Find Us at Freedom Farmers Market on Saturdays
Attending the Freedom Farmers Market at the Jimmy Carter Library in Atlanta has become home base for us and is how we connect with our lovely supportive customers each week! Every Saturday morning, rain or shine, snow or sweltering heat, we set up from 8:30am until noon. We bring our pantry with us to share with you. If you want food without artificial fillers or preservatives and grown locally, we are your folks. We are passionate about growing nutrient dense tasty food and then taking the next step to preserving the goodness the natural way (using a combination of salt, vinegar, and or sugar; dehydration; freezing). We grow the majority of our ingredients or source from local farmers. Laura prepares everything in the kitchen on the farm so you can ask specifics or request ingredient changes for dietary needs if you desire. Besides canned products, we bring dried fruits and vegetables, in season fresh produce, fresh mayonnaise, fermented veggies and frozen or fresh berries.

A Family Favorite Berry Farm near Athens Georgia
Husband and wife team, Cameron and Laura, welcome you to visit their beautiful 23 acre berry farm nestled among pine trees and pasture, located about 35 min south of Athens and within 2 hours of Atlanta and Augusta. You can expect to find mulberries (May and June), and blueberries and blackberries (June and early July) when frost doesn’t wipe us out. We harvest our ripest and sweetest berries from 1000 blackberry plants, 2000 blueberry trees, and 17 mulberry trees and more are being planted in 2024.
Our you-pick availability changed in 2020 as we narrowed our pick your own window to focus on improved farm efficiency. We have some loyal folks who volunteer time in exchange for a place to calm the mind, touch the soil, and connect with the farm. Let us know if you would like to give a hand. Our home base farmers market is Saturdays at the Freedom Farmers Market (Jimmy Carter Library in Atlanta) from January through December (year round!).
