Georgia's Food Story: The Georgia Grown Mission
Every Meal Tells a Story
Every jar of honey, every slice of bacon, every bite of peaches—these are more than just food. They are stories woven by farmers and communities that depend on agriculture. The Georgia Grown program aims to bring these narratives to the forefront, connecting consumers with their food's origins.
Georgia Grown: A Program for All
As an initiative of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Grown serves as a multifaceted platform. Its mission is twofold: to support local agribusinesses and to make it easier for Georgians to source products grown within their state.
Strengthening Local Connections
The program facilitates a direct connection between farmers, retailers, and consumers. By doing so, it encourages economic growth among small businesses while promoting fresh, high-quality locally produced goods.
