This year, we are celebrating! For 15 years, the Georgia Mountains Farmers Network (GMFN) has been building relationships between farmers and connecting the public to local farmers through Farm Tours, Farmers Markets, and the Farm Resource Center. We wouldn’t be here without those dedicated to growing and supporting local food. That’s you!
Join us in bringing the community together to highlight farmers and local artisans, connecting with chefs who support local food, and raising money to continue GMFN programs that build a stronger community of farmers and local food supporters.
EAT
Chefs Tim and Tina Roberts of 2Dog Catering will provide a seasonal feast using all locally-sourced ingredients from 15+ different farms with vegetarian, gluten free, and sustainably-raised pork (Hopewell Farms) options. All contributing farms will be listed and acknowledged. End the evening with fresh-made paw paw marshmallows around the bonfire. Full Food Menu Coming Soon
DRINK
A variety of beverages, including hand-crafted mocktails (non alcoholic mixed drinks) and cocktails options will be curated and offered by Rosemary of Forest and Ether, including a Vegetal Gin by Old Know Bev Co. (locally distilled using local vegetables), and an Apple Brandy by Chattooga Belle Farm. Lemongrass IPA will be on draft, and estate-grown red wine available. See Full Drink Menu
SUPPORT
Enjoy the opportunity to bid on exclusive items and experiences during the silent auction. Your ticket includes a GMFN Membership and helps sponsor farmers to attend and enjoy their own food in a special way. We'll also highlight the many farmers who contributed to the evening and share about where we’ve come and where we are going as an organization.
