Giving. Growing. Teaching.
What's happening now...
We need a refrigerated box truck... Anyone work for a company that has refrigerated box trucks that are cycling out or fully capitalized? Your company could donate to 180 Farm and get a tax right off all while helping us get more food to those in need!
Ever tried a healthy, pasture raised and organically fed duck or chicken egg? We have them both from our beautiful birds that we raise on the farm! Check us out from 9:30-1:30, Monday-Saturday.

We need your help! Our building is here and now comes the hard part, raising money. We need a well, septic tank, a parking lot, ADA compliant bathrooms, decking/handicap ramp installed and many more things before we can access this building. Also, donating to 180 will help us continue growing more food that we use either as a fundraiser, or that we donate to impoverished families in the Coweta area. If you feel led to help, click here to donate now.
Our Story
We created 180° Farm as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 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.
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.
*We provide scholarships to our workshops for those that are in need financially with limited availability.

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!
