Farmer prosperity is one of our top priorities at Georgia Organics, and one of the ways we work to support farmer prosperity in Georgia is by providing educational and networking opportunities to growers, as well as helpful farm supplies that support organic growing practices at our Farmer Field Days. The Business Development and On-Farm Solar Solutions Farmer Field Day that our Farmers Services and Community Collaborations teams cohosted on November 13 at Berry Family Farms in Ludowici, GA (pronounced “Loo’duh-wee’-see”) was one such event — and we had a field day! It was so splendidly satisfying and successful; it made our hay and we want to tell you all about it.
Representatives of 15 farms from Southeast Georgia were in attendance, many of whom also participate in our Family Farm Share Program and/or our Climate Smart Farmer Program, including our farm hosts, Berry Family Farms. Father-son duo, Mr. Aubrey Berry and Mr. Cedric Berry led the group on a tour of their fourth-generation, family-owned and operated farm, where they raise cattle and grow hay and diversified produce on their land in Tattnall and Long Counties.
