Georgia - 6 Members, 11 free listings
6 members in Georgia. Every link on this page goes to the ranch's own store, never to a checkout of ours.
Select a marker to read the ranch, then follow the link to its own store. Neighboring states are on the map too.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, or select a state. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and the plus and minus keys zoom. Every state outline and every ranch marker is reachable by keyboard, and every ranch on the map is also in the list below, so no producer is reachable only through the map. A member's marker is that ranch's membership badge, drawn larger at the higher levels. A free Registered Producer is a black dot on its own state, and an unclaimed Unregistered Producer record is a gray dot, which opens an invitation to the owner to claim the profile rather than a page.
Every Georgia producer on the map. A member and a Registered Producer each have a page of their own; an unclaimed record is a gray dot waiting to be claimed.
Each one verified as an American family operation before it was listed. Every link goes to the ranch's own store.
Hampton, Georgia · Registered American Beef Producer
Wayne, Charmaine and Jekhi Swanson run a 32 acre farm south of Atlanta raising Georgia Pineywoods cattle, hair sheep and heritage hogs on pasture and in the woods, with no commercial feed, steroids or hormones.
Sells at the farm, online, at local farmers markets, through private chefs and at partner restaurants. Shipping reach is not stated.
Barnesville, Georgia · Registered American Beef Producer
Ivan Minks raises cattle on rotated Georgia pasture, finished on native grasses and legumes with a free choice supplement, then dry aged into a craft product. The ranch also runs a store carrying local pork, chicken, eggs and seafood.
Sold at the ranch store in Barnesville, open Thursday through Saturday, and online. Shipping reach is not stated.
Listed with their own published details. A profile page is written from the ranch's own material, so these carry a listing until that material arrives.
These listings came from American Beef Direct's own producer research. Each ranch's name, town, website and phone number are its own published details, checked against its own site. A ranch with a listing has not yet supplied its story or its photography, so it has no profile page here yet. If this is your ranch, tell us and we will build the profile from your own material, or take the listing down.
11 more Georgia operations are in the system at the free level. An Unregistered Producer record is a name, a town and a state, and nobody at the ranch has claimed it yet. It carries a gray marker on the map, but no badge, no contact details and no page, and it is not a verification of the operation. If one of these is your ranch, claim it and it becomes a free Registered Producer.
Unregistered Producer records were compiled from public producer directories: the ranch name, its town and its state, and nothing else. No contact details are published, and a record that nobody has claimed has no page of its own. It is a record that the operation exists and sells beef, not a verification of it, and it carries no badge: on the map it is a gray dot. If this is your ranch, you can claim it free and become a Registered Producer, take a membership, or ask us to remove it.
Both Georgia producers sit within an hour of Atlanta on the red clay south of the city, and both of them sell the way small southeastern farms have always sold: close to home, in person where they can.
Swanson Family Farm is 32 acres at Hampton, established in 2008, run by Wayne, Charmaine and Jekhi Swanson. The herd is Georgia Pineywoods cattle, a heritage southern breed, kept alongside hair sheep and heritage hogs and goats on pasture and in the woods with no commercial feed. Beef is 100 percent grass finished and sold by the cut or as an eighth, quarter or half share, and there is lamb, goat, pork and chicken beside it.
Thousand Hills Cattle Ranch is at Barnesville, twenty five miles further south, where Ivan Minks rotates cattle through pasture and finishes them on native grasses and legumes with a free choice supplement of grains, vitamins and minerals so the animals balance the forage themselves. Animals for the table are harvested at about 30 months at a local family run abattoir and hung to age two weeks.
The practical difference for a Georgia buyer is how you collect. Thousand Hills runs a ranch store in Barnesville, open Thursday through Saturday, stocking its own beef alongside local chicken, pork, eggs and seafood. Swanson sells at the farm, online, at local farmers markets, through private chefs and at partner restaurants.
Written from what the listed ranches publish about their own operations. Availability, pricing and shipping are theirs and change without notice.
6 producers are listed in Georgia, and the registry is open to every other. Registering is free, we build your profile from your own material, and every link on it points at your own store.
