This area naturally creates picturesque settings for a farm. Located just 25 minutes outside of the charming southern town of Thomasville, Georgia and adjacent to the 6,581+/- Acre Okapilco Plantation; the sounds of the wild quail covey calls each morning create a setting reminiscent of this area of South Georgia. Rolling hills, mature pines and massive mossy live oaks create the perfect homesite on top of Grateful Hill. Current homeowners have existing house plans for a gorgeous farm house style home to be built underneath the old live oaks overlooking the farm.
Mature Georgia pines create the perfect natural goat habitat allowing goats to forage naturally thus resulting in the creamiest favor packed goat cheese. Literally some of the best Chèvre around with flavors enhanced by local satsumas for those who enjoy a little pop of sweetness on their charcuterie boards to the Farm Girl brand named after the owner’s daughter which has hints of garlic & herbs; all the flavors to pair perfectly with your favorite wines. The Cotton Cloud, which is just creamy Grateful Hill Chevre with nothing added is so good you don't even need crackers!
The milking parlor has (6) milking stations with milk lines directly connected to temperature controlled storage vats in the kitchen area. Grateful Hill Farm is FDA approved to create and sell some of the healthiest, flavorful Chevre in North Florida and South Georgia.

Nick and Allison Murray, the current owners who live just down the road in a 1902 restored farm house, are committed to helping new owners have a smooth transition and learning curve. They created Grateful Hill Farm and creamery with a vision to allow their family to spend quality time together while teaching their kids about nature, goat husbandry and old world cheese making. It is currently run as a boutique style family owned business delivering cheese weekly to multiple accounts across North Florida and South Georgia. For a new owner desiring to increase revenue; there is significant room to grow with proper staffing. The current owners raised their 2 children on this farm loving these precious animals and would love to pass on the legacy and enriching experience to another family that desires this type of farm to table lifestyle.
The barn area is set up to give the goats a protected area to birth and escape inclement weather but allows them to roam freely and graze the pastures under the pines.
Trained in the Old World Style of Cheese making in Vermont; owner Nick Murray makes the most incredibly delicious and flavorful Chèvre. View their business website Grateful Hill Farm as well as the website video below to catch a glimpse of the Chevre making process using a 300 year old method.
Why are they selling ... one might ask? Kids grow up and turn into young adults and life changes … the main reason for this transition is these owners now find themselves in a different season of life that is much too busy with travel sports and keeping up with their teen's schedules. The Murray's live just 10 minutes down the road and will not be going anywhere and would love the opportunity to mentor and teach new owners their craft to help carry on and preserve their family legacy.
Overall, the Grateful Hill Family Goat Farm and Boutique Creamery offers a unique opportunity for those interested in a farm-to-table lifestyle, with the potential for business growth and a supportive transition from the current owners.
