Letter from the Editor 4
Happy New Year and welcome to our first issue of 2022! Like any new beginning, we’re excited to get into a routine while we continue bringing you the “down to earth news from your friends at the Co-op.” While this issue is filled with contributions from our regulars, we’ve added a few new additions. We’re covering everything from stories on backyard flocks and hobby farms, to information on forestry and outdoors to recipes like chocolate mousse and squirrel potpie. We’re also helping our friends at Sweet Grown Alabama highlight their members one at a time, which gives you the perfect opportunity to meet the hardworking families who provide our state with food and fiber! Over the past year, we’ve built relationships and researched topics to bring you a wider variety of information from all aspects of agriculture. Our hope is to provide quality articles that are relatable and enjoyable. We’ve also given the inside a bit of an update with fresh graphics and headers. This publication is a team effort, and we are thankful that you’re a part of that team – we couldn’t do it without you! Thank you for being a loyal reader, customer and part of the AFC family.
