Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, Tiger Georgia (population approximately 300) is a hidden treasure for many. Pleasant Springs Farms, Inc. lies in the valley below Tiger Mountain which was named for a Cherokee Indian Chief, Chief Tigertail. The farm goes back to 1793 when the land was settled by ancestors of the present owners. On this land there are twelve springs which were pulsating to the surface when the present owners decided to have them tested for water quality and purity. From these results a decision was made to capture this spring water and share it with others. Thus a water bottling plant was built and established at the source of the springs. For nearly two years plans, preparations and engineering methods were put in place to ensure the continued purity of the water as it is brought to the plant. The twelve springs come from granite aquifers that flow by gravity to the bottling plant through food quality pipes. The springs are protected from any contamination through multi-layering of impervious materials to ensure they will stay pure. This procedure's standards rate above the normal standards set by government agencies. The plant has been cited by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors as a state-of-the-art facility, and has been featured on CNN and magazines in the past. We are now celebrating 14 years of business. The spring water is filtered at three separate stages of processing to ensure the ultimate purity. Finally, before bottling, the water is ozonated to further ensure purity. Pleasant Springs' plant is different from others in that the bottling rooms are individually climate-controlled with micro filtration of all air. These systems filter pollens, dust, molds, and bacteria to ensure protection of the final product. Basically this system is like a hospital operating room air-control system. Quality control testing is done on samples of each day's bottling and of the raw spring water to ensure pure, clean, crystal-clear water to drink. Quality assurance and proficiency testing is performed and sent to private laboratories for verification. Our motto is "Bottling Spring Water with a Spirit of Excellence".
