Good Morning, Copperhead. My family has been out of the business for a couple of generations now, but we originated out of Elijay, GA in the early 1900s and were in the business then.
My boss is from Elijay. Been there a couple times with him. He took us by some old copper mine where his father worked. The ground was almost purple and he said it came from the dust from the mines as best as I can remember. Cool area.
