South Georgia “Growing Local” Conference

South Georgia “Growing Local” Conference

November 12, 2010 – November 13, 2010

8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Registration is now open for the South Georgia Growing Local Food Conference to be held Nov. 12 and 13 at the UGA Black Shank Farm in Tifton, Georgia!

The conference is intended to educate and stimulate the local-food and healthy-food movement in southern Georgia. Events begin on Friday afternoon with a self-guided farm tour, followed by an Okravore Potluck and Bonfire, and a screening of the movie “Fresh” at the Tift Theatre in downtown Tifton. Concurrent workshops will be held all day Saturday in two different tracks. The Homesteading track will offer such topics as cheesemaking, canning, and bread baking. The Growing Local track will offer workshops on growing, animal husbandry, policy, and the local food community.

A delicious lunch that will be as local and organic as possible, catered by chef and farmer Dan Glenn of Osierfield, will be served on Saturday.

A Report on Georgia Organics

This reflection comes from Greenhorns friend Anna Rose…

Dear all,

It’s been a week since I drove down I-20 and began my three day stint in Farmer Heaven, so I thought I’d give y’all an update. I’m writing this monster of a synopsis mostly for posterity, but for anyone who’d like to live in complete joy vicariously, read on. The last paragraph is less summary, more insight.
