Jimmy D Franks

Jimmy D Franks, doing business as Franks' Farm, is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since August 2011, operating as a for-profit organization in Georgia. The business is primarily engaged in agricultural production and value-added agricultural activities, with a focus on developing and expanding agricultural product processing and marketing capabilities. While specific details about the farm's full operational scope are not provided, the entity has demonstrated an active interest in agricultural innovation and market development through its federal grant involvement.

In November 2024, Franks' Farm received a $218,720.97 Value-Added Producer Grant from the USDA's Rural Business Cooperative Services, specifically targeting the development of value-added agricultural product activities. The grant supports planning initiatives such as feasibility studies, business plans, and marketing strategies, with a project period ending in September 2021. Additionally, the vendor has been involved in sub-grant awards through the University of Tennessee, which appear to be connected to dairy processing efficiency and product diversification efforts. These sub-grants, while not directly awarded to Franks' Farm, suggest the entity is part of a broader agricultural innovation ecosystem, with projects focused on enhancing dairy processing capabilities, developing new product lines like kefir and drinkable yogurt, and improving market flexibility for agricultural producers.
