These twenty organizations are supporting local food producers and regional economies, offering educational resources and agricultural training, and working to ensure that their neighbors don’t go hungry.
Includes: @ACFB @cfmarkets @GeorgiaOrganics @givingkitchen @OpenHandAtlanta @CommonMkt @umifeeds @WholesomeWaveGA and more!
