This farm has been in operation through five generations—well over one hundred years. Although farming and agriculture have changed, Double K Farms supports the preservation of agriculture resources for future generations.
Back in 1884 our great great grandfather, Henry James Boggus located here with 180 acres. Henry James Boggus served in the War Between the States. His son Thomas Grover
Boggus lived on this farm and followed a plan of making his farm self- sustaining. The farm was well adapted to the production of food and feed crops, as well as cotton.
During the 1920’s great grandfather Boggus had pure Barbed Rock chickens, a small herd of hogs and Jersey cattle. He sold enough butter, eggs, sausage, cowpeas, corn and other products to pay for all supplies needed for running the farm.
Now the farm is owned and operated by Tommy Mitcham (The great grandson of Henry James) and his two sons Kevin and Keith. The farm specializes in hay and beef production.
In October Double K Farms was recognized as a Centennial Family Farm by the State of Georgia for its contribution to Georgia’s agriculture heritage. Myron Boggus Mitcham (Kevin and Keith’s grandmother) is 94 and still lives here.
We have had corn mazes since 2002.
