Natural, Local, and Heritage Grass Fed Beef for the Athens, GA area
Welcome to Grove Creek Farm! We are a 300 acre sustainable farm in the Georgia Piedmont offering grass-fed beef from our herd of 35 heritage Pineywoods Cattle. We practice environmentally sound land management, which includes an active rotational grazing system that gives the land rest when it needs and the cattle the freshest, most nutritious forage. Our pastures grow a variety of cool season clovers and summer legumes, bermuda grass, bahaia grass, tall fescue, and a variety of native grasses. We also rely on the genetics of this ancient breed to keep themselves healthy. This means we do not have a vaccination schedule and do not administer antibiotics or hormones. We are proud to offer a unique and delicious grass raised and grass finished quality beef that is truly 100% Georgia.

Fencing begins...
Whew! We are finally ready to start our huge fencing project! Try 6,000 linear feet of fenceline, which includes 750 tpost, 180 wooden post, 30,000 ft of barbed wire, and lots of gates!
