Welcome back to another year of conversations in food with farmers, chefs, community activists, and other leaders around Georgia! 

The year has been and continues to challenge, but our hope with the Atlanta Foodcast is that hearing from these incredible people will bring you inspiration. These are the leaders working hard to establish an equitable, regenerative food system for all Georgians.  

On today’s episode, we’re connecting with a farmer-chef duo who participated in our Farm to Restaurant program’s Food Fight GA initiative: Chef Deborah VanTrece of Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours (www.twistedsoulcookhouseandpours.com/) and Howard Berk of Ellijay Mushrooms (ellijaymushrooms.com/). 

In our second segment, we’re talking to Nicolas Donck & Jeni Jarrard of Crystal Organic Farm (crystalorganicfarm.com/), a 27-year running certified organic farm in Newborn. They discuss how longterm business choices on the farm and the COVID-19 pandemic have evolved and established Crystal Organic Farm.    

For Gardening with Farmers this week, Nicolas is sharing his expertise on winter gardening for these cold months.  

Thank you for joining us; we encourage you to Stay Local this year and support their work. You can learn more about the Georgia Organics Stay Local campaign at georgiaorganics.org/staylocal.
