Our Story

Our Story: Two Farms, Made One
K&T Farms is a true labor of love—born from the literal marriage of two passionate, dedicated farmers. In 2022, Kevin, who founded K&T Farms to provide clean food and youth agricultural education, met Melinda, a veterinarian and fiber farmer. They quickly fell in love, combined their dream for a regenerative farm, and in 2023, purchased a beautiful property to raise their family on. Located in Rydal, Georgia, at the foothills of the North Georgia mountains, our 60-acre family homestead is where our combined vision comes to life.

Why It Matters: Healthy Soil, Healthy Food
We believe that truly nourishing food can only come from thriving, vibrant earth. That is why our primary goal is building healthy soil for healthy food. We reject modern, industrial farming methods in favor of regenerative agricultural practices that restore the land. By balancing active farming with careful environmental stewardship, our rotational grazing improves soil biology, manages invasive weeds, and allows native Georgia plants and wildlife to flourish. When you eat from our farm, you are eating from an ecosystem that is actively healing.

Pure Meats, Raised Right
For families who care deeply about clean nutrition, we raise premium beef, forest-raised pork, and pasture-raised chicken completely free from antibiotics and added hormones. Our animals live the way nature intended—with constant access to fresh air, sunshine, and wild forage. As the saying goes, you are what you eat- and we believe that applies to the animals that nourish us. Some may call it excessive, but we take pride in knowing everything we feed is as clean as possible. By completely eliminating corn, soy, and GMOs from our animals diet and all herbicides and synthetic fertilizers from our pastures and hay, we are able to provide your family with incredibly nutrient-dense meat that is clean, pure, and rich in natural flavor.
