The Language of Food
at
South Georgia Growing Local 2017, January 21, 2017 in Valdosta, Georgia:

decisions about what to eat and how to spend your money.Wouldn’t it be nice to understand what exactly you are putting in

products and getting them sold is foreign to most consumers but you
can change that. You can learn the language of food.This introductory class will cover basic food production,
