A Love Letter to Our Restaurants…
On behalf of Georgia Organics, we want to urge our eaters and farmers to rally around our restaurant community in this critical time when they need it most.
Almost all of us have special memories with our loved ones at a restaurant. Folks that work in restaurants have dedicated so much of their lives to hospitality because they’re passionate about making sure that we can create these memories.
From our perspective, restaurants have constantly been pillars of vital support for the farming community. It’s a special, dynamic, and creative relationship – the chef and the farmer – one that we have loved watching and championing through our Farm to Restaurant Program, and we’re incredibly committed to supporting the wellbeing of both in this time of economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The dedication of chefs and restaurant teams to giving us unforgettable experiences is unfailing and thorough. Through delicious dishes made with ingredients grown in our community, through soft lighting and thoughtfully selected chairs, through stiff drinks and stellar wine lists, through consistent smiles, through donating their (very little) extra time to promote our good food community, through spending their money (even with tight margins) with our farmers – cooks, bartenders, servers, dishwashers, general managers have our backs.
Now it’s time we have theirs.
We don’t know what the future of the restaurant holds in the coming years, but we do know there are choices we can act on now. Here are a few of the many ways to help...
