Our partner, Georgia Organics is embarking on a $150,000 goal for their 25th anniversary campaign. The campaign's theme is from the ground up, which resonates with me as a Farmer. Taking care of the soil and land is paramount to growing food, healing the earth, increasing food access, and sustaining biodiversity and farmers. ⁠ ⁠ A donation to this campaign will support Georgia Organics's work to support farmers and farming enterprises directly. Georgia Organics has supported me as a Farm Member, and I'm honored to be on the board to expand the offering to Farmers in Georgia. ⁠ ⁠ Please join me in helping Georgia Organics reach its 25th Anniversary goal of $150,000. No amount is too small or too large. Be as generous as possible, and let's support the Farmers of Georgia!⁠ ⁠ Donation Link for GA Organics can be found in our link in bio! 💚
