For the first time ever, you can wear a piece of Bulloch County. Located right outside of Statesboro, Brannen Family Farms has been farming for five generations in the same dirt. They are excited to bring our community the first ever shirt that with 100% certainty was grown at home in the Bulloch County dirt!
Chapman Trading Co. out of Sandersville, Georgia, uses Georgia Grown Cotton to make t-shirts for their Magnolia Loom brand. All their shirts are made from cotton grown and sewn in Georgia. Other stages of the process including spinning into yarn and dyeing happen in other nearby states, but the cotton never leaves the Southeastern United States before it arrives at your doorstep.
Brannen Family Farms is operated by three brothers, Ryne, Jamie, and Sean along with their father, Jackie. They grow cotton and peanuts alongside Jackie’s brother Wayne, who raises beef cattle and manages his chicken houses.
Chapman Trading Co. and Brannen Family Farms together are excited to debut their first ever collection of shirts made from cotton that can be traced to one farm.
There are 2 designs printed on four colors in this special Bulloch County collection:
- “Bulloch Dirt Grew this Shirt” features a rendering of the Brannens planting cotton
- “Good Things Grow in Bulloch County” celebrates the strength of farming and the agriculture industry in Bulloch County
Shirts will be for sale online only from Sept. 5-17. Shirts are printed to order and will be mailed to you in a few weeks.
These Georgia Cotton shirts also support Georgia Kate Anderson, as 20% of every shirt sold will go to Georgia Kate and her family to help them on her road to recovery from a four-wheeler accident. The Andersons are also cotton farmers in Bulloch County.
Order your shirts here now through Sept. 17.
