Georgia Agriculture Week is an annual celebration of the hardworking farmers, producers, and agribusinesses that drive the state’s agricultural industry. Among the many contributors to this vital sector, Springer Mountain Farms and the family farms that grow for them play an essential role in feeding America. Their commitment to quality, sustainability, and humane farming practices makes them a cornerstone of Georgia’s poultry industry and a key player in the national food supply chain.
Georgia: A Poultry Powerhouse
Georgia consistently ranks as the top state in the U.S. for poultry production, with chicken being the state’s leading agricultural commodity. Poultry farming generates billions of dollars in revenue each year, providing jobs, supporting rural communities, and ensuring that consumers across the country have access to high-quality, nutritious poultry products.
As a leader in poultry farming, Georgia contributes significantly to the U.S. food supply chain. The state’s farms produce millions of pounds of chicken annually, helping to meet the growing demand for lean, protein-rich foods both domestically and internationally. This thriving industry relies on dedicated farmers who prioritize animal welfare, food safety, and environmental stewardship - all pillars of the Springer Mountain Farms way of doing business.

The Role of Family Farms in Feeding America
The success of Georgia’s poultry industry is deeply rooted in its family farms. These farms are the backbone of poultry production, providing expertise passed down through generations. Their efforts ensure that fresh, wholesome chicken reaches dinner tables across the nation.
