Valdosta Locally Grown

Local food for local jobs! According to their facebook page,
Valdosta Locally Grown is an online farmers market being formed to bring consumers together with small farms, gardeners, and food producers located around Valdosta , Georgia, all carrying the common thread of dedication to community, environment, health and education. We hope to be operating by the early spring harvest season.
They are working on a website. Their primary instigator is Tom Kuettner, whom you can see here at the Hahira Farmers Market:

It’s like the VDT said 12 July 2010 in What We Think: Thankful for our farmers:

Here in South Georgia, we are blessed with an abundance of farmer’s markets, both large and small, that enable us all to have access to fresh fruits and vegetables at low prices. Families, restaurants and schools all benefit from the local farms and markets year round, not just during the summer months.
Beyond the parking lot, now let’s also use the Internet to help distribute local food.
