New campaign pitches peanuts to gourmands
Sustainable nature of the crop makes it enticing to socially conscious chefs

Please deliver this paid subscription to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

By Amy Carter amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
Atlanta celebrity chef Steven Satterfield is teaming up with the Southern Peanut Growers Federation to cast the legume that identifies as a nut in the role of an elegant and en-

vironmentally responsible protein choice for upscale menus.
"Making Sustainable Attainable" is the name of the marketing campaign that Satterfield and the federation launched March 22 at The Epicurean Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. Satterfield is the star of three videos pitching peanuts as a low-waste, low-impact, comparatively low-cost crop with great appeal to the environmentally conscious. That said, peanuts and peanut butter have graduated from snack bowls and school lunch boxes to serve as key ingredients in sophisticated recipes.
Satterfield features three such dishes in the videos that form the meat of the "Making Sustainable Attainable" campaign Peanut and Field Pea Salad with Lemon Ricotta, Crispy Chicken Thighs with Spicy Peanut Sauce, and Snapper in Peanut and Tomato Broth with Coconut Rice. The recipes, some of which are served at Satterfield's Miller Union restaurant in Atlanta, are taken from his 2017 book, Peanuts. A single-ingredient cookbook published by Short Stack, Peanuts is one of several such offerings written by industry leaders.
"One of my favorite seasons to cook with peanuts is in late summer, and our Green Peanut and Field Pea Salad has achieved cult status among our guests. We are fortunate to have so many local Georgia farms to choose from," Satterfield said in a press release announcing the campaign launch.
Nearly 70 percent of the U.S. peanut crop is grown in the Southeast; more than 50 per-

cent is grown in Georgia. Donald Chase grows peanuts on his Ma-
con County farm. Joining Satterfield to roll out the campaign in the culinary theater at The Epicurean, Chase said sustainability is not a new concept for peanut growers.
"In fact, Dr. George Washington Carv-
Macon County Peanut Farmer Donald Chase, right, narrates as Miller Union Chef Steven Satterfield mixes up a batch of homemade peanut butter. The pair debuted a new peanut marketing campaign targeting the culinary industry March 22 in Atlanta. (Amy Carter/GDA)

er understood this over 150 years ago when our farmers had been depleting our soils with constant cotton," Chase said.
Carver encouraged crop rotation to replenish the soil and pointed to peanuts as the ideal candidate. Chase said peanuts were being grown mostly for animal feed at the time. Carver found 103 uses for peanuts to make it more economically viable for farmers to put them in regular rotation.
"And we know today that ... in the year following a crop of peanuts, we will make a better crop of whatever it is that we grow because peanuts have been there," Chase said.
In each video, Satterfield explains what farmers already know about peanuts: Peanuts help conserve water. Chase said
40 percent of Georgia's peanut crop is not irrigated. Growers who do water their crop do so to supplement rainfall. Peanuts improve the health of the soil. Peanuts pull nitrogen from the air and fix it to their roots, fertilizing themselves and whatever crop is planted after them. Peanuts are a "zero-waste crop." Every part of the plant serves a purpose. For example, after the peanuts themselves are harvested, the vines of the plant can be left on the ground to fertilize the soil. The videos will be distributed to digital and social media platforms serving the industry, including the James Beard Foundation.
-We feature three of Chef Steven Satter-
field's peanut recipes on page 9 of this issue.

commission assessments
Earlier this year, Georgia apple producers voted to continue the Georgia Apple Commission Marketing Order for an additional three years. The new marketing order will allow the assessment rate to be changed from the current two cents per marketed bushel to a range of two to four cents per marketed bushel. The final rate will be established by the five members of the Georgia Apple Commission prior to each season and will become effective upon notification to the applicable producers.
Established by the General Assembly in 1962, the Georgia Apple Commission is one of the oldest Georgia Agriculture Commodity Commissions in the state. Funds collected by the Georgia Apple Commission are used for education, promotion, and research on topics or areas pertaining to apples. The continuation of Marketing Orders is voted on every three years.

Forestry Matters: Danger is disguised by the spring beauty of these invasive species

By Stasia Kelly
Georgia Forestry Commission
Invasive plants are all around us, but we may not notice them unless they are blooming. Now is the time to BOLO (Be On the Look-Out) for these species that crowd out native ecosystems, wreaking havoc with Georgia's plant and animal life. Surprisingly, some of these bad actors are sold at local nurseries. Many are spread by birds or moving water, making their control more difficult. That is why the Georgia Forestry Commission's forest health specialists are seeking your help in stopping the invasions.
BOLO! The following six species are commonly grown in Georgia and bloom in the spring. Please don't plant them, and if you have them on your property, consider removing them or ensure that they are kept firmly under your control to reduce the chance of spread.
For more help identifying invasive species, visit https:// gatrees.org/forest-management-conservation/forest-health/.

Callery (Bradford) Pear
Callery pear is the first to bloom of the year. You may know this better as Bradford pear and see it lining the streets of neighborhoods around you. Around the first of March, the abundant white blooms can be seen invading abandoned fields and creeping into the forest edges. Its long thorns make it difficult to manage once it is established.

(Dan Tenaglia/Missouriplants.org/Bugwood.org)

(Chuck Bargeron/University of Georgia/ Bugwood.org)

Privet
Non-native Privet is another small white flower you start to see late in the spring. While there are three species that are invasive here in Georgia, Chinese privet is the most prevalent. It grows along fence rows, forest edges, and in damp places. Its small, fragrant white flowers give way to clusters of bluish-purple berries that are easily spread by birds.

Mimosa
Mimosa's showy, bright pink, feathery flowers can be found across the state starting in May. It is often found on fence rows and field edges. The fluffy flowers give way to large seed pods in the fall that are easily spread by moving water in ditches and creeks.

(Chris Evans/University of Illinois/Bugwood.org)

(James H. Miller/USDA Forest Service/Bugwood.org)

Non-native Olives
With two main species in this group, thorny olive and autumn olive, autumn olive is the one that blooms in the spring. Small, white fragrant flowers can be found in the late spring and give way to red, round fruits in the fall that are easily spread by wildlife. It is also easy to identify by the silverish underside of the leaf. The worst infestations are found throughout central Georgia, where they form dense thickets that are almost impassable.

(Leslie J. Mehrhoff/University of Connecticut/ Bugwood.org)

(James R. Allison/Georgia Department of Natural Resources/Bugwood.org)

(Chris Evans/University of Illinois/Bugwood.org)
Non-native Wisteria
Wisteria is well known throughout the South for its climbing abilities and showy purple flowers every spring. Once planted in an area, they can form dense thickets covering shrubs and trees. While the two commonly planted varieties are Chinese and Japanese wisteria, there is a native wisteria, Wisteria frutescens, that can be planted instead that still provides the dramatic showy flowers.

Chinaberry
A large deciduous tree that blooms with showy pinkish-lavender flowers after its leaves sprout in the spring, these trees can form dense thickets and are sometimes more noticeable in the fall and winter when their smooth bark and leaves turn golden yellow. Their tannish-brown seeds persist on the tree through the winter.

Georgia Cooking: Peanut-Field Pea Salad with Lemon Ricotta

Recipe courtesy of Steven Satterfield, executive chef and co-owner of Miller Union, an award-winning, seasonally driven restaurant located in Atlanta's Westside neighborhood.
Ingredients
For the vinaigrette 1 garlic clove tsp kosher salt 2 Tbsps sherry vinegar tsp Dijon mustard Freshly ground black pepper cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the lemon ricotta Zest of 2 lemons cup lemon juice 2 tsps fine sea salt 3 cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream
For the salad 2 cups field peas, blanched in salted
water and shocked in ice water 1 cup shelled boiled peanuts 1 large ripe tomato, diced 1 sweet bell pepper, diced Kosher salt cup dry-roasted peanuts, lightly
crushed cup chopped mint
Directions Make the vinaigrette: On a cutting board, finely chop the garlic, then add the salt. Using the side of your knife, rub the garlic and salt against the cutting board until they form a paste. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, vinegar, mustard, and a few cranks of pepper. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil until emulsified. Makes 2/3 cup.
Make the ricotta: In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and let sit for 5 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the zest from the juice and discard the zest. Add the salt to the lemon juice and stir until dissolved. In a small saucepot combine the milk and cream, then add the lemon mixture. DO NOT STIR. Place the pot over mediumlow heat just until it starts to simmer, then remove the pan from the heat. Set aside until the mixture reaches room temperature, around 1 hour; by then the mixture will have separated into thick curds and liquid (whey). Makes 2 cups.
Using a ladle, gently transfer the milk mixture into a cheesecloth-lined sieve placed over a container, being careful

not to break up the curds too much. Let drain for 1 hour, then check the consistency. If the cheese drains for too long and becomes thick, simply add some of the whey from the container back to the cheese and stir well to combine to the desired consistency. Once you've achieved the consistency you like, transfer the cheese to a lidded container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Make the salad: In a small bowl, combine the field peas and boiled peanuts. Add the tomato and peppers and toss with two tablespoons of vinaigrette (store remaining vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for two weeks). Season lightly with salt and set aside.
In four shallow bowls, spread two to three tablespoons of ricotta across the center of each bowl. Evenly divide the salad among the bowls, piling it on top of the ricotta. Top each salad with some of the dry-roasted peanuts and chopped mint, dividing them among the bowls. Serve immediately.
Boiled Peanuts
Ingredients 2 lbs green peanuts in the shell, picked
over for dirt and debris 1 cups kosher salt 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Georgia Grown in Season

Cabbage Carrots Collards Kale & other
greens Lettuce Mushrooms Vidalia
onions

Spinach Strawberries Turnips

Directions In a large stockpot set over high heat, combine the peanuts, salt, vinegar and six quarts of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook for four to five hours, or until the peanuts are tender. They should not have any crispness or texture left to them but should be completely creamy. Serve hot, cold or at room temperature. Refrigerate until ready to eat, either in the cooking liquid or drained, for up to one week.
Dry-Roasted Peanuts
Ingredients 3 cups raw shelled peanuts, either
blanched or with the skin on
Directions Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and place a rack in the center position. Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheet once halfway through the cooking time, until the peanuts are lightly browned and fragrant. Store the peanuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to three weeks.

Federal, state agencies hosting
feral swine series in late spring
Feral swine have become increasingly detrimental in Georgia, causing significant damage to agricultural crops and natural resources throughout the state. The economic impact of damage caused by feral swine in Georgia is estimated at $150 million.
A group of agricultural and natural resource organizations are partnering to bring Georgia's top experts on feral swine together in a series of educational workshops for farmers and landowners. The partnering agencies will host workshops and trapping demonstration opportunities on the following date(s): May 4 at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Ea-
tonton (hosted by the Piedmont Conservation District) May 11 at the Honey Ridge Agricenter in Guyton (hosted by the Ogeechee River Conservation District) May 20 at the Toombs County Ag Center in Lyons (hosted by the Central Georgia and Ohoopee River Conservation District) May 24 at the Rabun Arena in Tiger (hosted by the Blue Ridge Mountain Conservation District) June 9 at the Billy Walker Agriculture Center in Douglas (hosted by the Altamaha Conservation District) Workshops will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end after lunch around 1 p.m. Topics will include disease issues, swine biology, economics, water quality issues, effective control techniques, transport issues, and regulations to be followed by a question-and-answer panel of experts. Each workshop will also include a feral swine trapping demonstration. Partnering agencies for this effort include the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA Wildlife Services, Georgia Association of Conservation Districts, Georgia Department of Natural Resources - Wildlife Resources Division, Georgia Department of Agriculture, and University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources. There is no cost to attend the workshops, but space is limited. Pre-registration is required. More details and registration information is available at www.GACD.us/events.

Georgia 4-H hosts free summer camps for youth in military families

Dependents of military service members are invited to apply to attend five different weeklong camping experiences at no cost, coordinated by University of Georgia Cooperative Extension's 4-H program.
These camps, summits and retreats are open to dependents of military members (currently serving in active, guard and reserve components) ages 8 to 18. Special camps are also being offered for Army dependents whose parents were mentally, emotionally or physically wounded due to service, along with Gold Star families. Camp fees, including a transportation stipend, are covered through grant funds.
"These experiences offer military dependents an opportunity to build leadership and life skills in a high-adventure environment," said Laura Goss, Georgia 4-H Military Camp coordinator. "Youths can have fun while connecting with teens to better understand their parents' military service through targeted lessons, social interactions and service-member volunteers. Youth gain independence, mastery and belonging."
UGA operates two of the summer camps through the Military Teen Adventure Camps initiative. This partnership between the Office of Military Community and Family Policy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture is funded by the Department of Defense through a cooperative grant agree-

ment with Purdue University. Additional camps are made possible by the National Military Family Association, Kansas State University, and the Army Child and Youth Program.
Georgia 4-H has coordinated military camping opportunities at locations in Georgia, Colorado and Florida since 2010. This

year all camps will occur at Georgia 4-H facilities. The following is a full list of opportunities:
Joint Extreme Summit: June 20-24 Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, Georgia Open to all service branches Ages 14-18
Outdoor Connection Retreat: June 26-28 Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega, Georgia Open to Army active-duty dependents Ages 12-14
Outdoor Military Connection Retreat: June 29- July1 Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega, Georgia Open to all service branches Ages 14-18
Operation Purple Camp: July 18-22, 2022 Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega, Georgia Open to all service branches Ages 8-13
Warrior Summit: July 10-15 Fortson 4-H Center in Hampton, Georgia Open to Army Wounded Warrior dependents and Gold Star families Ages 12-14
Camp fees, lodging, activities and on-site

meals are all covered through the available grants. Parents and/or guardians are responsible for transportation to camp and expenses for in-transit meals and on-site optional purchases. More information will be provided to selected applicants.
Those interested in participating can learn more online at the Georgia 4-H Military Partnership Camp website at georgia4h. org/militarycamps. Applicants should carefully review the application instructions and deadlines per camp type due to varying requirements.
Youth are supervised during the week by professional staff who are trained in youth development and camping protocol. Adult volunteers will aid paid camp staff and often include service members, spouses and family members. All paid and volunteer staff complete youth protections training and undergo a background investigation in accordance with UGA policies.
Military spouses, current military members and retired military members are all encouraged to apply to serve as volunteers. Volunteers play a major role at these camps as they participate in activities, supervise youth, chaperone cabins, and assist with workshops and classes.
To apply to be an adult volunteer, download an application from the GA 4-H Military Webpage volunteer page. For more information, email milcamps@uga.edu.

Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our #1 industry, agriculture! There are people who spend their whole life looking for Bigfoot. Well folks, I found him in Jones County. Sitting beside a country road in Chap Nelson's pecan orchard, somewhere between Round Oak and Gray, there sat ol' Sasquatch on his haunches admiring a butterfly on his outstretched palm. Chap and several of his closest friends got together to build this wooden monstrosity three years ago to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis. Using a telephone pole as a spine and sawmill scraps for fur, the face, hands and feet were carved with a chainsaw! Prior to COVID, they held a festival called Chaptacular in that same orchard and invited all kinds of folks to come and create works of art out of wood, using only a chainsaw. When they ran out of wood, they would auction off their masterpieces and donate the money to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis. So far, they've raised over a million dollars for the cause! I really hope for an end to COVID so we can all get together again for stuff like Chaptacular. Also, we can help put an end to cystic fibrosis, too.

Olive oil from Georgia?
Growers are earning great respect for their product worldwide

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Curtis Poling, a Georgia olive grower who operates Woodpecker Trail Farm in Glennville with his wife, Tracy, likes to tell the story of a Georgia couple vacationing in Italy looking for world-class olive oil. His point is that they didn't have to travel that far.
"They went to an olive farm, and they said, `We want to taste the best olive oil in the world.' The grower there said, `We hate to tell you, but you just came for Georgia, and they are producing quality olive oil,'" Poling said.
Stories like Poling's have become common as more Georgia-made olive oil has been bottled over the last decade. The burgeoning olive industry in the state is still small but growing. According to the Georgia Olive Growers Association, there were about 7,000 acres of olive groves in Georgia in 2021, compared to 250 acres recorded in 2014.
Poling and other growers said improved quality is part of the reason for the growth. Last year, the New York International Olive Competition awarded Woodpecker Trail Farm a silver award. The Poling's olive oil joined oils from Spain, Italy and Morocco on the organization's World's Best Olive Oils index.
Olive growers are also getting their oil certified as Extra Virgin, which denotes a higher quality product produced with minimal processing.
Still, people are surprised to learn that good olive oil comes from Georgia.
"We need to create this narrative that Georgia can produce a quality olive oil, and when people buy olive oil, it can be like saying, `I get my olive oil from Italy,' or `I get my oil olive in Spain or Morocco,'" Poling said.
Linton Hopkins, chef and founder of Hopkins and Company, said he is a firm believer in sourcing Georgia-grown food on his restaurants' menus, including H+F Burgers, The Buttery ATL, and C. Ellet's Steak House. He said he has used Georgia olive oil since trying some out from Georgia Olive Farms in Lakeland several years ago.

to the Georgia Olive Growers Association, there are about 7,000 acres
of olive groves in Georgia this year, compared to 250 acres recorded
in 2014. (Special Photo)
"What I love, it's just a really clean flavor, you know? Some olive oils take getting used to. There's just a lot of diversity out there," Hopkins said. "What I love about the Georgia olive oil is it's just clean sweet flavor, while the linoleic or linolenic acid content adds a certain bitterness to it, so it's really approachable."
Hopkins said Georgia olive oils are versatile. He can serve them with salt and chili flakes with bread for dipping or on the stove cooking main courses. He said fats and salt are two essential ingredients that every chef has in the kitchen, and Georgia olive oil is as good as other oils.
"This goes into the heart of the menus I like to write, the recipes I like to cook, and the restaurants I like to build. The places I want to go as a guest and eat are those that have a

sense of identity," Hopkins said. Vicki Hughes, executive director of the Georgia Olive
Growers Association, said the climate in Georgia matches closely to other olive-producing areas across the world. The primary olive-growing area runs south of Savannah to Cordele to Columbus, with most oil farms concentrated in south-central Georgia.
The olive cultivars that grow best in Georgia are Koroneiki from Greece and Arbequina and Arbosana from Spain. Each cultivar has unique characteristics while other factors like soil type and production methods provide subtle differences in taste that make olive oil distinctly Georgia, Hughes said.
And olives are not new to Georgia. The Spanish brought olive trees to Georgia in the middle 1500s and they were a significant crop in Georgia during the colonial period. But, olive processing was labor intensive and fell out of favor among farmers by the 1850s.
Today, the prospects are brighter for Georgia olives. Hughes said the primary challenge in the future for growers is finding a milling facility to press olives to extract the oil. Georgia Olive Farms and Terra Dolce Farms in Lyons have milling facilities. Poling said they are looking into building a facility.
Sharon Cobb Flanagan established Five Otters olive grove in Eastman in 2014. After 30 years of working in the corporate world, she returned home to do something with her farm. An article in the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin about Georgia Olive Farms in 2012 got her thinking about olives.
"I saw the picture on the front page of the grove they have, and I'm drawn to rows like that, like a vineyard," Flanagan said. "The vineyard is a very appealing look to me as far as looking at things, growing, and it's a food product. Pecan trees are, as well, but then I thought, wow, that's new, and I like to be on the forefront of new things, and I like to try to help make something advance."

Georgia growers work to make state a leading producer

By Jay Jones jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Tommie Williams said he learned a lot about olives in three years serving in Europe as a United Nations trade representative in President Trump's administration. From his farm in Lyons, Williams said he sees a lot of possibilities for growing Georgia's olive industry.
At Terra Dolce Farms, Williams has three Spanish varieties, a Greek variety and three Italian varieties to build product diversity and possibly find olives that will thrive.
"We're just trying to find the varieties that will work for Georgia. Most of us planted Arbequina, which is a Spanish variety to start off. It's cold hardy, and it does a pretty good job, but I think there's probably some olives that will work better for Georgia, and we're just doing experimenting now,

trying to find that," he said. Georgia could become the largest olive producer east of
the Mississippi River in an industry dominated by California. Williams said the high-density method of growing olives allows for the largest harvest and requires more work than allowing trees to grow larger in low-density groves.
However, he explained that the high-density method requires more pruning to promote the proper growth and coax trees to grow to a certain height for mechanical harvesters.
Williams said that in itself is a problem. Harvesting equipment is a given for other crops but is lacking for olives in Georgia. When Williams started his olive grove, he repurposed a used grape harvester from California to pick his olives.
"There's probably 10 people that have olives but don't have harvesters, and it's just hardly profitable picking them

by hand," he said. "I picked some for some people this year." Williams added the shortage of equipment might change
as large olive operations are established here in the coming years to attract manufacturers.
Another problem Williams said is that growers don't have a place to sell their oil, so they must grow, mill, store, bottle, and market their products on their own.
"For some growers, that's doable. For some, they just want a place to go take their olives to be milled and pick up a check for the oil. That's what most growers do in California, and we don't have that," Williams said.
The best solution, Williams said, is to get more farmers involved in olives to create a market for milling services.
"We really need some good farmers to take on like 20 acres, and that would lend itself to somebody putting in a mill to buying all for resale," he said.

Georgia Grown: Vendors, staff are excited to be together again in person

Continued From Page 1

At the Orlando show, the Georgia Grown pavilion will have about 25 companies sharing space at one of the largest produce trade shows in the world. Cook has 12 booths lined up for the Fancy Foods show in New York.
Cook said the feedback she's heard from Georgia Grown members attending shows has been positive. She said that along with the excitement of just getting out, new opportunities are coming from the shows after a one-to-two-year layoff.
"I think part of what is good about shows coming back again is that buyers were still buying products, but they weren't discovering new products. They were just sticking with the established relationships," Cook said. "So they are very eager to diversify their product choices. They are eager to meet new companies with new offerings. After two years of not being able to, they are very willing to go out on a limb and try somebody different or something new they haven't experienced before."
Solomon Cohen, owner of Cassava Breads in Evans, attended his first major show at Natural Products Expo West, in Anaheim through the Domestic Trade Program.
"We had great booth location and probably could not have

done it without Georgia Grown," Cohen said. "There were 60,000 people in Expo West, and the energy was incredible. To be there is to have people take you seriously. The whole industry is there, and it really makes you look legit."
Both Jones and Cohen said they had specific goals in mind in attending trade shows this year. Jones said the Products West Expo appealed to her to find a broader market out west for their products.
"We had some wholesale customers coming from that side of the country but not a lot, and it exposed us to a whole new market," she said.
Cohen said this is a pivotal year for Cassava Breads, specializing in gluten-free, grain-free, and vegan bread. They started out selling products at several farmers markets near Augusta, but Cohen said they needed to reconsider their operations when the pandemic closed the markets down.
"When those markets all shut down, or the attendance wasn't what it used to be, and the revenue wasn't what it used to be, we had to focus on our long-term goals and change things up with rebranding and getting products on store shelves," Cohen said.

Companies apply to participate in the domestic marketing program and choose which trade shows they wish to attend based on their operations and marketing goals. Cook explained the Georgia Department of Agriculture and program participants share the cost of booth space, and the program operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The selection process is also dependent upon the number of qualified applicants.
Companies accepted into the program are required to be Georgia Grown members and have products grown in Georgia. According to the program's requirements, manufacturing and fabrication of products must also be completed in Georgia.
The program is accepting applications for 2023. For more information, contact Sarah Cook at sarah.cook@agr.georgia.gov.
