Incentive program aims to bring more Georgians to farmers markets

By Dallas Duncan

When the staff at Georgia Organics began brainstorming ways to get more people to shop regularly at farmers markets, they discovered a major barrier was misconception.
"We had to kind of come out of our bubble for this. When you're so used to coming to a farmers market ... you forget what the impression of a farmers market is to those who haven't been," said Danielle Moore, manager of the group's Farmers Market Campaign. "We found out that people were confused about how you shop at a market, do you barter, what are the tokens, who do you buy from, and they found there wasn't a central place to ask those questions."
Enter the My Market Club, a rewards program designed to introduce new customers to a market shopping experience.
On their first visit to one of the participating markets, customers receive a $5 token to spend, Moore said. Their second visit earns them a coupon from a sponsoring restaurant and during their third visit, customers can take home an "I Love My Market" shirt, tote bag or apron. In addition, bringing a first-timer guest gets shoppers entered to win prizes.
This year's participating venues are Atlanta's Grant Park, East Atlanta and Freedom markets; Decatur Farmers Market; Forsyth Farmers Market in Savannah; Mulberry Street Farmers Market in Macon; and Statesboro Mainstreet Farmers Market.
"To date, we've had almost 6,000 people who have come," Moore said. "Those are all new market shoppers. The stipulation for signing up for the program is it has to be your first time to show up."

Georgia's summer burn ban now in effect

By Dallas Duncan
Citizens in 54 Georgia counties, stretching from just south of the Tennessee border to Macon and across toward South Carolina, will be asked to put their yard waste fires out for several months as the 2014 open burn ban goes into effect.
"We have the burn ban to reduce particulates and ozone emissions," said James Eason, Georgia Environmental Protection Division VOC and combustion unit manager. "During the summer months, the heat and humidity are more conducive to the production of particulate matter and ozone."
Open burning produces small particulates that are able to be breathed into the lungs, which can lead to lung and heart damage, he said.
The burn ban lasts until Sept. 30, and prevents residents from burning yard debris, Eason said. Household garbage is not allowed to be burned at any time in Georgia.
The counties covered in the ban are Banks, Barrow, Bartow, Bibb, Butts, Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Clarke, Clayton, Cobb, Columbia, Coweta, Crawford, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Floyd, Forsyth, Fulton, Gordon, Gwinnett, Hall, Haralson, Heard,

Henry, Houston, Jackson, Jasper, Jones, Lamar, Lumpkin, Madison, Meriwether, Monroe, Morgan, Newton, Oconee, Paulding, Peach, Pickens, Pike, Polk, Putnam, Richmond, Rockdale, Spalding, Troup, Twiggs, Upson, Walker and Walton.
Campfires and certain agricultural activities are permitted during the burn ban, however.
"It's not so prevalent in the burn ban area, but there are some crops that have to be burned before they're harvested. Sugarcane comes to mind," Eason said. "Other things could be [burning] to control disease, bugs, things like that."
He said in the past, research has shown that the burn ban does reduce the amount of particulate emissions in the air.
"This is very good news for Georgia," Keith Bentley, Georgia EPD Air Protection Branch Chief said in a news release. "This success is confirmation that the clean air strategies we have in place in Georgia, including the open burning ban, are working."
There are alternatives consumers and farmers can utilize in lieu of burning yard waste and land-clearing debris.
"They can use it as mulch. There are some counties that will accept yard debris [in the trash]," Eason said. "Or, if worst comes to worst, they can save it until after the burn ban is lifted."

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Georgia Olive Farms

Cooperative members see `true benefit' in program

By Jenna Saxon, press office
Georgia Olive Farms, an agricultural cooperative formed in 2009, is the leading East Coast producer and marketer of olive trees and Georgia Olive Farms Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In 2011, Georgia Olive Farms harvested the first commercial crop of olives grown east of the Mississippi from its orchards near Lakeland, Ga.
Since that first harvest, Georgia Olive Farms experienced great success and support from many of the top chefs in the country.
Georgia Olive Farms sells two varieties of extra virgin olive oil: Arbequina and Chef's Blend. This olive oil can be found in retail outlets throughout the state. The oil can be purchased wholesale from the company's website. In addition to the oil, Georgia Olive Farms also sells both traditional olive trees and varieties that are suitable for high-density planting.

Georgia Olive Farms has been a proud Georgia Grown supporter since 2012.
"Georgia Grown supports quality, local grown products like our Georgia Olive Farms Extra Virgin Olive Oil," said founder Jason Shaw. "As a new industry, it was important for Georgia Olive Farms to be
a part of a reputable organization that promotes our state's resources and treasures as well as educates the public about what is made in right here in our own backyard. We found that in Georgia Grown."
Georgia Olive Farms sees a true benefit in its membership. Shaw said Georgia Grown creates an economic forum for businesses to introduce quality product. "Georgia Olive Farms is proud to have been a part of all aspects for the past few years and will continue to support this program in the future," he said.

TAKE 5: Meet our summer intern

1. Tell us a little about your agri-

cultural background.

When I first applied to the Uni-

versity of Georgia, I decided that I

wanted to major in agricultural and

applied economics and since then,

I haven't looked back. With such a

strong community oriented here, I

knew that I wanted to continue my

education with the department by

DUDACEK

deciding to get my masters in agribusiness. By studying agriculture, I

can say without a doubt that this has been one of the best

decisions that I have ever made!

2. Why did you want to intern with the Department

and the Market Bulletin?

I wanted to intern with the Department and the Mar-

ket Bulletin because I felt like this was a way for me to

help make a difference. Agriculture is our state's largest

industry, and I want to be a part of something that is such

a huge part of the state. I am also extremely interested in

the relationship between the farmer and consumer, so I

really want to work on how I can help strengthen these

relationships.

3. What part of the internship are you most excited

about?

I am super excited to just be interning with the

Department, but I am most excited about interviewing

members of Georgia Grown for the Market Bulletin. I

feel that getting to know these agribusinesses on a more

personal level will not only increase my understanding of

the program but also help showcase how many remarkable local businesses our state has to offer! It also doesn't hurt that the Department is less than a mile away from Turner Field. Go Braves! 4. You have a passion for marketing. How do you
hope to relate that to your future career goals in
agriculture?
By partaking in this internship, I plan to gain knowledge that will contribute to my technical paper for my graduate program, but I also hope that this internship will provide me with the experience to create marketing tools that are specific for the agriculture industry. It would be a dream come true to eventually work for the Department, especially for Georgia Grown, because I believe that it provides so many opportunities for local farmers and businesses, and I would love to be a part of a program that gives back to its community. 5. If you could only choose one Georgia commodity
to farm for the rest of your life, what would it be and
why?
If I could only farm one Georgia commodity for the rest of my life, it would definitely be dairy cows. Not only do they help in the production of delicious products, but cows are just wonderful animals. They are just too cute, and I would love to have two cows as pets some day!
Maggie Dudacek, originally form Suwanee, Ga., is
completing dual bachelors and masters degrees as well
as a turfgrass management minor. She will graduate
from UGA in December.

GUEST COLUMN: Ensuring Georgia farmers receive high quality peanut seed

In 2013 the state of Georgia

produced 430,000 acres of

peanuts. This is impressive when

you consider that only 1,067,000

acres were planted in the US. That

number includes production in

Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi,

Alabama, Florida, South Carolina,

North Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana,

HOLLIFIELD

Arizona, Arkansas, California, New Mexico and Tennessee. At

least 95 percent of the peanut seed

planted in Georgia is produced within the Georgia Crop

Improvement Association's Certified Seed program.

Peanut producers expect and demand high quality,

genetically pure seed. Obtaining a uniform stand is one

of the keys to high peanut yields. Producing high quality

seed is both expensive and specialized. The GCIA is a

nonprofit organization of producers and seed conditioners

dedicated to providing the highest quality seed available

to producers.

Through its certification service, GCIA enables the

farmer to secure the best seed possible for his or her

farm. Certification encourages farmers to produce seed

of approved varieties and also protects the buyers of

crop seed in that only seeds of high quality and superior

performance are approved for certification.

In 2013, GCIA staff inspected and certified 106,770

acres of cropland for seed production, including 92,218

acres of peanuts. In conducting peanut field inspections,

GCIA staff traveled almost 50,000 miles across Georgia

in 2013.

The association manages a four-step quality assurance

program:

u All certified seed originates from the seed developed

by the breeder of the variety. University of Georgia

developed varieties are licensed by the UGA

Research Foundation, and propagated and distributed

to licensees by the Georgia Seed Development

Commission. Special care and inspection are utilized to ensure varietal purity and identity through the initial seed increase. u Fields are inspected by GCIA personnel to verify and document varietal purity and identity. Fields that do not meet minimum isolation requirements or those containing other varieties are not harvested for seed. u All certified peanut seed must be conditioned in approved seed conditioning facilities. These facilities are trained to maintain varietal purity and identity and must be knowledgeable of all applicable seed certification rules, state and federal seed laws. They also have the specialized equipment to shell, treat and store fragile peanut seed. In 2013, GCIA certified 45 approved seed conditioning facilities, with several plants conditioning more than one kind of certified seed, including 24 facilities approved to process seed peanuts. u All seed must be tested in an approved laboratory. Approved laboratories have trained staffs that analyze seed for purity and test seed for germination. Peanut seed must have at least a 75 percent germination, no more than 5 percent broken seed, stones, stems, etc., and contain no noxious weed seed. Peanut seeds meeting these strict criteria are identified by a "Blue Certified Seed" tag or label, assuring the farmer of receiving a high quality seed of a known variety.

Letter from the editor
I'm child of the `90s, when Disney was in its movie heyday. I knew all the words to every song in Lion King. I warbled tunes to Little Mermaid, wanted a tiger like Raja in Aladdin and felt myself a bookworm like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. But my all-time favorite Disney movie was actually made in the 1950s: Peter Pan.
It was a story about growing up. Peter Pan was in all sense of the word a man-child. He came to Neverland and spent his time fending off pirates, befriending mermaids and learning to fly via pixie dust. Peter did not want to grow up. It's the same feeling I had roughly three years ago as I sat with thousands of my Bulldog peers in Sanford Stadium, not for a football game, but for the ultimate rite of passage: that moment when your college dean stands on stage, says a few words and confers your degree upon you. In those three minutes, you go from carefree student whose biggest priority is the impending chemistry final to an adult. It's like, BAM suddenly you're stuck thinking about "grown-up" scenarios: Are they serious when they say sweat pants can't be worn in the office, or is that more of like a suggestion instead of a rule?
And bills. Lots of bills. I was so excited to high-tail it out of that chemistry class that it took about 48 hours for things to sink in. I was out of college. I was free! Or, well, as free as it is possible to be when you can't sleep in because you work an hour away from where you live. Graduation is supremely bittersweet. On the one hand, you want so badly to be done with classes, done with sitting on those hard plastic chairs with desks you can barely fit your notebook on (much less your Coke bottle, and Heaven forbid you need a calculator too). But on the other hand, why on Earth did I want to leave Athens after a mere four years?! I don't regret making the decision to grow up (although every time a student loan bill comes I question why I paid for college in the first place). And despite my reservations about leaving UGA, despite my occasional contemplations of graduate school ... I'm really glad I grew up with a career plan in agriculture. I've heard multiple professors and agriculturalists speak on this. There are jobs in agriculture. Lots of them. And they need you. The average age of farmers is rising. I read a recent column by Donn Cooper of Georgia Organics that stated, according to the recent Census of Agriculture, the age of farmers in our state is higher than the national average. There are jobs on farms run by men and women at and above this average age. And there is more and more interest in small-scale farming by younger people who have no agricultural background and desperately need someone with the know-how of making a farm work. There are jobs in corporate America. My uncle graduated from UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and now is a top staff member at firm in Alpharetta, Ga. One of my best friends spent time at an agricultural marketing company in St. Louis after getting her degree. There are jobs in agriculture you probably didn't know were associated with agriculture. Can we say fashion designer? Yep. Cotton, wool, angora, ever heard of them? If anyone would like to join me in a Georgia Grown knitted apparel venture, you know where to find me. Don't forget about restaurants, Extension and teaching! Landscaping, historians, government positions, opening a brewery! The possibilities are endless! Take it however you want, but I leave you with this bit of graduate wisdom. Whether you're growing up this month or taking a victory lap (or two) before officially entering adulthood, agriculture is definitely the field to be in.

ARTY'S GARDEN:
An old rose that became an old friend

FEATURE RECIPE:
Stromboli

I hate when plant breeders name a flower variety after another flower. It can be confusing: `Geranium' narcissus and `Pink Camellia' geranium come to mind.
Another example is the `Gardenia' rose that started blooming in my garden in April. I suppose its open flowers do resemble gardenias in size and color. The pointed buds start out buttery yellow and open to cream before fading to almost white. Gardenias do the reverse, starting out pure white, but aging to shades of yellow.
`Gardenia' does not mimic the thick, spicy fragrance of its namesake. There are fruity notes in its perfume profile, and rosarian Peter Beales said the rose's refreshing fragrance is "reminiscent of apples." But fragrance can be subjective and hard to pinpoint, especially the complex fragrance of a rose.
For many years I did not know the rose's true name. I first encountered it at the old Goodson homeplace when I was jogging down Randleman Road in Iron Station, NC. No one was living in the rundown house or had lived there for years, but that did not seem to bother the mystery rose one bit. It was covered with blooms and showed no signs of needing any attention.
A rose that blooms and thrives with no care? Well, that got my attention. I ran home for the clippers to take cuttings. That was 1980 and `Gardenia' has been with me ever since. In the past 34 years it has never been fertilized or sprayed with any fungicide or insecticide. It hasn't needed it. There may be an occasional hint of black spot or powdery mildew on a couple leaves, but never enough to detract from its appearance or health.
Three decades may seem like a long time, but

`Gardenia' has been around much longer. It came out in 1899 as a cross between the memorial rose (Rosa wichuraiana) and `Perle des Jardins,' one of the finest yellow tea roses of its day. It got good qualities of both parents: color and fragrance from `Perle des Jardins' and vigor and attractive foliage from the memorial rose. The memorial rose received its name because it was often planted in cemeteries, a good indication of its durability as cemeteries are places
where plants often have to get by with minimal care.
`Gardenia' is a rambler, but can be grown as a large, mounding shrub. Mine covers the chain-link fence between me and a neighbor. In fact, it has practically hidden the fence and will need some serious pruning after it blooms in order for me to squeeze by it.
Although not a repeat bloomer, `Gardenia' produces oodles of flowers during the few weeks it reigns as queen of the garden. I cut bouquets for friends and neighbors. They delight in the rose's perfectly pointed yellow buds, changing colors, fragrance and history. I suppose I could find a rose that blooms longer, requires less pruning or has fewer thorns. But I also have my shortcomings and prickly moments. `Gardenia' may not be perfect, but it has become a valuable garden friend whose history has become entwined with my own. I hope we have at least 34 more years together.

Editor's Note: Sam Castillo of Gainesville, Ga., submitted this Italianinspired recipe. Though we used the meats and cheeses listed below, feel free to experiment with your favorite deli cuts to find the perfect flavor for your family.

Ingredients: 2 loaves frozen white or Italian
bread cup vegetable oil 1 large onion, sliced pound sliced mushrooms 1.5 green bell peppers, sliced 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons corn meal pound each sliced pepperoni,
sliced ham, sliced salami pound each sliced provolone
and sliced sharp cheddar cheese 1 egg, beaten with pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions: 1. Coat two large bowls and both frozen bread loaves in oil. Defrost bread in bowls by covering with plastic wrap and setting in a warm place for six to eight hours. The bread will expand greatly during defrosting. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Saut vegetables in butter until tender, using a large skillet. 4. Spread a 9x14-inch cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with oil and sprinkle corn meal on top. Roll out dough to fit pan. 5. Place meat, cheese and vegetables in alternating layers down the center of each loaf. 6. Bring the ends of the dough together to form a rectangle and seal with the beaten egg mixture. Brush dough with any remaining egg mixture. 7. Bake for20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

FFA members help revitalize Macon during 2014 state convention

By Dallas Duncan

Macon, Ga., turned National Blue and Corn Gold earlier this month as thousands of FFA students descended on middle Georgia for their 86th state convention.
Their motto, "learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve," was posted in multiple locations throughout the event, but a number of chapters took the last three words to another level and participated in an annual day of service on May 1. Chapters could participate in a food drive, assist at the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank, spend time with young patients at Children's Hospital of Macon or volunteer to revitalize neighborhoods through Rebuilding Macon.
"A child did this. A child went to their adviser and says, `Our motto is living to serve. And why don't we serve? Macon is the home of our state convention, why don't we do something in one of those days that we're there?'" said Kim Drinkwine, development director for Rebuilding Macon. "And that's how it got started."
She said the program has grown from 160 to 320 students volunteering in this part of the service project since it began about five years ago.
"We always participate in the Rebuilding Macon project house painting," said Brandon Walker, agriculture teacher and FFA adviser at Loganville Middle School. "I think rather than just coming down to state FFA convention and having a good time and going to sessions, I think this gives kids a hands-on service opportunity for them to just put what we teach into action."
Student, parent and adviser volunteers worked on four homes. They gave the outside and porches fresh coats of paint, brightened up the trim and worked in the yard, raking lawns and pruning.
"These homeowners are just tickled to death to get their houses cleaned up and

painted," Drinkwine said. "These people are elderly or handicapped. They're low to moderate income; some have no means to do any of this."
Homeowner Jacqueline Jackson said the service project, as well as others put on by Rebuilding Macon, will inspire residents to make their homes just as attractive which will help revamp the look of the city.
"It's just a win-win situation," Drinkwine said. "It opens a lot of kids' eyes and it starts them on a path of service. And they see how people less fortunate than potentially themselves struggle and see where they can help now and in the future."
The 2014 project was a first for Gretchen Martnez-Rodrguez, a Bradwell Institute FFA member.
"It's awesome. I like it because it gives me an opportunity to help another person," she

said. "It's part of what we do, we serve the community."
Martnez-Rodrguez was one of several dozen FFA members who painted and landscaped Jackson's home. Jackson learned about Rebuilding Macon after seeing the organization spruce up a neighbor's house.
"It is so beautiful. I can see it instantly because that white has been dull for so long, and I love a clean house, but just couldn't afford it," she said. "Thank God for this."
And in an unusual coincidence, her home was worked on by FFA students from her hometown.
"It's so amazing. I'm so proud of these young kids. They're doing such a wonderful job," Jackson said. "Being from Richmond Hill, I never thought I'd see Liberty County here. These kids are having fun and they don't mind doing it. It's a blessing."

CLUB: My Market program addresses consumer misconceptions

Last year, more than 200 new shoppers signed up at the Statesboro market.
"We could see the difference. The farmers could feel the difference in their pocketbooks," said Chairperson Debra Chester. "Once people come and visit the market, they're hooked."
Roberta Salmon of Formaggio, a vendor at the Decatur market, has seen the effects of My Market Club on her sales.
"A lot of people come just to see what's here and maybe they'll come back at another time. But now that you have some money to spend, `I'm going to buy now,'" she said. "They're like, `What! I get $5 for me just for coming here, that's great!' I feel like it builds a little bit of camaraderie in the market."
Each participating venue has an ambassador, a person responsible for sharing information about the specific market and making sure all visitors feel welcome, said Dani San Filippo, market operations coordinator for

Community Farmers Markets. The ambassadors reach out at community events as well as educate My Market Club members on food options, healthy meal preparation and vendors.
"It's a program of education and it's not only to educate the consumer, but to educate the general public about really why everyone should be able to afford and have the opportunity to purchase this food," Chester said.
Several of the participating markets are involved in the Wholesome Wave program.
"They will double your dollars. If you have SNAP and EBT and you swipe your card for $10, you'll actually get $20 to spend at the market," Moore said.
This is an important part of the My Market Club mission, which has markets located in areas considered "food deserts," or places where the public does not have easy access to grocery stores or other places to purchase fresh food.

"Many customers ... only go to the corner store or gas station to get their food. At the end of the day when they're trying to spend SNAP and EBT dollars, they're spending it on things that aren't very healthy for them," Moore said. "Wholesome Wave makes them feel like they're welcome at the market and can afford to feed their families meals and not just snacks. It's been so phenomenal to see these peoples' reactions when they come to the market."
She said it is easier for customers to imagine eating healthy, and eating fresh produce, when they are able to stretch their dollar further.
"My Market is really helpful in dispelling erroneous assumptions about a market, that it's only for people who can spend x-amount of money for organic food," Chester said. "Farmers markets aren't just for the wellheeled people. Farmers markets are for everyone."
