Editor's Note: Rumors of our demise are greatly exaggerated

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Several times in recent weeks I've been asked if the Georgia Department of Agriculture is still publishing the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin. Many who've asked did so with a note of mourning in their voices. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel a small measure of pride on behalf of the entire Market Bulletin team to learn that any-

one would be sad to see us go.

Atlanta restaurant community, Georgia farmers join forces to feed unemployed hospitality workers

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Unlike most catastrophes, the COVID-19 pandemic has touched nearly every life on earth and visited need upon multitudes beyond the scope of other man-made or natural disasters.
How does one begin to help when the need is so vast?
Atlanta restaurateur Michael Lennox started with his own. When Georgia shut down in March to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, Lennox the founder of Electric Hospitality Group started Atlanta Family Meal to help thousands of hospitality workers who lost their jobs.
"Atlanta Family Meal is a community of chefs, restaurants, suppliers, community stakeholders and hospitality workers collaborating to effectively feed the devastated Atlanta restaurant community," Lennox said. "We realized early on that we couldn't wait. There wasn't a safety net for our industry, so we mobilized to help ourselves family helping family."
Restaurants notify Atlanta Family Meal when workers are laid off, and the organization delivers free meals to those who opt for the service. The organization a nonprofit

that operates on donations pays independent restaurants to prepare the meals. Many meals are made with produce and protein acquired from Georgia farmers. Other food items come from restaurant suppliers who've seen a significant decline in business due to

COVID-19. Despite the turmoil in their own markets
just as the spring harvest season was beginning, Baker Farms of Norman Park donated nearly 2,000 pounds of fresh produce such as broccoli and kale to Atlanta Family Meal

According to the website atlfamilymeal.org, the U.S. restaurant industry is experiencing 80 percent unemployment, with 9.6 million of the industry's 12 million workers idle. There are more than 500,000 hospitality workers in Georgia, according to the website, and two-thirds of those live in Metro Atlanta.
in its early days. Heath Wetherington said the decision to
donate was easy, in part because American farmers have "an uncanny ability to overproduce," but also because it was an opportunity to thank workers who don't often get the gratitude.
"We are all so quick to give a nod to the chef when we go to a restaurant and have a great meal," he said. "A lot of times we take for granted the person folding the napkins, sweeping the floor, all the work that goes into a dining experience. Any time you can say thanks to those folks doing that kind of work, day in and day out, they never get any of the credit."
Baker Farms is in production year-

Federal agencies invite discussion of foreign trade policy impact on produce growers

Washington, DC The Office of the United States Trade Representative, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Commerce will convene virtual hearings next month to discuss foreign trade policies that may be harming American growers of seasonal and perishable produce. At the hearings, officials from the federal agencies will hear from interested persons on how the federal government can support producers and redress any harm. The hearings, which were originally scheduled to take place in Florida and Georgia in April, will take place virtually due to the ongoing pandemic caused by COVID-19.
USTR will continue to evaluate additional opportunities to engage directly with stakeholders in Florida, Georgia and elsewhere on this important issue.
The virtual hearings are scheduled for the following dates: August 13, 2020 at 9:00 am EDT August 20, 2020 at 9:00 am EDT
All parties who would like to provide testimony during either hearing must submit a request to do so by July 27, 2020, 11:59 pm EST.
All parties who wish to testify also must submit the statement

they intend to present at the hearing by Aug. 3, 2020, 11:59 pm EST. Remarks at the hearing will be limited to five minutes, and might be further limited if circumstances warrant, to allow adequate time for questions from the panel.
This applies to those who submitted a request in March to participate in the April hearings. If you submitted a request to testify in March but do not want to testify virtually at an August hearing, you do not need to take any further action.
You do not have to resubmit written statements submitted in March. You can update or supplement a prior submission. Interested parties who do not want to testify virtually at either hearing may still submit written comments for consideration by the Aug. 3 deadline.
Instructions for submitting a request to testify virtually and to submit written testimony can be found online at https://ustr.gov/ sites/default/files/files/Press/Releases/Hearings%20on%20Seasonable%20and%20Perishable%20Produce.pdf.
The hearings will be made public and viewable online, and further details about viewing the hearings will be provided ahead of the hearing dates. Full transcripts of the hearings will also be posted online after the hearings.

Good to Grow: Seasoned gardener advises newbies to do research, start small

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov

In Mike and Cindy Lloyd's garden in Ball Ground, there is a lot more growing than produce and flowers. As master gardeners, they enjoy sharing the bounty of their garden and their experience in growing things.
"I was talking with another Master Gardener about some garlic he had a named variety that I wanted and I told him I would buy it," Mike said. "He said, `No, no, no. You trade some of your honey for my bulbs, and we'll be even.' It's a good thing, and I just love to share."
Master Gardeners Extension Volunteers are trained volunteers with the University of Georgia Extension Service who share a love of plants and gardens. The Master Gardeners' primary goal is to assist UGA Extension in providing unbiased horticultural information through public service.
The Lloyds have about two acres to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers at their home. Mike said they have the usual stuff peppers, tomatoes, corn, beans and squash.
"We keep honeybees here, too. We have the pollinators, and we have lots of fruit trees peaches, pears and apples and we have blackberries, blueberries, strawberries," Mike said. "Not all of them are perfect and well kept, but I think we are fairly successful in getting crops out of most of it."
They also have many types of flowers growing all around their house and garden. Mike said they have over 100 varieties of daylilies that provide a great show of blooms every spring. Cindy also tends flowers in the vegetable garden to attract pollinators where she grows zinnias, gardenias and all kinds of herbs.
Mike explained that he discovered gardening while a graduate student at Perdue University, where he met Cindy. A friend who grew up on a farm in Ohio taught him the

Mike Lloyd and his wife, Cindy, have lived in several states for work. Mike said they've always kept a garden and learned something different at each stop. They credit Cherokee County Master Gardeners and the UGA Extension Office for helping them grow in Georgia. (Special Photo)

Fun fact: The Lloyds grow 20 different varieties of peppers from seed. Mike
pickles his peppers, names them "Miguel's
Jalapeos," and enters them in local
tasting competitions. "We've won some
awards, but it's just for fun," he said.
basics. "I've just done it ever since," he said. "It's a lifetime experience and a learning experience all along the way."
The Lloyds have lived in several states for work including Virginia, North Carolina and Arkansas and at each home, they had a garden. Mike said they learned something different in each state.
"To me, Georgia is humid and hot, and as a result, you have a lot more disease pressure and a lot more insect pressure than we got from Arkansas, where it's a bit drier," he said. "We had peaches there and didn't have a problem raising them, but here it's a challenge to keep them going and get a good product out of the orchard."
The Lloyds are always happy to provide insight into gardening. Mike advises a little bit of research goes a long way in trying new crops. He credits Georgia's Master Gardeners program and the UGA Extension Service as great resources that helped them when they moved here.
For new gardeners, Mike said smaller is better. "There are a lot of easy things to grow, and I think that is what you should start with. If you try to start too big, the weeds will take over, and it will become work," he said. "It should be fun as well as productive, so think small and grow as your hobby grows."

Georgia Grown Profile: Southern Soy makes skin care local

By Alexandra Woodford
GDA Intern
Teresa Lytle is a state-licensed esthetician who practices out of a small spa that she owns in Metter. Her focus is on clean, botanical skin care with limited ingredients that offer remarkable results.
Lytle said this was the very statement that drove her search to find a new product for her clients that improved the overall look and feel of their skin. After multiple rounds of research and development, Lytle learned that soy was the ingredient that was going to change the game for her and her clients.
She discovered that soy offered many of the benefits she was looking for on top of burning the cleanest of any other wax on the market. That's important because her debut

Southern Soy product was the "Soy Lotion Candle." The candle not only provides a gentle light and soothing fragrance but also renders skin-soothing moisture from the warm lotion created as the wick burns.
The product was greeted with such high demand and good reviews that Lytle and her husband, Robert, decided to create a separate entity for the candle to exist and expand within called Southern Soy Candle in 2013.
Since launching Southern Soy Candle, the Lytles have developed a range of candles with a variety of scents, packaging and purposes. The candles contain a small amount of skin-safe fragrance with a 100 percent cotton wick. The original line of candles comes in 10 scents, including lemongrass, sea salt and cotton blossom.
Their "Farm to Table" line of soy lotion

candles offers scents of native Georgia fruits such as blueberries and peaches.
"They provide the most comforting aroma to your room," Lytle said.
The couple has also expanded into a line of CBD lotion candles as well as a CBD lotion stick that is advertised to help with

bodily discomfort. Lytle is currently testing a CBD moisturizer that has gotten good reviews.
Georgia Grown was just forming when the Lytles joined. They were looking to be able to connect with other like-minded businesses that were home-grown, and that's what Georgia Grown was offering.
The couple feels that being in the program has provided them with many networking opportunities that entail exchanging their ideas, struggles and their efforts with a group that "shares interest in making products that provide a local connection to today's market."

round growing leafy greens and other vegetables. When the economy faltered due to COVID-19, the company fared somewhat better than others because demand on the grocery side spiked as food service demand tanked. Still, decisions about planting made months before a crop goes from field to table gave them some pause.
"In agriculture, things don't happen one week to the next. They happen one season to the next," Wetherington said. "You either tuck tail and quit what you're doing, or you go ahead with the plan already put in place maybe even three months before January."
Springer Mountain Farms, a poultry grower and processor based in Baldwin, also made room for charity in the midst of uncertainty. The company donated close to 2,000 pounds of chicken to Atlanta Family Meal, even as its own business model was changing due to COVID-19.
"We've tried to do what we could do. I wish it were more, and we're probably not done," said Dale Faunce, marketing manager for Springer Mountain Farms.
Meat processing facilities have been hit hard by the spread of novel coronavirus due to the close working quarters. To accommodate social distancing requirements, the company has adjusted its product line to include more bone-in product. Like so many things people have rediscovered in the age of COVID-19, the art of cooking with a whole chicken is just one more adaptation that might or might not stick.
"We can't produce enough of the boneless cuts, so we're trying to encourage as many as possible to select bone-in parts and whole birds," Faunce said. "We're not going to change the world. We don't have that kind of power anyway."
What will remain is the need for Atlanta Family Meal, said Karen Bremer, the director of the Georgia Restaurant Association who also sits on the board of directors for Atlanta Family Meal.
Although the economy is reopening, restaurants have reduced dine-in capacity to meet social distancing requirements, and that has reduced staffing needs. The industry is still struggling with the issue of positive tests among staff and patrons. Some restaurants opt to close for a period of deep cleaning when that happens, putting their staff out of work again.
"Technically they do not have to close," Bremer said. "There are sanitation procedures in place, but many are electing to close to do another sanitation cleaning for consumer and staff confidence. The restaurant industry has always been the wash your hands/sanitize industry. This is not new to the restaurant industry to be hypervigilant about sanitation and cleanliness."
Before March 17, the Georgia Restaurant Association represented 7,000 of the 19,000 restaurants in Georgia. Bremer estimates 20 percent of Georgia's restaurants won't survive the virus-induced downturn.
"I see a long-term need for it," Bremer said of the meal program. "Will we ever have 100 percent employment in our country? There's always going to be change in people's lives people lose their jobs, family members become ill beyond what we're going through right now."

We are living in a virtual world

COVID-19 changes the way ag knowledge is shared

By Jay Jones

Spen Oliver and his friends were looking forward to the annual FFA state convention before it was canceled in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oliver considers it to be a place where everyone shines and is recognized for their work in agriculture.
But through that disappointment and uncertainty, Oliver said the experience of having to start from scratch and hold the convention virtually in May is a lesson he will take with him for the rest of his life.
"To have the experience of looking at the situation that may not be ideal and saying, `Alright now, what do we do with it?' and having to work through that process to make sure it's the best thing that you can do, I think that's one of the most important skills anybody can have," said Oliver, a past Central Region State Vice President from Harris County High School.
Ben Lastly, executive secretary of the Georgia FFA Association, said it was essential to everybody to hold the convention. Along with recognizing accomplishments, the convention is where FFA conducts its business meeting and elects new officers.
To prepare for a virtual convention, FFA produced videos and multimedia presentations to recognize Stars Over Georgia and proficiency award winners.
"We felt like our engagement in the virtual convention was really good just from watching the analytics come in and how many people were watching the sessions live, how were they being shared and liked and retweeted," Lastly said. "We had lots

Georgia FFA adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic by holding its annual state meeting online this year. Former FFA Central Region State Vice President Spen Oliver of Harris County was one of eight outgoing state officers who delivered their farewell speeches virtually.

of feedback and engagement, so it wasn't as maybe big a deal as having 6,000 people gather in the same place live, but we felt like people were paying attention."
Cristina deRevere, Georgia 4-H public relations coordinator, said 4-H had to cancel all its spring events and redo programing for online access. 4-H also replaced its camps that would have been going this summer with online educational series from the state's six 4-H facilities. She added that 4-H had also provided activity resources on its Website to keep youth involved with learning.
"Our targets were not only the youth but also the parents to help with their children's education at home and teachers to help come

up with virtual lesson plans," she said. "The point of the Web site was to help everyone."
4-H also lost its state-wide meetings to COVID-19. The organization combined its annual State Congress and State Council meetings this month into virtual meetings called the State Achievement Series and streamed the series on the Georgia 4-H YouTube channel.
Technology has provided an opportunity to do the same things different.
"If this happened 30 years ago, before the Internet, we wouldn't have these opportunities," Lastly said.
But technology is no substitute for actual facetime.

"We learned a lot from our virtual contests, and we decided that we want to keep them in-person once this pandemic is over," deRevere said, "but it's a nice option to make sure we are inclusive to everyone in case they are unable to attend in person."
Paula Burke, Carroll County UGA Extension Agent, said the shutdown offered an opportunity expand her knowledge of existing technology, as well as use it in new ways. She was teaching Master Gardeners and Journeyman Farmers certification classes when the shutdown occurred and had to complete them online using video conferencing applications like Zoom.
Burke said her office had done video conferencing internally but had limited use of it in programming, which she said they did exclusively person-to-person prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Burke said technology gave her office the opportunity to reach more people.
"If you're in Carroll County and there's a really good program being put together by an agent on the other side of the state with the Zoom type or the recorded videos, you don't have to get in your car and travel there. You can just do it from the comfort of your home," she said. "So, it's really opened up how many more people we're able to reach because we haven't been able to meet faceto-face."
Burke dusted off presentation materials from talks she gave at conferences and meetings and turned them into webinars on topics like fire ant eradication and small ruminants. She also helps her master gardeners continue with their monthly meetings online, complete with guest speakers.

Eating virtually
Keep food safety in mind when ordering food prep kits for home delivery

By Tamsin Smith
GDA Food Safety Intern
Ordering food online maybe you love it, maybe you are a first-time user. Food companies that sell directly to consumers are on the rise. In 2014, one out of 10 Americans reported that they had bought meat, poultry, game or seafood online. Those numbers have certainly grown, especially in these times.
Direct-to-consumer food services, also known as mail-order, sell products to consumers through non-face-to-face communication and deliver direct to the consumer's house. These companies sell a variety of products, from raw meats to specialty jams. This category also covers meal kits, where customers are given pre-measured ingredients and instructions to create a meal.
While subject to the same regulatory guidelines in facility, they are distinct from ordering from restaurants or through a third-party system. In those cases, the food is usually readyto-eat and delivery is the responsibility of the business.
DTC food services can be wonderful. They allow customers to explore food or support far-away businesses. But there are some things to keep in mind before ordering. The companies often release responsibility for their products after the products leave their facilities. Packages can be subject to extreme temperature conditions in transit because they are

put in with non-perishable mail. A 2015 study found that food safety information on com-
pany websites was confusing or missing. Out of the websites surveyed, 58 percent of them did not offer any information for the safe handling, storage or cooking of their products.
If you are thinking of ordering through a DTC food delivery service, follow these steps. Check the company website for food safety informa-
tion. Often, this is found in the "Frequently Asked Questions" page. Look for information on the five components of food safety: cooking, storage, handling, thawing and temperature guidance. Find details on how your product will be packed.
Make sure that if you are ordering a perishable product that it will be packed in an insulated bag with coolants. The most effective coolant is dry ice. Make sure the delivery process is transparent. Choose to track your package, if the option is available. Schedule your delivery for a time when you know there
will be someone at your house to receive the package.
If this is not possible, look at the delivery policy. Is the delivery "signature release"? If so, that means that the package will be left at your external door without a notice to you. See if the company has a return or reimbursement
policy. If your package is damaged, you should have a

way to return it. If any of this information is missing or unclear, do not
be afraid to call the company to ask for it. When you get your package, open it immediately and
inspect it. Measure the product contents with a food thermometer. Cold products should be at a temperature of 40 degrees F or below. Was the package properly sealed? Also check for other signs of damage, such as animal droppings or leaks. If possible, note how long your package has been outside. Perishable food that has held a temperature above 40 degrees F for more than two hours is no longer safe to consume. If the product shows signs of contamination or degradation, do not consume it. Take pictures of your package, including readings from a food thermometer, if used. Share your experience with the company. Your feedback can give valuable information to future consumers and show the company if it needs to improve. Use these tips next time you use a DTC food service to keep your food safe and enjoyable. Happy ordering!
