The Old Mule

Old Mule Farms - Graves Station, Ga.

Historical Old Mule Farms


                         

     Located in the deep south of Georgia, Old mule farms honor the classic traditions of farm life forged by our forefather's generations ago.  Our passion is to preserve the past for the future. We teach history in our everyday life here on the farm using old farming practices such as plowing with a mule, blacksmithing, along with smoking and curing our own meats.  Featured is the 1850s homestead house, carriage shed, grist mill, 1860 blacksmith shop, wheelwright shop, smokehouse, syrup mill, antique sawmill, early powerhouse, 1890 barn and many other building that tell the story of early farm life in the south. Here is where time stands still with a slower pace to enjoy. Follow me The Old Mule as I share our rich old history handed down through many generations of my family right here on Old Mule Farms.

Old Memories and Homestead life

Life on Old Mule Farms

I was born on this land and here is where my thoughts have pondered for a lifetime. Nestled among old growth woods, silently hidden from time itself our farm is rich in history. Once predominantly row crops such as peanuts, corn, and cotton, now our fields carry us forward into time. Hay production is our strength as we continue our dream rooted in deep family pride. Our pastures are home to our four-legged friends where the braying of a donkey or two is always a morning wakeup call. Wolf Creek runs clear as it crosses by the farm slowly finding itself miles away in search of something new. Here is where the sun rises slowly giving way to the sights that make this place home day after day. Come along as I share my farm and how we have survived when all else is gone with the wind....................Dan
