National and state conferences and meetings

Farms hold a central role in the heritage of our state, having formed the economic, cultural, and family foundation for generations of Georgians. Each year, farms continuously operating for over 100 years are recognized by the Georgia Centennial Farm Program. This year 20 farms will receive Centennial Family Farm Awards which recognize farms owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more that are not listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The 2010 Georgia Centennial Farm Awards will be held on Friday, October 8 at the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia. The ceremony will begin with a luncheon followed by the awards presentation. If you are interested in attending the luncheon, please contact Donna Rocker of the Georgia Farm Bureau at 800-342-1192. The cost of the luncheon is $15.
Visit our website for more information about the Centennial Farm Awards program.
