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.
Eggs
Let me know if you would like to be placed on a
regular egg rotation. Once egg production slows to
normal, only folks on the rotation calendar get eggs
regularly.

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 |
