Speaker Bio
Mary Hart Rigdon has been on the historic 40 acres of farmland on Almach Avenue since October 1995. She lives with her family in the original farmhouse that dates from the 1930’s. The name she gave it, Decimal Place, originated when she started her farm on 0.1 acres in her former beloved neighborhood of Grant Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The land contains rotationally grazed pastures, piney wood, and scrubby brush, which all sustain a herd of American Saanen goats year-round. She chose to work with Saanens when she fell in love with their sweet temperaments, as well as their superior milking qualities. She takes great pride in having acreage to rotationally graze, as well as milking her herd twice a day every day.
