The Chattooga County Young Farmers Association is launching its first Farm Stand Card program during the months of May and June, giving residents a fun way to support local farmers and farm stands.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2026 Georgia Centennial Farm Program, which honors farms that have been in the same family for 100 years or more.
The Chattooga County Young Farmers are inviting the community to come out and support local agriculture at a special Farm Stand Meet & Greet on Thursday, April 16 at 7:00 PM at the Chattooga County Ag Center.
The event will bring together local farm stand owners from across the county, giving them the opportunity to showcase their products, set up displays, and even offer items for sale. Attendees will be able to meet growers, learn more about what each farm stand offers, and find out where to purchase fresh, local goods.
Organizers say the evening will begin with a brief introduction before opening up time for guests to visit with vendors, ask questions, and make connections within the community.
Farm stand owners interested in participating can sign up using the QR code provided on the event flyer. For more information, contact Lauren Jarrett at ljarrett@chattooga.k12.ga.us.
The event is open to the public and aims to strengthen connections between local producers and the community they serve.
