Stokes' Family Farm
Welcome to Lawrenceville, GA, to one of the last working
family farms in Gwinnett County. We serve customers from as
far away as Atlanta and Athens, but really hope the folks
here in the Lawrenceville-Dacula area will shop with us
regularly. Contact us for our next availability and current
pricing.
New!
We're blogging! Anthony will add future recipes
to the new blog,
blog.StokesFamilyFarm.com!. Please visit and leave
your comments on our meat, ask questions, make suggestions.
We will respond to general questions online. You
should also visit our Recipes

vegetables.
What We Offer
- Grass-fed and -finished beef: hormone-free;
- Green & brown eggs from wild-foraging hens;
- Pastured pork;
- Naturally-grown vegetables.
How to Buy
If you would like updates on the meat and produce
available at the farm, sign up to get on our email list.

pork shares available.

All products from Stokes Family Farm can be picked up
by appointment at the farm Monday thru Friday or by
special appointment on Saturdays. Some products, such as
quarters of beef, will be picked up at the slaughterhouse.
In the past, we have required a $50 minimum purchase, but we
hate to be rigid. Some very good customers just need 2 dozen
eggs each week. Just keep in mind that we are a working farm
and have lots to do to produce delicious healthy food for
our community.
Why Buy?
There are many reasons to buy local food. It pays the
farmer a living wage. It can decrease your carbon footprint.
It preserves green space. But for me, it's how my
grandfather lived.
Grandpa grew up in the hills of northwest Georgia, and
knew produce had to be local and in-season to have the
"flavor of the stone." I think he was hitting on the French
concept of terroir, or "sense of place." The French,
like my grandfather, believe foods from particular places
and seasons have their own unique flavors.
Grandfather insisted that watermelons had to come from
Sand Mountain, that peaches had to come from Georgia, and
sweet potatoes had to come from your own back yard.
Otherwise, they weren't fit to eat. Grandpa would have loved
to buy food like we grow here at Stokes Family Farm. Anthony Stokes, 678-863-9612 |
