Encouraging Healthy Choices:

Farm-to-Table Source Show creates new opportunities for Georgia Grown producers

By Amy H. Carter Editor
Representatives of 48 school districts, two private schools and the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice traveled to the Atlanta State Farmers Market in Forest Park Feb. 25 to attend the 2nd Annual Georgia Grown Farm-to-Table Source Show. Over the course of the daylong event several dozen school nutrition directors learned new ways of incorporating Georgia Grown produce and food products into their school menus, and how to use social media and classroom time to build an understanding of and appreciation for fresh local foods.
Twenty-eight vendors made connections with school nutrition directors from around the state and one another, forging relationships that promise to bring an even greater variety of Georgia Grown products to individual and institutional meal tables

statewide in coming months. "It was a very successful day," said
show coordinator Misty Friedman, who also heads up the Feed My School for a Week Program for the Department of Agriculture. "I think we had some great connections made."
Georgia Grown member Necia Gates, founder of The Queen of Kale based in Norcross, spent the day handing out samples of her kale chips and kale-laced popcorn to school nutrition directors in hopes of getting her wholesome snacks on school menus. She founded her company in 2012 after friends responded enthusiastically to the dehydrated kale snacks she made for her own children. Her products are available at Whole Foods and Kroger.
"I would love to see more kids eating kale," she said of the prospect of supplying Georgia's schools.

19th Annual Georgia Organics Conference offers something for everyone

By Mikki Dixon
As Americans become increasingly conscientious about food production and consumption, the organic agriculture movement is gaining mainstream momentum. A reflection of this growing momentum, the 19th Annual Georgia Organics Conference drew more than 900 attendees to the Columbus Georgia Conference & Trade Center Feb. 26-27.
The two-day conference offered tours of nearby farms where participants experienced organic farming firsthand. More than 70 vendors offered information at the show, including: Whole Foods Market, the University of

Georgia, USDA, the Georgia Farmers Market Association, the Georgia Department of Public Health, Emory University and the National Young Farmers Association.
Educational sessions covered topics ranging from ag taxes to organic insecticides. Eight in-depth sessions addressed such issues as why farms fail, race and gender, biodynamic farming, and maximizing profits in small spaces.
In addition to the vendors, tours and information sessions, Georgia Organics honored two leaders in its field. Will Harris was given the Georgia Organics Land Steward Award, which honors an individual who has contributed to the organic movement in Georgia, both

on and off the farm. "By way of careful stewardship and bold
initiatives, Will is reinventing Southern agriculture," said John T. Edge, director of the Southern Foodways Alliance.
Harris led the transformation of his family's farm, White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, from a traditional cattle ranch to a grass-fed operation with a small-scale organic produce component. He has partnered with nearby Andrew College in Cuthbert to bring sustainable ranching to the curriculum.

Georgia Grown Profile: Southern Valley grows on tradition

Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

By Mikki Dixon
In parts of South Georgia, neighbors are considered family and farming is a lifestyle. The Hamilton family of Norman Park has three generations pouring that same sense of community into their Southern Valley growing operation.
Since its inception in 1987, Southern Valley has gone from a four-person effort to a widely recognized business that supplies produce to retail chains throughout the United States. While maintaining traditional roots, it strives to continue the company heritage of honesty and quality.
Southern Valley has integrated traditional core values with innovative thinking to grow the business nationwide. Rather than be limited by the environment, Southern Valley has expanded its operation into Tennessee during the summer and into the tropical Yucatan Peninsula for the winter months.
"We've branched out to extend our growing season so we can fulfill our business contracts, primarily during the winter months,

but the vast majority of our produce is grown right here in Georgia," said Katie Murray, director of communications and marketing.
Southern Valley's signature product is the pole-grown cucumber, but it also grows a wide variety of vegetables and fruits in South Georgia. In addition to bulk produce, the
company is introducing convenience packaged products in an array of retail markets so busy consumers can grab and go.
Its five new convenience products will be available soon and include: two-pound bags of succulent salad cucumbers; crispy green beans; zucchini or yellow squash; and a onepound bag of the newest offering, Valley

sweet peppers. To further ease the frenzied pace of daily life, Southern Valley's grab-ngo packages will have a simple recipe on the back to help busy individuals prepare quick, nutritious meals for their families.
Americans are becoming more conscientious of the origins of the foods they consume,
and for Georgians this translates into reconnecting with the Southern heritage of producing, purchasing and consuming products grown in Georgia. In this respect, Murray said Southern Valley is proud to be a Georgia Grown member.
"We take pride that we were one of the first members of Georgia Grown now that it's a more recognizable brand," Murray said. "We love working with Georgia Grown because it brings us back to our roots here in Georgia where we got our start." Learn more about Southern Valley at GeorgiaGrown.com.

Guest Column: Trading technology for labor makes a healthier farmer

By Nathan Eason UGA Extension Service, White County

If you grew up on a farm or currently live on a farm, you might not think of

adding additional exercise to your routine, as many farm chores require physical

activity.

I remember my grandmother telling stories of picking a barn of tobacco, feed-

ing the farm animals, cleaning the stalls and keeping up the home place, all as part

of a day's work.

The meals she cooked were filling and the meats were fried; butter, fatback

and lard were necessities for flavoring the vegetables, casseroles and getting the

biscuits just right, not to mention the red-eye gravy. Yet through all of these rich

though somewhat unhealthy meals that my grandmother prepared, served and

raised a family on, she remained thin as a rail. As a matter of fact, all of the young

Nathan Eason

`uns she raised on the farm (including my dad) were pretty lean.

Now I'm not suggesting that it's healthy to eat like this as long as you're work-

ing hard, but the physical portion of my grandmother's daily routine kept her in great shape.

Obviously farming today isn't what it used to be. Fewer people are actually involved in growing the food

and fibers that supply the country's needs. Today new technology such as four-wheelers, various all-terrain

vehicles and hydraulic farming equipment has alleviated some of the backaches. They have also taken a lot

of physical activity out of the daily tasks at hand, causing even country folk to be a little less active.

I will admit that, because of technology, we are able to get more done on a farm in one day than com-

pared to the early 1900s (and that's a good thing, because time is precious). But have we literally taken too

many steps out of farm life?

My point is this: If you have a small farm, large farm or just a few acres, try to consciously change how

you carry out some of your routine tasks in an effort to remain or get physically fit. Walk your property

instead of always riding the four-wheeler. When you walk your property, you're more likely to notice the

details of the farm. You might pick up on a gap in the livestock fence or you might notice weed problem

areas in your crops. You can better assess animal health and behaviors when you walk by them. You will be

more in tune with the needs of your property, and you will burn calories and get fit.

No one's property is just alike. If you're like me, owning a piece of land is something special and taking

care of it is a No. 1 priority. Likewise, your health should also be a high priority, so that you can maintain

and share that land with generations to come.

Whether you live on a farm or just enjoy maintaining your home landscape, I challenge you to incorpo-

rate more safe physical activity into your life while working on your property. Maybe not every time, but

at least sometimes, pick up that shovel and use that wheelbarrow before you hop on your tractor. Like all

good things, your health and your farm will improve over time.

For more tips from University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, on getting and staying healthy, sign up

for Walk Georgia, a free, Web-based fitness program designed to encourage physical activity and exercise

through accountability and community.

Walk Georgia provides free fitness tracking, research-based knowledge and resources on fitness to help

Georgians get physically active. The website enables users to track their activities and record fitness prog-

ress. Users can see how they stack up against other individuals in their county and the state. They can also

create custom group challenges.

Walk Georgia is supported in part by a grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation. For more information and

GEORGIA URBAN AG & OUTDOOR EXPO!

Georgia Grown will meet the world at Macon Cherry

Blossom Festival

Georgia Urban Ag and Outdoor Expo

Cherries aren't a major crop in Georgia (or even a minor one), but the International Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon is a very big deal. Georgia Grown will be there for the first time this year. Georgia Grown has snagged vendor space at the Mulberry Street Festival, an arts fair hosted by the Middle Georgia Art Association April 2-3. Those are the final two days of the bigger Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from March 17-April 3.
The arts festival actually predates the Cherry Blossom celebration, marking its 46th year along a two-block stretch of Macon's main street downtown. That is where Georgia Grown vendors will be offering their own unique takes on the flavors of Georgia to thousands of visitors from around the world.
The Cherry Blossom Festival began in Macon in 1982 as a celebration of spring and the flowering of some 350,000 Yoshino cherry trees that turn the town pink from mid-March to early April. The festival includes a parade, live music, food trucks, amusement rides and shows, sporting events and more.
Learn the history of the festival and find a complete schedule of events at www.cherryblossom.com.

By Arty Schronce

Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising flour 1 Tbsp. baking powder tsp. salt 2 Tbsps. sugar

Preparation:

Sift dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine egg, peanut butter and buttermilk. Mix until peanut butter is incorporated.
Heat a griddle to medium heat. Using a paper towel, rub griddle with a little oil or shortening. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop batter onto griddle.

Keep pancakes warm until ready to serve. Serve with butter and local honey or syrup.

El Nio brings sweet flowers
Don and Betty Bridges of Colquitt County saw a rare development in their sugarcane fields this winter when the cane actually bloomed. "The only cane that has bloomed in Georgia, known to us, is that at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in greenhouses," said Randall Kelley, a friend of the Bridges' who submitted this photo of Betty Bridges standing in the cane patch.
Per McCord, a USDA sugarcane breeder in Canal Point, Fla., said it is very rare for sugarcane plants to flower so far north. Day length and temperature regulate the flowering process for sugarcane, which naturally occurs in late fall and early winter.
"With rapidly shortening days and cool temperatures during the normal flowering time, flowering gets rarer as you go north (in the Northern Hemisphere; the effect is reversed south of the Equator)," McCord said.
An El Nio warming pattern in the Pacific Basin created a warmer winter for much of the U.S. The warmer temperatures in turn led to earlier and heavier blooming of sugarcane in Canal Point, about two hours north of Miami, McCord said. Therefore, El Nio is likely the reason that the Bridges were treated to such a rare site in their Moultrie area cane fields, as well.

Value Added Producer Grant Program

USDA Rural Development, The University of Georgia's Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, and The Center of Innovation for Agribusiness are hosting a free workshop for farmers and ranchers interested in diversifying their operations with value-added products. The workshop will offer tips and advice on applying for the USDA's Value Added Producer Grant Program, which provides financial assistance for use in developing and marketing new value-added product lines.
The workshop will begin at 10 a.m. March 31 at the Georgia Farm Bureau's headquarters in Macon. Speakers from the USDA and UGA will present an overview of the program and requirements to apply, and successful grant writers will offer tips for submitting an application.
The VAPG helps agricultural producers diversify their farm operations by developing new food products from their crops and livestock. Several successful Georgia Grown members have used the grant to develop new product lines such as cooking oils and condiments. Generating new products, creating and expanding marketing opportunities, and increasing producer income are the goals of the program.
Applications are accepted from independent producers, farmer or rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups and producer-owned business ventures, including non-profit organizations.

Priority may be given to beginning farmers or ranchers, socially-disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, small or medium-sized farms or ranches structured as family farms, farmer or rancher cooperatives, or proposed mid-tier value chains.
Grants are awarded through a national competition. Each fiscal year, applications are requested through a notice published in the Federal Register and through an announcement posted on Grants.gov.
Two types of grants are available: Planning grants of up to $75,000 can be
used to develop feasibility studies, business plans, marketing plans and legal evaluations.
Working capital grants of up to $250,000 can be used to purchase inventory, office equipment and supplies; pay salaries, utilities and office rent; cover legal and accounting costs; conduct marketing campaigns; and develop branding and packaging materials. The workshop is free to attend and walk-ins are welcome but seated is limited. RSVP to: Al Burns, renewable energy coordinator for USDA, by phone at 229.382.0273, ext. 109, or email al.burns@ga.usda.gov; Kent Wolfe, director of the Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, 706.542.0752 or kwolfe@uga.edu; or Sarah Cook, project manager for the Center of Innovation for Agribusiness, 229.391.6882 or scook@georgia.org.

Farm-to-Table: Creating a new normal

used to eating healthy and teaching them to recognize the Georgia Grown brand name as the sign of fresh local foods is the purpose of the Feed My School program, said Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black.
"I want your kindergartner, your first grader, to have an early buy in to that product," he said. "We can change their whole mindset toward food."
In addition to encouraging healthier choices which will lead to healthier lives, Feed My School is making a "brand impression" by familiarizing children with the Georgia Grown logo. That will pay long-term dividends for Georgia agriculture by ensuring a sustainable customer base.
"This effort is about changing normal, creating a new normal," Black said.
The Department of Agriculture is actively working with the Georgia Department of Education to increase the presence of Georgia Grown foods in school meals with its "2020 Vision for School Nutrition." The intent of the program is to have at least 20 percent of every meal served in every public school in Georgia comprised of Georgia products by the start of the 2020 school year. In addition, 20 percent of Georgia public schools are being challenged to reach the 50 percent mark with their menu content.
A vision team representing various stakeholders in the plan is steering its course. The team includes: suppliers, growers, students, parents, education and school nutrition leaders, government officials, concerned citizens and community leaders from throughout the state.
So far, the concept has won unanimous support in all quar-

ters, Black said. "This is the first time in my career I've ever seen something
everybody's for," he said. Learn more about the Georgia Grown program, including
vendors and where to buy their goods, at GeorgiaGrown.com. Also on that site is a link to the Feed My School website and information on how to nominate your school.

ceived the Barbara Petit Pollinator Award, which is given for advancing organics throughout communities, food industries, churches, public and government agencies, schools and other institutions. Croom began working for Georgia Organics as a volunteer and was later hired to direct the organization's Farm to School initiative, the first in the state.
"The day Erin Croom walked into the Georgia Organics office was the day farm-to-school started in Georgia," stated Alice Rolls, executive director of Georgia Organics.
The award's namesake, Barbara Petit, was the president of Georgia Organics from 2003-2009. This year's 19th Annual Georgia Organics Conference was dedicated to Petit, who died in 2015.
Both awards were presented Feb. 27 at the pinnacle event of the Georgia Organics Conference, the Farmers' Feast. A sumptuous repast prepared and orchestrated by some of the state's best chefs, the dinner featured organically raised meats and produce from farms and ranches throughout the Southeast.
