\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nYou can like the\r\n\r\nfacebook page<\/a>\r\nand join events there\r\n\r\nfor the conference itself<\/a> on January 25th\r\nand for\r\n\r\nthe farm tours<\/a> on January 24th.\r\nAgritourism has come to Lowndes County!\r\nThis is one reason a wide variety of organizations, including two Chambers of Commerce, are supporting this conference:\r\nit will fill hotel rooms.\r\nEven more, it’s about longterm local economy through growing and buying food right here in south Georgia and north Florida.\r\nAll that and it tastes good, too!\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n26 January 2013 in Reidsville<\/a>\r\n260 people signed up.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n14 January 2012 in Reidsville<\/a> about 150 people attended.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n13 November 2010 in Tifton<\/a>\r\nabout 50 people attended.\r\n

\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to\r\n\r\nfounders Janisse Ray and Leanne Culbreath<\/a>,\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nwho realized that if anybody was going to do a conference about\r\ngrowing food in our local ecologies in the piney woods and pocosin swamps\r\nhere below the gnat line in south Georgia (and north Florida and South Carolina and Alabama), it would have to be people who live here.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nThe conference chair for 2014 in Lowndes County is\r\nGretchen Quarterman and a committee of old hands and new helpers.\r\n<\/P>\r\n
