The Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program creates affordable access to fruits and vegetables by partnering with fresh food and healthcare providers to write healthy eating prescriptions for families with diet-related illnesses.

PeachFest 2018

Date: Sunday, July 29th

Time: 4 pm

About: The second annual PeachFest (www.peachfest.org) celebration will open its doors Sunday, July 29 from 4-7 p.m. for general admission (3 p.m. for VIP guests). FlatironCity (Fairlie-Poplar) will once again host 65 food artisans, pastry chefs, and barkeeps all collaborating around a food or beverage offering based on peaches to bring culinary innovation for nearly 1,000 attendees. With a booming peach season and an extraordinary list of participating chefs, the festival is determined to raise awareness for Piggy Bank, a start-up farm in Missouri devoted to supporting new family farms and providing aid to those facing disaster (fire, flood and disease), and causes dedicated to growing interest in young farmers to take up the art of growing food. With the average age of a U.S. farmer approaching 60, we are launching a “Grow a Farmer” initiative that will help young aspiring agrarians find apprenticeships and opportunities. In an effort to bring education to the forefront our friends Judd Foster of South of Heaven BBQ alongside Steven Lingenfelter will present an edible discussion and side by side breed tasting of heritage breed pigs on the culinary stage with farmers Jon Jackson of Comfort Farms (Mulefoot), Charlotte Swancy of Riverview Farms (Berkshire), and Marc Mousseau of Hamthropolgy (Ossabaw) followed by a butcher demo with Rusty Bowers of Pine Street Market. The festival boasts an impressive roster of top local chefs. The cost of attendance is $60 for General Admission and $100 for VIPs. With each ticket, attendees enjoy ethically and responsibly sourced peach-inspired dishes with a variety of beverages from local craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries, all created by some of Georgia’s most forward thinking food and drink leaders.
