Belle Rae Farms
Meet the Family Behind the Farm
Codi-Belle Smith
owner
Codi-Belle is the owner and operator of Belle Rae Farms. After graduating high school, she had the opportunity to follow in her parents' footsteps and begin Belle Rae Farms. She prides herself on planning future litters based on behavior, health, and beauty. Despite her young age, Codi-Belle is always looking for new ways to expand Belle Rae Farms and develop a good relationship
with the community.
​
If she's not at the farm, she is at UGA pursuing a degree in
Special Education or working as a dance teacher. In the
future, she would like to use Belle RaeFarms as a therapeutic
outlet for children with special needs around the community.
Dusty (or 'Mom' to some) was once the owner of Shamrock Kennels, an esteemed breeding and showing facility near Athens, GA. Before she found her way to Vesta, Dusty had an extensive career training horses on Kenny Roger's farm right here in Oglethorpe! Dusty contributes a lot to Belle Rae- including, but not limited too, expert vet tech advice, assistance in breed planning, and whelping supervision. Dusty is also the head of Belle Rae Boarding Services. With over forty years of working with animals large and small, she is a pro at whatever the farm life throws at us.
​
Though she likes to spend most of her time on the farm with the animals, she is also a substitute teacher at Oglethorpe County Primary School and is loved by many.
