Who We Are

🌱 Rooted in Nature

Native Grounds is a small, regenerative market farm located in Barrow County, Georgia, built with a deep respect for the land and the community it serves. We began this journey to reconnect with the land and to grow food and plants in a way that restores soil health, supports biodiversity, and strengthens local food systems.

We believe sustainable farming should give back to the land as much as it gives to us. Through the use of native plants and eco-friendly, regenerative practices, we support pollinators, improve soil health, and grow fresh, natural food for our local community.

🌿 Our Approach

No-Till Soil Management – We avoid disturbing the soil to protect its structure, retain moisture, and nurture beneficial organisms.

Hand-Cultivated Beds – Most of our work is done by hand, reducing reliance on heavy machinery and keeping the soil healthy.

Native Plant Integration – We grow native plants to support pollinators, increase biodiversity, and restore local ecosystems.

Compost & Organic Fertility – We enrich the soil naturally with compost and organic amendments, building long-term fertility.

Seasonal Crop Rotation – Rotating crops helps prevent disease, improves soil health, and maximizes nutrient balance.

Pollinator & Habitat Support – Flowering plants and cover crops provide habitat for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

Sustainable Water Practices – We use water efficiently and prioritize healthy irrigation methods to protect our resources.

🌿 What We Offer

Naturally Grown Produce and Herbs – Carefully grown without pesticides or chemicals, our seasonal produce and herbs are as fresh, nutritious, and flavorful as nature intended.
Farm-Fresh Free-Range Eggs – Our hens roam freely across pasture and woodland, foraging and pecking naturally. This free-range lifestyle produces eggs that are wholesome, flavorful, and raised with care for both the birds and the environment.
Fresh-Cut Flowers – Our fresh-cut flowers are handpicked and arranged into beautiful bouquets and vases, perfect for any occasion.
Baked Goods – We bake everything from scratch using wholesome ingredients, bringing you delicious alternatives to ultra-processed baked goods.
Farmstand Seedlings – Any surplus seedlings are offered at the farmstand, giving you the chance to grow a little piece of our farm in your own garden.

👩‍🌾 Meet Your Farmers

Hey y’all! We’re Makenzie and Christian—the hands and hearts behind Native Grounds Farm.

We’ve always loved working with the land in one way or another. I (Makenzie) spent years gardening and landscaping before finding my way into farming, while Christian is a certified Arborist who enjoys caring for trees and serving our local community.

We met six years ago, fell in love, and eventually decided to take a chance on a different kind of life. We packed everything we owned into a fifth-wheel RV and spent two years on the road, exploring new places and experiencing life beyond our hometowns.

But after two years of traveling, we found ourselves missing home and longing for a place to call our own. We felt the pull to come back, slow down, and put down some roots. Now, we’re excited to build a life here, work with our hands, grow good things, and be part of the community we love.

In 2024, we purchased our first home and approximately five acres in Barrow County, Georgia. From day one, we began laying the groundwork for a regenerative market farm built with intention, patience, and care. Our dream is to build a lasting legacy from the ground up — one that benefits our family, our neighbors, and the community we call home.

At Native Grounds Farm, we care deeply about growing good food, caring for the land, and creating a place where biodiversity can thrive. We feel incredibly fortunate to have the land we do, and we want to be good stewards of it for years to come.

We like to keep things simple and do things the “old-fashioned way.” We limit our use of heavy machinery and rely mostly on our own two hands, hard work, and a lot of patience. From the first seed we sow to the things we build, cultivate, and harvest, we do it all ourselves. It’s certainly not always the easiest way, but it’s a way of farming that feels meaningful to us—and one we’re proud to share with our community.

We are proudly a no-till farm, committed to working with nature rather than against it, and to nurturing healthy soil for generations to come.
