Augusta Locally Grown:  THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN!N

WOW. Wow wow wow wow. Not sure how, but 80+ hard-working local food activists showed up last night to help turn Augusta into a future “Food Oasis.” First we feasted on a kickin’ spread of appetizers created by Helms College culinary students and their instructor, Chef Erica Chaney, Then we settled into our seats at the historic and gorgeous facilities at Enterprise Mill, both the Cotton Room and Fat Man’s. Then we put our heads together. And dug and dug. Until ideas and networks and new friendships sprung up all over the room. Many thanks to Georgia Organics and Urban Menu for providing a strong trellis upon which we will grow this purposeful movement. Most of all, many many thanks to all of you who attended, shared and committed to this three-year OOMPH! Next steps will follow soon!
