| Southern Grace Farms is owned by
the McMillan Family, which are seventh generation farmers. We are
located in the western portion of Berrien County, Georgia. We have
been traditional row crop farmers since our Scottish Ancestors came to
America in 1774. We continue to grow traditional south Georgia crops
such as corn, cotton, wheat, peanuts and rye.
In 1999, we added a small u-pick
strawberry patch and blackberry patch. This was well received in
our area. In 2000, we added another strawberry field in neighboring
Lowndes County to the south of us.
In 2001, we opened a country store.
The Berry Barn (right on Hwy 82 in Enigma), as another outlet for selling
our fresh fruit and our jellies, jams, and ciders.
In 2003, we started selling our products online, through our website country
store. We also opened our U-Pick Peaches and Nectarines part of the Enigma
field. In 2004 we closed the Berry Barn on Hwy 82, but continued selling our
products online. The back-to-back hurricanes of 2004 damaged our young
Peach and Nectarine trees and they had to be pulled up.
In 2005, we opened a seasonal store at our Valdosta strawberry field and
added 2 more online stores at eBay and Local Harvest. |
