"We have 70 farms right now that are certified organic. We have an aggressive goal to hit 30 certified organic farmers in the next 18 months. It's not going to be easy, but we feel confident that it can happen," said Alice Rolls, executive director of Georgia Organics. The organization's 100 Organic Farms Campaign, in partnership with the Department, kicked off Dec. 11 in Fayetteville, Ga. The campaign was spurred on by increased demand for organic produce and products, and the ability Georgia farmers have to meet that demand as well as take advantage of economic incentives, Rolls said. For example, one south Georgia soybean farmer's 60 certified organic acres brought him 40 percent higher prices than conventionally grown soybeans, she said. According to Cheryl Galway, marketing director for Whole Foods Market's southern region, more than 80 percent of Americans purchase at least some organic products. "Organic sales of food and beverage reached $35 million in 2013. It's up 11 percent from just the previous year," Galway said. "The main category in that remains fruits and vegetables, which is $11 million. That's grown 15 percent in the last two years." Because Georgia is such a big fruit- and vegetable-producing state, Georgia Organics members believe it's a good fit for more certified or- See FARMS, page 11 Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Gary W. Black addresses attendees at the 100 Organic Farms campaign kickoff on Dec. 11 in Fayetteville, Ga. The campaign, a partnership between Georgia Organics and the Department, aims to add 30 more certified organic farms in Georgia during the next 18 months.

Built on a commitment of high quality and safe produce, the company is now run by the seventh generation of the Corbett family. "We're an ever-changing company," said Eric Bolesta, sales representative for the company. The company is in the process of branching into new product lines that will bring a variety of products to its consumers and diversity to its crop lines. The farm harvests nearly 2000 acres annually of assorted vegetables, including long hot peppers, hot wax peppers, zucchini squash, eggplant and bell peppers. Although the company may be branching out into new markets, it does do not forget the core values that it was built on, the main one being food safety. All products are sanitized and packaged in a climate- controlled environment and food safety is taught to employees through training. The company was inspired to join Georgia Grown in part because of its redesigned brand. "We decided to join because we liked the new logo. It seemed inviting not just to us but to all our consumers as well. We actually use it on all of our packaging," Bolesta said. "It seems like a beneficial way for all of us to gain exposure and mentions at larger events." Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W.

We've heard of the sleigh, the reindeer and presents I'm sure. But city dwellers may be shocked To find out that it is the farmers who really keep Santa stocked. Now of course the elves make the toys And the man in red delivers them to good girls and boys. But what about that long ride? To keep them going, Santa and his helpers need someone on their side. McPEAKE St. Nick, he would tire without milk and something to eat, But despite all the folklore of cookies to be his favorite treat, It's really the nutrition in peanuts, pecans, blueberries and other fruit That keeps Santa alert and on route. And the reindeer they too get hungry along the lengthy track, And also need a bit of a snack. So ranchers leave them a taste of silage, bahia grass and hay To keep them heading the right way. But of course food isn't the jolly one's only need in flight. Thankfully his cozy suite has the comfort of cotton to keep him dry and warm all night. So the next time you consider what gift to share, Remember that it's the farmers who really produce the gifts of care. On Christmas and year round, Safe, abundant and affordable food abound. Hence far and near let it be known, To make your Christmas this year Georgia Grown! Julie McPeake is the Department's director of communications.

GUEST COLUMN: The Georgia Farmers Market Guide The Department has made a commitment to bring together consumers and small agricultural and specialty item producers by encouraging the formation and use of local farmers markets. At first glance, this may seem like a somewhat daunting task, but have no fear, because help is here and it is in the form of The Georgia Farmers Market Guide! It is no secret that community farmers markets can be an enjoyable and effec- tive way to provide high-quality, local items to consumers. Odds are, you've seen the positive effects local markets created in your own town or community, wheth- er it be from a social or an economic standpoint. As their popularity grows, local markets are becoming a more common sight in neighborhoods and communities FIFE all around us, and in an effort to help assure the success of these local markets, the Department through The Georgia Farmers Market Guide, offers what is essentially a blueprint for one to use in developing the details of their new farmers market venture, or for planning changes to an existing market. This guide has been created for Georgians just like yourselves to be used as a resource for persons or groups interested in starting or participating in a community farmers market, or as an aide in the improvement of one that is already up and running. The guide covers a wide range of topics, includ- ing how to place products to attract customers' attention, the best way to arrange vendor booths to allow maximum utilization of space and traffic flow, proper product placement to attract customers to individual vendors, necessary food safety information and hyperlinks to licensing requirements, helpful tips for the manager or vendors, as well as additional resources and links that are provided within for any farmers market venture you are interested in pursuing. Though some markets take off quickly and make great strides, not all do. Some local markets struggle for a variety of reasons. Many times what differentiates the markets that are successful from the ones that struggle and sometimes fail can be found in the planning and execution of the market as a whole. From start to finish every detail of how your new market is set up, run and managed will set you apart from the rest and determine what level of success you will achieve. These guidelines can also be applied to markets that are already established. It is vital to your mar- ket's success and survival to keep improving because after all, the better your local farmers market is, the better the experience for the consumer, the producer, and for Georgia agriculture as a whole. We encourage you take a moment and explore the new The Georgia Farmers Market Guide and to utilize its resources and ideas to start a local farmers market, or to improve an existing one. We hope to see you at a local market soon! Jessica Fife is the Department's Marketing Division intern this fall.

Love. Christmas. In a past life, I think wore vibrant sweaters every day and owned a Christmas shop. Seriously. My obsession with Christmas and holiday decorating drives my mother insane. We actually have a deal where I'm allowed to do all the decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving, to my heart's content, as long as I promise to wake up on Dec. 26 and have it all down by lunch. It probably drives my boyfriend insane too: he's Jewish and didn't grow up with a crazy holiday decorator in the home. He is just gonna have to get used to it! Aside from decorating, I love shopping for or making the perfect gifts to wrap for family and friends. I love seeing the smiles on peoples' faces when they tear off the ribbon and uncover what's in the package. My little brother and I usually swap craft beer from our favorite local breweries: his in Charleston, SC., and mine in Athens and Atlanta. Daddy's a big fan of things to use in the yard or things that come off my knitting needles. My boyfriend is probably going to get nifty kitchen implements that I can also get some use from. I can't give y'all any hints as to what my mother is getting. As I drive her up a wall with my Christmas decorating, she drives us up a wall with her insatiable appetite to find all of her Christmas presents well in advance. Since I know you're reading this, Mom, just know that this year's gift is epic as usual and will not appear under the tree until Christmas morning! If I had all the money in the world, I'd buy myself a pair of Christian Louboutin heels and then use the rest to spoil my friends and family with gifts at Christmas. But, alas, I don't have all the money in the world not even close! So I have to get resourceful when it comes to holiday shopping. With few exceptions, I either make presents or find nifty things at locally owned stores, no matter how appealing the $85,000 customized boat is in the SkyMall catalog. Shopping at local, or even a regional chain store to a certain extent, is a fulfilling task. Not only are you supporting small business owners, chances are you're nabbing a gift that your recipient won't receive from anyone else. The Georgia Grown Gift Guide we published in the Dec. 10 issue is a great example of local shopping. Our Georgia businesses (whether they're Georgia Grown members or not) are spectacular at making the holidays bright. You can grab a jar of jelly or bottle of wine, spiff it up with a gift tag and bow, and voil, something to hand to the hostess of your final holiday gathering! Even better, you can make your own foodie gift, if you're so inclined. If you're not that into food gifts, dazzle the ladies in your life with original jewelry or bath goods. I was amazed at how many of these we have in Georgia when I started getting gift guide submissions in November! And for the men (or meatetarians like myself), we have an absolute plethora of Georgia businesses that specialize in grilling spices and sauces. Even celebrities and TV are catching on to Georgia artisans, brews and foods as gifts to give. The home shopping channel QVC exclusively supports Claxton Fruit Cake, which you read about in the Dec. 10 issue, and Oprah herself recently gave a shout-out to The Blackberry Patch for some of its syrups. Remember that thing I said earlier about supporting the local economy when you shop at small businesses? I came across a great graphic not too long ago that really cements that message: "When you buy from a small business, you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a mom or dad put food on the table, a little boy get a team jersey, a family pay the mortgage or a student pay for college. My customers are my shareholders. They are the ones I strive to make happy." There are still a few shopping days left before Christmas. I encourage you to get those last-minute gifts and stocking stuffers from a business in your area and help support the owners and their families because like the graphic said, these businesses strive to make YOU happy!

This edition comes from Dr. Janemarie Hennebelle, DVM, the Department's district 1 veterinary supervisor for meat inspection. In 1905, the author Upton Sinclair vividly described the world of abattoirs in his book The Jungle as a place where "things that were quite unspeakable went on ... all the time, and were taken for granted by everybody." The population shift from rural farm life to urban centers meant that people needed someone else to provide their daily meat. Driven by the economy, the early meat industry at times sacrificed food safety for profit, leading to the need for a regulated, scientific-based approach to the inspection of slaughterhouses and meat products. Originally, butchers were relied upon to identify disease conditions in meat that were harmful to the public. As the meat industry grew in response to changing population needs, veterinarians and a team of assistants were called upon to take over that role and ensure the safety of the food supply. The Federal Meat Inspection Act was written into law in 1906 and Georgia followed in 1969 with the Georgia Meat Inspection Act. The act created the state's Meat Inspection Section, which is a program that provides daily inspection at meat and poultry producing facilities that is at least equivalent to the Federal Food Safety Inspection Service. Veterinarians are uniquely qualified to work in meat inspection due to their cross-training among species, including cows, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry, with a particular focus on diseases that are contagious to humans. The state of Georgia employs three veterinarians in meat inspection who share years of experience in clinical practice and additional graduate degrees in a wide range of fields, including pharmacology and preventive veterinary medicine. All three veterinarians share a passion and interest in food safety and public health. Together with a team of highly skilled inspectors around the state, they verify that animals presented for slaughter are not only healthy, but also treated humanely. For establishments that process red meat and poultry products, the inspection team verifies that facilities are clean and that food products are handled in a safe manner. These days, you only have to browse the news to read about a recall of some food product. It is the duty of veterinarians working for the state to identify animals and clinical signs that could result in danger to the food supply and the public. During the inspection of live animals, one illness that we screen for is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE, commonly referred to in the media as Mad Cow Disease. Although the United States has avoided outbreaks of BSE, everyone remembers the devastation that was brought to the livestock farming community and members of the public in the United Kingdom when BSE cases peaked in 1992 with more than 37,000 reported in cattle, according to the World Organization for Animal Health. An additional concern was the determination that BSE is directly related to a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. For this reason, active surveillance is done among cattle at slaughterhouses that are non-ambulatory, or unable to rise and walk on their own, and other cattle showing signs consistent with central nervous system disorders. Because of the hard work of the veterinarians and meat inspection team, cattle potentially harboring BSE do not enter the food chain in Georgia. In addition to screening live animals for signs of disease, veterinarians contribute samples to the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, or NARMS, a group that collects information on bacterial resistance to certain antibiotics. Armed with this information, NARMS shares strategies with the scientific and medical communities on how to effectively use antibiotics and assists in determining what new antibiotics would be useful to both humans and animals. Within slaughterhouses, meat samples are taken to screen for drug residues that can be harmful to people and taint the food supply. Additionally, the inspection team takes samples of product for bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella, Listeria and other microbial contaminants. The team of meat inspection would not be complete without veterinarians who rely upon their knowledge and veterinary medical background to make determinations regarding food safety, along with an excellent group of inspectors. It is a job that is challenging, interesting, never dull and always focused on the safety of the citizens of Georgia and the animals that contribute so much to our health and wellbeing.

But ask citizens of Toombs County, and they'll point up US Highway 1. Smack-dab in the middle of Vidalia Onion country is, indeed, Santa Claus Santa Claus, Ga., that is. Though the jolly old elf only visits once a year, the city has proudly born his name since 1941. "A gentleman by the name of Farmer Green used to have a candy and pecan orchard, and ship candies at a little store on No. 1 Highway, right past City Hall," Mayor Al Lewis said. "No. 1 was the biggest tourist road in the nation. He tried to come up with something that the tourists could remember him and his products by." And though there's no agricultural production in Santa Claus, the city's roots are embedded deep in the soil that today grows nearly 4,000 acres of Vidalias and other crops, all thanks to farmer Calvin Green, the city's first mayor. "The original 60 to decorate the near- acres [of the city] est one is out of town were his pecan or- Santa Claus, Ga., chard," Lewis said.

In 1971, the city grew by 41 more acres The city of Santa Claus, Ga., was incorporated in 1941. Originally a pecan orchard, the rural city is now surrounded by thousands of acres of vegetable and row crop farms. Photo by Dallas Duncan "Last year we stamped right at 4,500 letters. We stamp them with the Santa seal and take them back to the for a total of 101, Lewis said. At Christmas- post office for people," Lewis said.

The city's road names include Sleigh Street, Rudolph Way and December Drive, Lewis said. "Probably the biggest thing we have tradition-wise is on Christmas Eve, we have a load of sand brought in and all the kids in town, and from Vidalia and Lyons, shovel sand in bags. We go up and put a bag [luminary] in front of every house," Lewis said. "At night everyone comes out and lights the candles in front of their houses. It's absolutely gorgeous. All the streets in town are lined with them. We've always told all the children it lights it up for Santa so he can see how to get here." He said the rural city is almost like a step back in time. "It's a wonderful place to live," Lewis said. "On our banners going into town when I got elected mayor, I put `believe' on them. In two or three speeches, I've used the word `believe.' I feel like the community kind of lives off of that motto: that we believe in God, we believe in our country, we believe in our fellow man and last, but not least, we believe in Santa." ARTY'S GARDEN: Garden catalogs - the best wish books of all As a boy I dreamed about the offerings from seed, bulb and plant catalogs the way other children did toys from the Sears Wish Book. Visions of tulips and plum trees danced in my head. Today, I see more choices in those garden catalogs than I ever saw as a child newly developed varieties, newfound introductions and heirloom varieties rescued by enthusiasts who care about genetic diversity and preserving old treasures. Another change from my childhood days is that in addition to, or in lieu of, a printed catalog, companies are putting their products online. This cuts mailing and printing costs and increases the speed with which you can send your order. I started receiving next year's catalogs in the mail and in my inbox, and my wish list is already longer than my garden will accommodate. Here are a few things I plan to order this year. I hope they will give you some ideas, introduce you to a few of the catalogs available and encourage you to try something different in your garden: u `Carolina Gold' rice: I don't have room for a paddy, but a large pot will be fun. I grew rice in the 1980s and again in the `90s. I won't produce enough for a meal, but the seedheads are good for dried arrangements and can be used to feed the birds. (Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, P.O. Box 460, Mineral, VA 23117; 540894-9480, www.southernexposure.com). u `Harlequin' or `Court Jester' marigolds: Gaudily festive the way marigolds should be. (Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co., 2278 Baker Creek Rd., Mansfield, MO 65704; 417-924-8917, www.rareseeds.com). u `Oaxacan Green' corn: Green kernels for cornmeal. I have a friend who grinds her own. She gave me some from her `Bloody Butcher' corn which made a delicious, cranberry-colored cornbread. I will have to share some of this with her. (Johnny's Selected Seeds, 955 Benton Ave., Winslow, ME 04901; 1-877564-6697, www.johnnyseeds.com). u `Star Gazer' and `Bishop's Children' dahlias Some dahlias are easy to grow from seeds. These look worth a try. (Park Seed Co., 3507 Cokesbury Rd., Hodges, SC 29653; 1-800-8453369, www.parkseed. com). u Balsam: Because I haven't seen this charming flower in years. (W. Atlee Burpee & Co., 300 Park Avenue, Warminster, PA 18974; 1-800-888-1447, www. burpee.com). u `Atom' and `Boone' gladioluses: Two very different glads, one bold red with white trim and the other a calm peach. (Old House Gardens, 536 Third St., Ann Arbor, MI 48103; 734-995-1486, www.oldhousegardens.com). u The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Garden- ing in the Southeast by Ira Wallace: Although my bookshelf is as crammed as my garden, I'm going to squeeze this book in. I think it will be a valuable reference. (Southern Exposure Seed Exchange or Timber Press; 1-800-327-5680, www.timberpress.com). Before you place your order, check what is available at your local nursery or garden center. For example, I found interesting varieties of California poppies and nicotianas on the seed rack at a nearby Pike Nursery (www.pikenursery.com). Another place I like to look for seeds, bulbs and plants is the Market Bulletin. You know they will perform well here, and you can help a fellow Georgia gardener make a few extra dollars. Arty Schronce is the Department's resident garden- ing expert. He's a lifelong gardener and a horticulture graduate of North Carolina State University who wishes all Market Bulletin readers a happy and horticultural Christmas! FEATURE RECIPE: First-place Christmas chili Editor's Note: Derrick Lastinger, the Department's structural pest control program director, swept the competition at this year's Chili Cook-off on Dec. 3. His recipe incorporates vibrant green from chiles and a bright pop of red from bell peppers, which also adds a nice crunch to the texture of each bite. Lastinger said when he has more time, he uses a food grinder to grind three to four fresh chicken breasts, and will also cook dry cannellini or navy beans in a pressure cooker in place of the canned beans. Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter, divided 2 celery stalks, chopped 2 Vidalia Onions, chopped 1 garlic clove, chopped 4 cups chicken broth 2 cups water, divided 1.5 pounds fresh ground chicken 3 cans cannellini beans, divided and drained 12 to 15 ounces canned green chiles, chopped 2 corn tortillas, chopped 2 teaspoons ground cumin teaspoon smoked hot paprika 1 bay leaf Red bell pepper, chopped Salt and pepper, to taste Shredded Colby-Jack cheese Cilantro, finely chopped Sour cream Instructions: 1. Melt two tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven. Add celery, onion, garlic and salt, and saut until soft. 2. Add chicken broth and one cup of water (more if needed) and bring to a boil. 3. Add chicken and cook five minutes, stirring to break apart the chicken. 4. Add two cans of beans, chiles, paprika, tortillas, ground cumin and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for one hour, stirring frequently. 5. Process the remaining can of beans and one cup of water in a blender until smooth. Stir into chili. 6. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Add the red bell pep- per and cook until soft. 7. Remove bay leaf and season chili with salt and pepper. Add red bell pep- per just before serving. Top with cheese, sour cream and cilantro. www.agr.georgia.gov FIND GEORGIA AGRICULTURE ONLINE! www.thegamarketbulletin.com www.georgiagrown.com www.facebook.com/georgiamarketbulletin GaMktBulletinBlog.blogspot.com www.twitter.com/gamktbulletin www.pinterest.com/gamktbulletin www.youtube.com/user/gamktbulletin instagram.com/gamktbulletin LEARN MORE ABOUT FARMS AND BUSINESSES IN THIS ISSUE ...
