Heritage Farm Georgia
As a certified organic farm in southeast Georgia (the country, not the state), we sell organic produce from our farm and other certified farms. We have been experimenting with organic farming and sharing results with other farmers since 1990.
For the health of people and our environment, we are committed to increasing the production and availability of organically grown produce.
As organic growers, we have gained new respect for the beauty and complexity of the natural system of growing. New doors of discovery are always opening. Growing organically is a very rewarding experience.
Being the first farm in Georgia to be certified organic, Heritage has been and continues to be a leader in the field. The first certified organic peanuts were grown here in ’04. In ’06 our farmer was named “Land Steward of the Year”, an award given by Georgia Organics Inc. for outstanding contributions to the health of the land and people of Georgia. Our farmer’s portrait was presented to State Commissioner for Agriculture, Gary Black, to be hung in his office in the State Building, representing the first certified organic farm in Georgia.
Heritage has been involved in experimental grant work dealing with organic no-till, weed control, farmscaping, etc. Area farmers were invited to attend field-days to learn about the processes and results.
