920 Cattle was founded on September 20th, 2014 when Jarrod and Becca Creasy were married! Both grew up in the agriculture community and have deep roots in the livestock industry. Becca is an economist by education and Jarrod studied soil and animal sciences – and together they balance the unique needs of managing a first-generation family farm that has been built from scratch. Aside from their daughter Finley, the farm raises Brangus and Hereford Cattle, Heritage cross-breed Pork, as well as Katahdins and Texel breed Lamb. -

Bootleg is a small family farm that produces and sells artisan goat cheese, chicken and duck eggs, as well as processed rabbits and chickens. Located just outside the small rural town of Springfield, GA on 50 acres of wooded land (or goat heaven) the goats have a consistent diet of all the natural foraging they can eat, perennial peanut hay, and a daily ration of grain. The “Girls” are very healthy which produces great-tasting milk and delicious cheese. Richard and his family make all efforts to keep everything as nature intends and have been rewarded with big, healthy, happy goats that produce beautiful, delicious milk. The “Girls” are treated very well (spoiled actually) and are very content and happy at Bootleg Farm.

Located in Savannah’s Avondale neighborhood, Vertu Farm is a true urban farm. We grow on about 2 acres (including 2 high tunnels), and produce all our food using sustainable, no-till methods. We grow all our produce in soil and full, natural sunlight, and make extensive use of soil amendments such as compost and other certified organic fertilizers made from natural byproducts such as manure, fish, and kelp. Soil health is our first priority at Vertu Farm to provide the healthiest, most vibrant produce to our loyal customers. In 2020, we also began distributing products from our fellow farmers to more customers, and now offer a wide range of truly local grocery items for preorder through our website, or at our popup farmers’ markets on our farm.

Brunswick, GA
Southern Brothers Farms was started in the summer of 2017 in Brunswick Georgia. Since then, we have turned multiple biologically sterile suburban yards found in a neighborhood into thriving farms, while also taking extra steps to create much-needed productive wildlife habitat. Our goal is to provide high-quality healthy produce to the regionally local community by using organic bio-intensive sustainable farming practices. The biggest focus of our farm operations has been our gourmet mushrooms that are grown on sawdust and agricultural wastes in a controlled indoor setting.

Richmond Hill, GA
This farm was founded on the premise that the earth’s natural resources are dwindling as days pass. With the ideal that our bodies are directly affected by what we put into them. And with the understanding that when we consume pesticide-free & chemical-free foods, our bodies reward us with good health. At Billy’s Botanicals we use the power of the sun, the purity of water, and the perfection of a controlled environment to produce a local, organic, & sustainably raised/harvested source for fresh fish, fruits, herbs, & vegetables. Billy also has a state licensed seafood facility he utilizes to process fresh fish and clams from the shores of Georgia.

Quitman, GA
Drew and Christian were living in a shoebox apartment in Queens when we discovered sustainable agriculture in the form of pastured meats. They wanted their food to be humanely raised and to nourish their bodies without taking from the land. After years of research, they moved South and raised their first laying flock in 2016 on their farm in South Georgia. They use humane and sustainable farming practices to ethically produce pasture-raised eggs, poultry, and forest-raised pork. The happy laying hens are completely free-range out on pasture, where they enjoy sunshine and fresh air while foraging for bugs and plants, which is key to the vibrant color and flavor of the eggs. While the meat birds live in mobile, outdoor hoop coops where they are moved every day onto fresh pasture. The fresh plant forage makes for a healthy, flavorful meat. Chicken that actually tastes like chicken!
