticides, hormones,
antibiotics or grain are used in the production of Tink's Grass-fed Beef.
Grass fed meat is higher in Omega 3 fatty acids, CLA's, vitamin E, Beta
Carotene and nutrient content, making it healthier than the alternative.
Grass fed is the right thing to do for the Earth, for the animal, and
most of all for you, the customer.
Tink's Grass-fed Beef is available at The Washington
Farmer's Market. 111 North Allison St., Washington, GA 30673. Or contact

Wagon Wheel Ranch is a 200-acre family farm
operating 14 miles south of Athens for 40 years. We raise
antibiotic- and hormone-free, all natural, grass fed, grass finished, free range, Black Angus cross bred beef.
We love our cows and treat them
humanely with respect and kindness.
We cross purebred Santa Gertrudis cows (good mothers) with a purebred
Hereford bull (gentle disposition & high yield carcass); their daughters
(healthy, gentle, good mothers) are bred to a purebred Black Angus bull
(tender quality meat cuts). The resulting calves are the ones we sell
to you! This cross breeding system makes the cows and calves healthier
and disease resistant. Our Black Angus bull was DNA tested for tenderness,
ribeye size and 10 other genetic traits.
Our beef is sold to you live
on the hoof for $2.00-3.50/pound, depending on the current market. We deliver
the animal to a processor where it is processed and aged at your cost
to your specifications, then vacuum packed and flash frozen. This is
the least expensive way to purchase beef ! We now also sell individual retail cuts that are vacuum packed and frozen.
A whole carcass will fit in a
14 cubic foot chest freezer, and 1/2 carcass in a 7 cubic foot freezer.
A live weight beef yields about 50% hanging weight, which typically
consists of 31% steaks, 31% roasts, 36% ground beef and 2% miscellaneous
cuts. Live weights average 800-1000 pounds and 2-4 friends can group
together to divide a whole carcass in halves or quarters.
To insure
product quality,
only calves born, raised and finished on our farm are
offered for sale. Customers must make an appointment in advance if they
desire to pick out their own calf at the farm. We use a sustainable pasture
rotation system with natural shade and fresh water available at all times. High quality
free choice hay or grass silage is fed during winter or drought
conditions.
Wagon Wheel Ranch has been audited and inspected and is now certified by the American Grassfed Association as well as Animal Welfare Approved for humane production and harvesting of our beef cattle, including the processing plant we use.

Whippoorwill Farm provides lean,
nutritious beef from cattle that graze only on pasture
and hay at our small family farm in northeast Georgia. Our
cattle are mostly Angus and Jersey cross-breeds. We do not
feed them any animal by-products, waste foodstuffs (candy
bars, pastries, etc.), antibiotics, hormones, steroids or
grains. We also offer brown eggs from our free-ranging
hens.
We focus on low-stress and humane treatment of all
our animals and employ management intensive grazing to grow healthy animals
and to promote biologically diverse ecosystems.
Our beef is processed at an inspected facility and
is dry-aged a minimum of 14 days. It is available in whole, half or quarter
(split half) portions but smaller amounts are sometimes available. Shipping
is not yet currently available. However, since our herd is small we only
have a limited supply of beef to offer at any give time. Place your order
at any time and we will keep it on file until the next beef is available.

White Oak Pastures has been run
by the Harris Family since 1866. We have been raising cattle
on this Georgia farm for 5 generations. Respect for our Cattle
and for our Land are not new concepts for us.
We are proud of the way that we raise our cattle.
We believe that our production system produces beef that is Healthier,
Safer, Tastes Better, and is simply the Right Thing to Do. Please visit
our website to learn more about it. I also enjoy discussing the way that
we produce our product. Feel free to call to discuss our program.
The only product that we produce is a Premium Grassfed
Ground Beef. All of the high value steak cuts are included in this ground
beef. Nothing is robbed off. This gives it a quality that is unique.
