The first guidebook of its kind for the Peach State,
Farm Fresh
Georgia leads food lovers, families, locals, and tourists on a
lively tour of almost 400 farms and farm-related attractions, all
open to the public and visited by travel writer Jodi Helmer. Here
are irresistible opportunities to find farmers' markets, dine at a
farm-to-table restaurant known for its chicken and waffles, buzz by
an apiary, stay at an Arabian horse ranch and bed and breakfast,
and visit an urban farm in Atlanta where kids build entrepreneurial
skills.
Organized by six state regions (Atlanta Metro, Upper Coastal Plain,
Lower Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Appalachian, and Blue Ridge) and
nine categories of attractions, the listings connect readers with
Georgia's farms and reflect agritourism trends burgeoning in the
South and the nation. Highlighting establishments that are
independent and active in public education and sustainability, the
book taps local food initiatives and celebrates the work of local
farmers. Thirteen recipes gathered directly from farmers and chefs
offer the farm-fresh tastes of Georgia.
