My name is Brooke Lowden.  I am a mortgage banker with Pinnacle Bank.  I cover Commerce, East Athens and West Athens.  I have been with Pinnacle since August of 2022.  I love helping borrowers with their financing and seeing their face when they get the keys to their new home.  It is especially rewarding for first-time homebuyers.

Chelian Farm
Owner
Chelian Farm is a llama and alpaca farm.  We have hosted the Jackson County 4-H Love of Llamas youth program, since 2007.  We have hosted the Chelian Farm Friends and Family program, since 2020.
We provided educational opportunities and programs geared towards health management, herd management, training, grooming, fiber harvesting, fiber crafts, showing and much more.  It's a great opportunity to allow folks to interact with exotic livestock without the overhead expense of having a farm, barn and animals.
We host several farm fundraisers annually to support the JC 4-H Love of Llamas program.
Kristina McCalla
Rooted Interiors, Inc
Executive Director & Interior Designer

From my earliest memories, I felt a deep connection to the art of interior design. I knew it was more than just a talent; it was a God-given gift that urged me to use this skill for a purpose greater than myself. Throughout my schooling and career, I was most intrigued by the health and wellbeing benefits that interior design offers. This is exactly the life-changing work I enjoy the most. My passion and goal is to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of others, one home at a time!

Originally from Florida, I have proudly been able to call Jackson County, Georgia home for the past 5 years. I love this community and enjoy getting involved however I can whenever there is a need. I am a wife and mother of two plus a beagle.
