About Us
Mission: 

Three Magnolias is a new non-profit based at Many Fold Farm that aims to provide a place for education, inspiration and incubation of farmers and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of agriculture, food and art. Three Magnolias was founded with the goal of creating an anchor farm that supports farm training and incubation in collaboration with the Rodale Institute's Southeastern Organic Center all based at Many Fold Farm.

Programs: 

In addition to a farm training program, Three Magnolias will develop programs to educate and support the community in addressing challenges in the Chatt Hills region related to local food systems, regenerative agriculture, farmland preservation and activation, conservation development, workforce housing and youth education in agriculture and entrepreneurship.

Why Work For Us?: 

Many Fold Farm is a family owned operation managed by a husband and wife team and their families. The 350 acre farm is located in the beautiful Chattahoochee Hill Country, about 35-minutes west-southwest of Atlanta, GA. We are proud to be a part of a burgeoning agricultural economy within a community that seeks to preserve our rural heritage and act as a model for growth that is an antidote to urban sprawl.

On our farm you'll find a small cadre of farmers, family members, interns, volunteers, and employees all attending to the daily needs of our flock of sheep and chickens, happily living on pasture as nature intended. We raise our animals on a grass based system and consider ourselves "grass farmers" who practice management-intensive grazing to ensure healthy pastures and healthy animals. 

Many Fold Farm entered a partnership in early 2019 with The Rodale Institute—an organization that has been at the forefront of Regenerative Agriculture for the past 70 years—in order to open a Regional Resource Center for the Southeast on our farm. This Resource Center has been acting as a learning hub to provide scientific research, economic models, and educational outreach for farmers throughout the Southeast who want to start, transition, or improve their farms using organic and regenerative agricultural practices.

Many Fold Farm and the Rodale Institute share a belief that healthy soil is the key to human health and our ability to survive on our planet. Strong scientific and economic models that allow regenerative organic farmers to compete with conventional agriculture are necessary to shift the paradigm of how we grow our food. Scientific research and high-quality farmer education conducted by both Three Magnolia’s and Rodale’s Southeastern Regional Resource Center will validate and expand truly sustainable agricultural practices in order to save our food system, our planet, and ourselves.
