My name is James Coto, and I am a Bulloch county native. I graduated from Southeast Bulloch High School and later attended Georgia Southern University majoring in exercise science. I transferred to Ogeechee Technical College, and received my Emergency Medical Technician license before finally going to Southeastern Technical College and graduating with an Associate’s degree in Registered Nursing (RN).

I grew up with animals raised for my family's freezer and in doing so, I developed a love for raising and handling livestock. This, coupled with my background in healthcare and nutrition, is what sparked an interest in raising my own livestock for my own growing family.

In a world fueled by always wanting more, we have found our society suffering from obesity, increased chronic illness, and increased mental health issues. I felt there was a common underlying issue: diet. Much of these chronic illnesses can be corrected simply by changing what we put into our body. Knowing what I do about healthcare and nutrition, I knew I couldn’t succumb to the evolving door of birth to death resulting from less than ideal nutrition. I have my own family now, and I refuse to raise them on primarily processed foods. I didn’t want to stop at my own family though. With my faith and healthcare background, I knew in my soul that I was created to serve. That’s why, with the help of my wife, we are here to take our blessings and share the good news through Born & Grazed Farming Co.
