Shangri-Baa is run by the husband and wife team of Charlie Vaughn and Cynthia Alby. Both enjoy being outdoors and having the opportunity to live closely with animals. 

Charlie runs the farm. He also loves cars, WWII, and bicycling. 

Cynthia's "real" job is being a professor of education at nearby Georgia College. She also loves reading, writing, art, and cooking.

The Farm

Our farm was established in 2003. When we purchased our 27 acres, it was just a long dirt driveway, 5 acres of scrub pine and brush, and 22 acres of mature hardwood forest. We cleared the scrub by hand with chainsaws and pruners to create a pasture and built a passive-solar house. We cleared some hiking trails through the forest, but beyond that the forest will remain untouched. And bit by bit we've added flowers, raised vegetable beds, fruit orchards, and quiet spots to enjoy the view. 


​Dog Rescue

Our farm has fostered more than 100 shelter dogs over the years, but the dogs you see here are all part of the team of permanent residents: Max, Sprout, Josie, Moze, and Olive.

If you need a guardian for your livestock, not just any dog will do. It truly must be a breed bred for centuries to have fine-tuned instincts for properly caring for other animals. But if you need a companion, consider a shelter dog. They are the best! (And we should know.)
