Growing.Giving. Teaching.
What's happening now...
The last few days have really taken a toll on us. We've been planting, harvesting, shearing sheep, and moving animals - all in the summer heat. The cool thing is we were able to donated over 2,000 lbs of food last week (which puts our total over 8,500 lbs for the year!) and had two more lambs born. Is it too early to look forward to fall?
Our Story
We created 180° Farm as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in beautiful Coweta County, Georgia. We believe this is a way to minister to the needs of the community spiritually, through education and providing "clean, natural" food.
My wife and I purchased property in Sharpsburg, Georgia four years ago. We had envisioned building a house and starting a small farm. Soon after the purchase my son Mason was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a childhood form of cancer.
As Mason’s cancer became non-progressive, we realized we needed to do more than just grow good food for ourselves. We wanted to produce for the local community, healthy, organic, “clean foods” that did not contain pesticides, herbicides, hormones or antibiotics.
We felt led to do something more than just grow food, but to give a helping hand up to those in need. We believe in giving fresh grown food to the local food ministry, but more importantly, teaching through our workshops how to grow food, on any plot of land. Times are tough and getting back to the basics is not an option anymore, it's a necessity.

A Hand Up! As 180 Degree Farm has grown, God is bringing us men, women and children who are sick and in need of healthy chemical free foods as well as the impoverished. We take this direction very serious and strive to grow the most nutrient dense foods on earth. We donate a portion of our harvest to ministries that serve the Coweta/Fayette area as well as to those who are sick and financially unable to buy healthy, organically grown foods to help their bodies heal. In 2012, 180 donated over 13,000lbs of healthy, organic food to places like: Bridging the Gap in Newnan, The Sow Good Center in Senoia, and Trinity Fellowship's food pantry in Sharpsburg. In fact, Trinity Fellowships' outreach program, in partnership with 180, has given out over 7,500 lbs of food this year since starting in September. Thanks to important partners like UNFI, we are able to donate a multitude of various foods to those in need, all organic or naturally grown.
Our CSA members give back too! When a CSA customer can't pick up their share for the week, they graciously donate it to someone who really needs it.
Our workshops are designed to teach participants how to grow food, from limited space to large areas, with maximum food production in mind. We also teach classes about food awareness and nutrition, helping participants understand why feeding the body good food is so important.

Growing a Healthy Community
Part of our mission is to provide our local community with healthy, fresh grown vegetables, eggs and meats that you can feed your family with the utmost confidence.
If you visit 180, you will notice the rich, black soil that our vegetables grow in. Like humans, plants need a full spectrum of minerals and good nutrition to stay healthy and fight off disease. These rich soils, which are high in compost, also make our veggies taste better, because the natural sugar content (brix level) is higher. Happy plants, healthy people!
Natural, “beyond organic” grown foods are approximately 25% more nutritionally dense compared to conventionally grown foods. Plus, our food doesn’t carry the additional “baggage” of conventionally grown foods. I guess the old saying, “You get what you pay for” really is true!
