Cogdell Berry Farm is owned and operated by Joy and Johnny Crumbley and their son-in–law Russ Goodman. Their two daughters Carra and Juliana, both classroom teachers, help on the farm during the summer harvest season. This family operates the 500 acre berry farm using only the best management practices for agriculture ensuring the safest food product.

Located in extreme southeastern Georgia, Cogdell Berry Farm has been a family farm since 1915. Our close proximity to the Okefenokee Swamp insures the most desirable acidic soil which enables us to produce delicious berries that are unmatched in sweetness and flavor. We grow blueberries and blackberries for the commercial fresh berry market on our Global GAP Certified farm.

Our fresh-packed berries are distributed all over the Eastern United States and Canada as well as Japan and the United Kingdom.

During the berry harvest particular acres are selected to be handpicked at the optimal ripeness to make our delicious jellies and products. This all began over eight years ago when Joy, working in her home kitchen, began using some of the ripened fresh berries from the farm to make Joy’s Jellies to give away to family and friends. Over the years this sideline has grown to become a complete line of 13 different products from cider to BBQ sauce. Jams, syrups, and jellies complete the selection choices.
