PSA: If you are on the roads, please give everyone grace & give yourself extra time.

If you need tree service, contact True Cut Saw Works, LLC. These guys are the best you'll find. If you get a VM, they will call you back as they will be busy with emergency calls.

There are many power outages; contact Big Frog Electric South if you need electric service. These guys are the best at what they do. Again, if you get a VM, they will call you back.

This is NOT a paid advertisement. We have personally used both companies on several accounts and continue to have working relationships. You can see more of their work on our page.

If you need water, our well is working; please contact us first before coming by as we have several inches of snow on the dirt Rd.

Morning Snow

Boy do we have snow!

22/01/2025

The farm has its first snow day!

21/01/2025

Thank you once again to our friends at Big Frog Electric South. We had an idea to run power to all the kennels, however we didn't plan to have it done till March/April. We had drawn up plans and summited them to BFES. In the meantime we had purchased another building and needed it wired and another outdoor subpanel installed as well. While they were here James asked if we wanted the kennels done as well. We agreed and they did that job as well.

Now the point I wanted to make is, that James improved our plan, yes it costed us a little bit more than our plans however his plans have worked out for us much more then our original plans would have.

Not every trade worker is out to get every dime from you. We went from single outlet idea (1plug kennel) to whole outlets to kennels. He was helping us look ahead instead of what we had at the moment. (Thank you!)

We are also thankful we didn't wait. We normally don't have snow but everyone has shelters with heat.

Thank you BFES!

PSA: Bird flu confirmed in GA.

Because we are a licensed dealer and sales facility with the state of GA

All poultry sales, exhibitions, shows, swaps, and meets have been suspended after the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed a commercial poultry operation had a case of bird flu.

Currently, we can not have visitors other than volunteers and inspectors on the farm.

At this time, we can not take any poultry surrenders. (Other animals can be arranged)

We will keep everyone updated as information is given.

Have you ever wanted to see a pig smile? Try belly rubs!!

12/01/2025

On these warm, sunny afternoons after such cold nights, all the animals and kids prefer to play and relax in the sunshine. Big Mama, the 400lb pig, is loving belly rubs from our little Benjamin. Just look at that smile on her face!!

To the people in Shellman Bluff, here is our statement we posted in that group incase you didn't see it regarding the pig that is roaming the area.

Mr. Pig.

Hello everyone. We have Been contacted by several of you to help with the pig issue. We have even talked to the other gentleman about the pig and leading a hand. We HAVE the means to transport the pig to another farm. We have tranquilizer darts both pistol and rifle for long range.

Here is our issue. Under GA law 40-13-13-.01 (30)
Rescue groups are not authorized to impound animals unless they are contracted by a government agency in Georgia to provide Animal Control Services.

We have great working relationship with AC. In counties with out AC the Sheriff's offices is the one who gives us permission. WE MUST HAVE IT IN WRITING ON A LETTERHEAD. (I'll include one in this post)

Your County AC will not give us permission to capture the pig because they said that they don't do pigs. We contacted the SO multiple times and they will not give us permission as they say it's AC's call.

The ONLY legal way for us to get involved at this point is for someone to feed and water the pig for 7 days (stray hold) while trying to find the owner. (Post on FB) On the 8th day the pig legally becomes yours and you can surrender it to us and allow us to dart it and capture it.

I'm sorry we can not be more helpful however we can NOT risk our licenses on one animal when we have hundreds on the farm that needs us as well.

Also under GA law pot belly pigs are considered domestic animals.

https://agr.georgia.gov/authorizing-persons-obtain-animals-behalf-licensed-animal-sheltersrescues #:~:text=Rescue%20groups%20are%20not%20authorized,to%20provide%20Animal%20Control%20Services.

“Rescue Group” means any association or corporation operated as a non-profit organization and for the purpose of providing care and shelter to animals.
Except rescue groups for equine, a rescue group that takes possession of animals and provides care and shelter must be licensed as an animal shelter or under written contract with a licensed animal shelter, in which case it will be considered an agent for the animal shelter and not an animal shelter itself. An equine rescue group operating for that purpose and maintaining any facility (including, without limitation, providing temporary care at a person’s private property) must meet all the requirements of a licensed stable. Rescue groups are not authorized to impound animals unless they are contracted by a government agency in Georgia to provide Animal Control Services.
