At Shaggy Bark Farm we pride ourselves with hard work and doing everything by hand! We wanted to work our land and find a way to use our homestead to offer a healthy product to our community, church family, neighbors, co-workers and friends.

Nick is the muscle and engineer that brings the ideas to life that Jessica has! Without his ambition, drive and ability to FIX anything we would not be where we are today! He makes everything come to life. He is an ARMY veteran and enjoys spending time with Jessica and making more of the land than anyone ever thought it could be.

The land was bought in 2017 with A LOT of clean up to tackle and the soil was depleted of all nutrition. As we walked the property we noticed many of the trees had a “shag bark” appearance to them. The tall White Oaks were abundant and stretched high to the sky to create a canopy over most of our property. The name Shaggy Bark stuck and it’s known to many now! We started with a basic garden first, making homemade soups, salsa, spaghetti sauces and more! Then we started thinking about retirement and what to do with our little piece of country heaven we decided to raise free range laying hens, make vanilla, hand poured soaps and can a lot of foods for our pantry.

We have over 200 chickens in our flock. With a few Guineas, a Guardian Goose, named Groot, two Katahdin Sheep, named Margo & Rita, along with two African Spurred Tortoises, named Crater Joe & Sulena. Joe is thirty one years old and Sulena is eleven years old. Crater Joe was hatched in Hawaii!

Our hens, along with many roosters to protect our ladies, free range our homestead, with a predator safe barn to sleep at night. We have several varieties of laying hens and offer a rainbow of colored eggs to our customers! Nothing beats a fresh egg’s taste, quality and nutrition. Once you have had one, you will want them again and again.

Our German Shepherd mix, Dax, guards the property and maintains a sharp eye for anything he sees invading his property that he does not recognize!

We sell free range Georgia Natural eggs at our roadside stand and make local deliveries. We have shipped eggs to California, Pennsylvania and Maryland. We can ship at a special request! We package them very carefully!

We invite to shop our simple products and add them to your home!

Thank you for supporting a small veteran business.

Happy Cooking!

Jessica & Nick
