Programs
Georgia Mountains Farmers Network is building community around local food
through three core programs:
Get Involved
Local Farmer Networking and Potlucks
Farm Supplies, Materials, and Tools
Marketing for Farmers
Farm Services and Partners
Small Farm Systems, Planning, and Design
Records, Legal, and Accounting for Farm Businesses
We host farmers markets that connect the public with local food from dozens of small farms within 80 miles committed to chemical-free growing practices. This program provides a comprehensive weekly list of available locally grown and crafted products with prices, quantities, and farm contact information. This resource stays up to date all year long and we partner with farmers to make it happen, helping them focus more on farming! Learn more
What makes Georgia Mountains Farm Tours special, are the kinds of farms we select for tours. Small, working farms with limited time and manpower. Many are found at local farmers markets, which we encourage everyone to support. We also do our best to select farms who grow food without synthetic chemicals. We feel this is difficult to find 'round here, but an important practice for so many reasons including healthier people and clean water. Our main goals are to: Help local residents learn who, why, when, and where local food comes from, Connect folks with those currently producing food in your community, and Provide authentic experiences on working farms with sustainable practices.
