Fort Creek Farm

At Fort Creek Farm, our Hereford calves are raised on fresh nutritious grass on our family farm, without supplemental feeding of grain, hormones or routine antibiotics. Grass finished beef is low in fat, calories, LDL cholesterol, and E. coli risk. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, beta-carotene, and vitamins A and E. Our small family farm is not a mass production commodity business. We produce a premium product with special qualities. Our goal is to protect and enhance our land as well as the historic resources of our farm while providing a healthy environment for our livestock, family, friends, and customers. Above all, we want to provide you a delicious healthful product that will offer a satisfying and memorable eating experience. Our Hereford cattle are raised in clean air and sunshine and fed on fresh pasture; there is no need for antibiotics to maintain their health or for hormones to spur weight gain. They are never kept in feed lot type conditions. We treat our cattle gently and lead them to fresh pasture every one or two days. This "rotational grazing" is natural and beneficial for the animals while it also stimulates and assists us in controlling insects. At Fort Creek Farm we manage the environment as carefully as we manage our cows. We are continuously improving our pastures in ways that enhance wildlife habitat, protect air quality, and improve the water quality of our streams. In recognition of the numerous conservation practices we employ, we have been honored with the Private Lands Stewardship Award for the state of Georgia, Cattle Producer of the Year and Soil Stewardship awards of our Cattlemen's Association and our county's Conservationist of the Year Award. Your Purchase of Fort Creek Beef and eggs helps us preserve the architecture of this 18th and 19th century farm. Fort Creek Farm is the most complete example of such a farm in Georgia and the only intact antebellum plantation of its size still in private hands. Your purchase of Fort Creek Beef helps us protect and preserve this precious resource.
