Our Family Legacy
Circle F, LLC was born from generations of faith, hard work, and a shared love for the land. What began as a simple family farm has grown into a business rooted deeply in stewardship—caring for God’s creation, honoring the past, and building something lasting for the future.
The Fuller family story traces back through three and four generations in Georgia and nearby South Carolina. The land itself carries the spirit of their father, James Grady Fuller Sr., who grew up farming in the years after the Great Depression. He often said they “didn’t know they were poor—everyone was,” and believed that hard work was a blessing, not a burden. His grit, his love for animals, and his colorful way of keeping everyone in line left a lasting mark on his children. He taught them that caring for the land and its creatures is both a duty and a privilege.
At the heart of the Circle F home place still lives Mary Elizabeth Scott Fuller—“Memi”—who will turn 90 in January 2026. She continues to remind everyone of the values that built this family: faith, kindness, and perseverance. Born near Aiken, South Carolina, and once nicknamed “May Queen” as a teenager, Mimi still loves to reminisce about her childhood—picking cotton alongside adults and holding her own, proof that determination runs deep in her roots.
Today, brothers Grady and Wes Fuller, along with Grady’s son DJ Fuller, continue that legacy through Circle F, blending traditional and modern methods of land care—livestock grazing with sheep and goats. United by their faith and family bond, they carry forward the belief that “God is perfect and we are not, but love covers a multitude of those lines.”
Circle F isn’t just a business. It’s a way to live out that love, honor the generations before them, and leave something meaningful for those yet to come.

The Heart Behind Circle F: Pop & Memi
At the center of Circle F is the story of James Grady Fuller, Sr. (“Pop”) and Mary Elizabeth Scott Fuller (“Memi”)—the couple whose love for the land and one another built the foundation our family stands on today.
Pop grew up in the Appling area of Columbia County, where the Fuller family has lived for generations. As a young boy, he farmed the land with a mule and, later, proudly upgraded to a tractor—never afraid of hard work. He loved the land deeply, rarely left it, and eventually purchased a small plot in the early 1970s, where he built the family home and created a small farm filled with cows, horses, goats, chickens, and a large garden he tended faithfully. That land became known as Circle F—the name that now carries forward through our company.
Memi, originally from Montmorenci in Aiken County, South Carolina, met Pop while working at the Savannah River Site as a young adult. The two married in 1957 and raised four children—Patti, Becky, Grady, and Wes—instilling in each of them a love for family, faith, and hard work.
Pop passed away in 2010 at age 75, but his humor and grit remain part of every story told on the farm. He was plain-spoken, quick-witted, and had no trouble “cussing you out when you needed it—and sometimes even when you didn’t.” Even in his final days, his spirit shone through; when told not to drink water before possible surgery, he told his son Wes, “I might die of something, but I don’t want it to be of thirst.” He also had a taste for Kentucky bourbon and once famously called the police on himself after one too many—proof that Pop lived life in full color.
Memi, the heart and anchor of the family, was known as the “May Queen” in her youth and still radiates that same warmth and charm today. Athletic, social, and endlessly hospitable, she’s the embodiment of Southern grace. Approaching 90 in January 2026, she remains active, sharp, and full of “Memiisms” that have guided generations. As a child, she picked cotton alongside adults, proud to match their pace—a spirit that defined her life. She was, and continues to be, the glue that holds the Fuller family together.
Their love for the land, for God, and for one another is the true heartbeat of Circle F. Every sheep, goat, and acre we care for is a continuation of the legacy Pop and Memi began—proof that faith, family, and hard work will always stand the test of time.
