By Kayla Williams

Kayla Williams is a Farmer Services Coordinator at Georgia Organics.

On February 17, the Good Food for Thought and Farmer Services team brought together many key players in the cooperative food world of Georgia. Eric Simpson of the West Georgia Farmers’ Cooperative, Terence Courtney of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, Matthew Epperson of the Georgia Cooperative Development Center and Ahzjah Simons of the Sevananda Natural Foods Market presented on their respective works and then held a fruitful conversation about all things cooperatives from federal policies that support (and don’t support) cooperatives, how individuals can support cooperative businesses and the ways in which community is centered in the cooperative models’ by laws. Luckily, this webinar was recorded and available for you to watch!
