We're more than just a farm...
We want to help animals in our community
Although we started as a small family farm, it's grown significantly since we first began. Our love for the farm and caring for our animals has naturally brought us opportunities to serve our community. People started reaching out to us to take in animals in need. Oftentimes, they were abused or neglected.
Our hearts were too big to turn them away. We take them in and rehabilitate them if they are sick or wounded. We make sure they receive the medicine and care they need to thrive once again. Sometimes, all they need is a safe, comfortable place to call home. We take great care to assess and address each animal's individual needs.
Based on this, we formulate a care plan and take action right away. Some of our residents are special needs animals and will need extra care for the remainder of their lives. It's our highest priority to ensure the comfort and well-being of all the animals entrusted to our care.
We rescue many different types of animals, and some of those animals make great pets. We love and take care of them while we find them a forever home and family.
In order to keep our animal family safe and happy here on the farm, we build special enclosures for them to live in. As our animal population grows, our need for adequate buildings, fences, and enclosures grows as well.
To build and maintain the necessary animal enclosures, we use premium materials and specialized equipment to get the job done. It's hard work, but it's also super rewarding to see the animals happy and thriving in their new home.
If you have or know of any animals that need immediate rescue, you can get in touch with us using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page or give us a call at:

Who We Are
Here is some insight into what we do at M&B Farm & Hatchery.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit farm & animal rescue.
For starters, we are an active farm; we raise cattle for both milk and meat. We raise goats for milk. We also have pigs, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks that we raise for meat. We are licensed with the DOA.
We are also a hatchery. Twice last year, we had surprising visits from news bloggers, and were rated top 3 (of 10) hatcheries in GA twice. We hatch out thousands of chicks of all different breeds. We were also among the few that had not raised our prices for poultry. We are a licensed dealer & sales establishment with DOA.
We are a licensed animal shelter. We can take in dogs and cats; however, our primary focus is working dogs. We work hard to identify what they already know and then train them on various aspects of farm life.
We are also a livestock rescue/sanctuary. What does this mean?
When someone contacts us to surrender an animal (livestock) we have them fill out a simple surrender form. On this, it will ask if the animal will be tagged for farm use or sanctuary.
Farm Use: The surrendered animal(s) will become part of our farm and could be bred, sold, slaughtered, or remain on the farm till natural death
Sanctuary*: The surrendered animal(s) will become a permanent resident of our farm. The animal(s) could still be bred. The animal(s) will not be sold or slaughtered and will remain on the farm till the animal’s natural death.
*Under special circumstances and as a last resort if the animal becomes a danger to humans, other animals, itself, or becomes uncontrollable, the animal will then be sold, slaughtered, or euthanized.
Now you may ask why we would feed and take care of all these "pets"? It's what our hearts want, it's what makes us happy. Everyone has an animal they love, whether it's goats, cows, or that special chicken.
We have some that are special needs and need a special diet or meds.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, maybe these pets also need a new home, another loving, caring home, and that's what we provide.
Every day, we treat all animals with the same respect and dignity they deserve, regardless of whether they are pets or raised for food.
We are also a member of the Livestock Conservancy. We have over 20 types of endangered species that we help hatch & raise to keep the population growing. We don't sell these breeds to the public; instead, we only sell/exchange them with other members to help keep the numbers growing.
If you would like to plan a visit, please let us know! Bring the kids, it's fun for everyone, and the animals love visitors.
Don't forget we also offer microchipping for dogs, cats, horses, and livestock.
