Stokes Family Farm provides the local community with locally grown, naturally raised foods. For some of our customers, it's a matter of health.  For others, it's about caring for the environment or the well-being of the animals they eventually eat. For everyone, it's an opportunity  to grow as an individual and become part of a community. 

Our primary products are grass-fed and finished beef and pastured pork. Our pasture land is very limited and soon much of it will become part of a new road, so more and more we depend on a neighbor across the county line in Walton County to provide our beef. Suburban sprawl has not hit him as badly as it has us here in Gwinnett County. I envy his 400+ acres of rolling hills with grass up to his knees. The cattle are Angus-based and live in their family groups until the day they go to slaughter.  

Production here at the Gwinnett farm is shifting progressively to heritage pork and vegetables. Our hogs live in pastures and wood lots of one to three acres. In the summer, they graze the green grasses and in the winter they fatten on acorns and hickory nuts. Our pigs enjoy life as they are meant to, and the pork is naturally delicious with more flavor and texture than factory farm pork.  

We garden in about 40 raised beds that have been double-dug and enriched with manure from our livestock. Production is limited, but we often have produce when others have lost theirs to flooding or other bad weather. In the winter, we cover many of the beds with solar pods, so we can grow fresh veggies despite the cold.

We look forward to seeing you there.
