What started with a pop-up table in the front yard at six in the morning has grown into one of Lamar County's most beloved farm stands. Reporting from Barnesville, John Holcomb sits down with Allie Andrews to hear the story behind Mae's on the Corner at Rainbow Farms — and the family, faith, and hard work that made it happen.
Allie and her husband run a full family farming operation with hay, poultry, and beef cattle. But when a personal health journey introduced her to sourdough baking, friends and family quickly encouraged her to share it with the world. In February of last year, she set up a simple table in the front yard — and sold out within an hour. Month by month, the table came back, the crowds grew, and Mae's on the Corner was born.
Today the stand features fresh produce from a two-acre vegetable garden — tomatoes, black sweet corn, squash, zucchini, green beans, and butter beans — alongside a full lineup of homemade sourdough breads, sourdough cookies, cinnamon rolls, herb mixes, and blueberry muffins. It's a true family affair, with Allie's three kids working right alongside her, learning firsthand that discipline, hard work, and the reward of the harvest all go hand in hand.
Now a member of the Georgia Farm Bureau Certified Farm Market program, Mae's on the Corner is drawing visitors from Athens, Milledgeville, North Georgia, South Georgia, and beyond — all looking to support local and taste the difference that real farm-fresh food makes.
