ABOUT US
We are the Deming family! We currently have two beautiful daughters, Emma (8) & Isla (4). My wife Jessica is an amazingly strong and passionate woman. She is an elementary school in Oconee County. My name is Casey and I am a serial entrepreneur and started our first business in 2015. I currently own and operate three small businesses, Georgia Bushcraft LLC (Outpost Oconee) Griffin Pocket Pocket Tool® & Bushcraft Coffee LLC.
We moved to Watkinsville in 2017 but our family's roots have been planted in this county since the mid 1800's. We now live on the south side of Oconee where my wife and I built our first home. We raise chickens, grow vegetables and keep bees on our small farm.
