Just around the corner from Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center, the site of one of the first all-Black schools in Bulloch County, Georgia, lies 19 acres of land owned by a generational farmer, Roy Mosley.
He says he chose to follow in the agricultural footsteps of his late grandfather Robert “R.L.” Williams, who was a hog farmer and mechanic all his life.
“He and my grandma had a large flock of chickens, we actually sold brown eggs to our local grocery store at one time, and just a lot of customers coming straight to the farm,” said Mosley, who runs Roy Mosley Farms in the small town of Portal, which is about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.
