HAPPY 2016 AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN COMMUNITY!
With the new year often comes a renewed commitment to health and well being. Your support of Augusta Locally Grown multiplies that commitment many fold. By keeping your food dollars IN the community you’re building a healthier local economy. By eating food grown cleanly, you’re building healthier soil, water and air. By teaching others to grow and cook whole, fresh ingredients, you’re rekindling invaluable wisdoms. The best part: the relations we forge as we work together. So here’s to another year of teamwork, of building, of getting it done … all in the spirit of YUM!
