Located on the property of the Scoggins’ Family Farm in Gore, Ga 10 miles north of Berry College, Mountain Mama Farms is close to 200 hundred years old. The Scoggins family farm is partly stewarded by the fifth-generation granddaughter of the Scoggins family.

The Farm is home to Jeremy and Stacie (Scoggins) Marshall and their three daughters, along with Stacie’s father and brother. Currently, the farm is home to three generations of the Scoggins living and farming the property. Working together as a family and community they are learning how to preserve our Appalachian Heritage Farmland that has been a sacred place for so many who have gone before them and called it home.
