Growing up hunting with her dad prepared Katie Armour for her new adventure: owning a processing business.
Armour, 41, and her husband, Jon, who is 43, closed on Nature’s Harvest at the end of March. 
The couple decided to rename the business to Full Draw Processing.
“It’s just exciting altogether, just a new adventure,” Katie Armour said. “Just seeing the side of things and being able to provide for people.”
The processor, at 16 Buddy Faust Road in Crawford, is set to open in September for the next deer season. The first year will focus only on processing deer, but Armour plans to branch out to beef and pork in the second year.
“We hope it’ll just bring people together, and we hope that we can feel like family to them,” Katie said. “(We hope) they want to bring their deer here and just give to our community, as far as just providing a place for them to bring deer and donate whatever we're able to donate.”
Gretsches buy Clayton Cafe
G Brand BBQ manager Angie Gretsch is expanding her Southern food knowledge to a new location.
Gretsch and her husband Fred purchased Clayton Café on April 9. The café, at 48 N. Main St., has been renamed Mrs. Angie’s Clayton Café.
“We love cooking and serving others,” she said. “It makes people happy, and it makes us happy. You know, that's part of our blessing to give to others.”
The café originally opened in 1931, and has had multiple owners, but it has always served Southern cooking.
Gretsch said she’s bringing the same foods from G Brand BBQ to the café, such as fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, casseroles and pies.
The couple also owns the Cupboard Cafe in Dillard, Georgia.
“Our hard work shows by who walks through that door and comes back and comes back and comes back,” Angie Gretsch said. “Like I say, that’s what it’s all about. It’s just making people feel good. And they come back. You get to know them on a personal level, and you know them by name.”
