Company Description
Thicketty Mountain Farms is a new farm owned by Sallie Hambright-Belue and Brent Belue.
The farm got its name because Thicketty Mountain is what they each looked at from their front porches – Brent’s porch in Cowpens, SC and Sallie’s porch in Gaffney, SC – that is until they got married last August. They now , both, look at Thicketty Mountain from Cowpens, SC
Sallie and Brent are both from farming families. Sallie’s grandfather, Charles Copeland, operated Old Post Road Farm in Gaffney which was SC Farm Family of the year in the 1970′s. Her other grandfather, Joe Hambright, and dad, Mike Hambright, ran a small farm in the Antioch community just outside Blacksburg. Brent’s family is also grounded in agriculture. His family ran Cash farms in Cowpens, and Brent worked in the peach shed for thirteen years. His father, Mike Belue, was also a farmer for several years in Cowpens. Sallie and Brent are trying to carry on the agriculture tradition that is deep rooted in their family history.
The goal is to make Thicketty Mountain Grange a profitable business and main source of food for their family. Currently, the farm consists of 4 Black Angus beef cows, 4 LaMancha dairy goats, 4 Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats, about 40 laying hens, about 100 pastured chickens, a Great Pyrenees guardian dog, and 2.5 acres of organic vegetables.
