Early in the morning on December 9, a tornado paid a visit to the farm. Yes, that would be the proverbial freight train sound that woke us up in the middle of the night. All people, animals, and houses were spared, but the winds demolished four barns and twisted our grain elevator, a crucial piece of our infrastructure, off of its foundation.

We're rapidly rebuilding.

Many have offered to help, and we appreciate your concern. We'll be holding a workparty to clean up debris over the December 19 weekend. If you'd like to hear more about that, you can email us at info@grassfedcow.com. You can also make contributions to help our and other farms' rebuilding efforts through Slow Food Atlanta, who has transformed their flood fund into the Small Farm Disaster Fund. Contributions can be made online, and by mail to:

GA Small Farms Disaster Relief Fund
PO Box 2641
Smyrna, GA 30081

We're blessed to have such friends and supporters in the community. Thank you for all of your support, from the entire Swancy Family!
