A hundred years ago most of Buckhead was farmland. 50 years ago, Sandy Springs was pastoral. Now few farms are within 30 miles of Atlanta. So where does your food come from?
Working to enhance local, sustainable food, Georgia Organics has been a leading advocate in the state for community based agriculture for over three decades. Through education and partnerships, Georgia Organics has raised the profile of sustainable food systems, encouraged CSA’s, and promoted locally grown foods throughout Georgia.
As spring harvest progresses, Georgia Organics will be hosting This Is Market: Lettuce Turnip the Beet, a fundraising dinner featuring Miller Union’s Steven Satterfield, and a host of emerging chefs from the Atlanta area, located at the SweetWater Brewery.
The event will feature locally sourced foods, prepared by aforementioned rock star chef, beer, wine, and tunes. .
So what are you waiting for? The tickets probably cost less than you would usually spend on this fare, and it’s helping out one of GA’s best food oriented non-profits.
