Southern Pine Farm began with a simple wish: fresh eggs from our own chickens.
Annemiek imagined a handful of hens. Jeff built a mobile coop with room for hundreds. As people started coming to the farm for eggs, they noticed our garden and asked if they could buy vegetables, too.
Those conversations helped us see an opportunity to grow more food for our community. In 2020, Southern Pine Farm began its journey from a small egg operation to a farm serving our neighbors around Lake Oconee.

Raised in Greenville, Ohio, Annemiek moved to Greensboro in 2017. Her love of country life and cooking with fresh ingredients inspired her to grow food for her family and community.
A native of Woodstock, Georgia, Jeff moved to Greensboro in 2009. He has always enjoyed the outdoors and growing things. When he’s not working as a firefighter and medic, you can often find him on the farm or hiking in the Smokies.
Together, we’re building a farm that reflects what matters to us: good food, healthy land, and lasting relationships with our neighbors.
Our Great Pyrenees, Lacie, helps keep the farm animals safe. When she’s off duty, her favorite activities include lounging, wrestling, hiding shoes under the porch, and burying treats.
Southern Pine Farm is operated by first generation farmers in charming Greensboro, Georgia. Since 2020 we have grown from a pasture raised chicken egg operation to offering the Lake Oconee community seasonal, naturally grown, nutrient-dense produce.
Our farm practices Permaculture farming, an approach to an agricultural design that focuses on a back-to-the-land farming. A concept best explained as one that uses and simulates patterns from Mother Nature allowing ecosystems to regenerate on their own which in turn promotes sustainable farming. We strive for growing practices that continuously improve the conditions of our soil and land.
