Georgia Organics

Georgia Organics works to integrate healthy, sustainable, and locally grown food into the lives of all Georgians.

We believe food systems should be community-based, not commodity based.

Executive Director Alice Rolls 

 

An outgrowth of a grower’s association established in the 1970s, Georgia Organics is a member-supported not-for-profit organization devoted to promoting sustainable foods and local farms in Georgia.

A sustainable local food system is critical to the future of Georgia's health, environment, and economy.

Recognizing this vital need, Georgia Organics builds supply through comprehensive grower education and outreach programs, and catalyzes demand on the consumer and business end by fostering market opportunities for local food.

Our core programs include growing more sustainable and organic growers through education, resources, and marketing support; implementing farm to school programs in schools and school districts statewide; and advocating for policies that increase the supply and consumption of locally grown food in all Georgia communities.

The Georgia Organics community has 1,200 members, an annual conference that attracts, 1,100 strong, and a robust communication network that reaches 11,000 people and businesses quarterly, through print and electronic communications.
