At Georgia Organics, we’re investing in our future from the ground up, and we need your support! Our goal is to raise $150,000 for our From the Ground Up! 25th Anniversary Campaign by the end of 2022.
Luckily, our good friends at Café Campesino have stepped in to help! Throughout November and December, when you buy a pound of Georgia Organics Special Blend Medium Roast Coffee, Café Campesino will donate 10 percent plus a quarter of your online purchase ($1.85) per bag directly to Georgia Organics to support this goal.
The best part? Café Campesino sources beans directly from soil-focused farmers and roasts them locally in Americus, Georgia. I guess you could say that when you purchase our Georgia Organics Blend from Café Campesino, you’re investing in our future... from the GROUNDS up!
Here at Georgia Organics, we love coffee. Okay, it may not be the unanimous #1 beverage of all of our staff, but collectively, it’s at the very top. Especially this year.
It’s our 25th Anniversary, and we’ve been busy celebrating and planning what’s next in our organization’s journey. It’s safe to say, our cups have been fueling some really vital work.
After a two-year hiatus, this year, we dove into hosting in-person events and convenings again. We held a 25th Anniversary Roast & Toast, granting awards to some incredible land stewards in our community. We hosted several Farmer Field Days and launched two new programs, including our pilot Family Farm Share in Waycross and our Farmer Apprenticeship Program (now accepting applications!). We just announced the return of our annual Conference & Expo taking place in February in Perry.
Furthermore, we’ve been thinking long-term. We mapped out and released our brand-new strategic plan designed to increase farmer prosperity and community collaboration while centering racial equity and climate solutions in agriculture.
But here at year’s end, our work is not done. As a matter of fact, movement-building is marathon work, and we’re just hitting our stride. We’re building the resources we need to fulfill the ambitious goals outlined in our strategic plan. So, let’s pour another cup!
Want to deepen your impact? You can contribute to Georgia Organics directly with a gift to the 25th Anniversary Campaign. Make a donation and track the progress toward our goal at georgiaorganics.org/donate.
By supporting Georgia Organics, you are investing in solutions to climate change, food access, and most importantly, the unique and varied challenges faced by organic farmers on the ground and at the forefront of our local food movement.
Cheers to the next 25! May they bring us closer to our vision that all Georgia farmers nurture and heal the land, people and communities.
