FROM THE
EDITOR
A lot of the memories I hold dear to my heart, the most cherished ones, center around the tastes of the South. As a child, I would eagerly wait for my great-grandmother’s visits from Kentucky. I knew her visits down South to spend time with her favorite great-grandchildren, would include her famous fried apple hand pies. I would sit atop a stool at the counter and watch while my grandma Ada donned in a frilly floral apron with baking powder dancing all over her and the kitchen, as she kneaded the dough and hummed barely above a whisper. No doubt the music from her sun-wrinkled lips was one of her favorite Methodist hymnals. We could barely contain ourselves as she served up piping hot pies from her sizzling cast-iron skillet, and the occasional burnt tongue was the price we willingly paid for the flakey pastry filled with warm rich golden apples. My siblings and I looked forward to the late summer/early fall months when Grandpa would let us loose to climb the bountiful trees and harvest ripe juicy pears in his backyard. Grandpa’s expansive backyard garden always produces the richest produce and fruit, from the persimmon trees to the fences draped in vines heavy with the weight of plump grapes. Yes, Melvin Hall
was more than a gardener, he was a farmer, just reserved to his 1-acre yard, his own personal garden of Eden, his place of refuge as a veteran of war. The soil here in the South has known both wars and peace, prosperity and famine, and through it all has worked hard to feed our families generation after generation. The land continues to gift us with its bounty each season, which would not be possible without those who plant so we can enjoy the harvest. In this volume, we celebrate the farmers who nurture the soil here in Southern Georgia, the people whose sweat and tears water the lands every season. These farmers and their harvests are are a gift to our communities, the fresh organic produce they provide gives us a local source to share with our families, natural and unprocessed produce. U-Pick-It farms give us the opportunity to experience farm-to-table cooking while supporting our local agriculture community. In these pages, we share the history of some of the founding tastes of Southern Georgia, from the first pecan tree planted in the United States right here in Southern Georgia, to the pears that thrived here after being cultivated in 1855.

The pecan tree, a fixture in Southern agriculture, cooking, landscape, and culture, had its beginnings in St. Marys. In the low-country Coastal Georgia city at the heart of downtown, you will be greeted by the large shade-bearing Pecan Trees nestled together around a special historical marker titled, “First Pecan Trees Grown Here About 1840”, and is located in the 200 block of Weed Street, near the intersection of Ready Street, in St. Marys, Georgia. The marker reads, “Grown from pecan nuts found floating at sea by Captain Samuel F. Flood and planted by his wife, nee Rebecca
Grovenstine on Block 47. The remainder of these nuts were planted by St. Joseph Sebastian Arnow in the north half of Block 26. These first plantings produced large and heavy-bearing trees, as did their nuts and shoots in turn. Taken from St. Marys to distant points throughout southeastern states, they became famous before the Texas pecan was generally known.” Written by the Georgia Historical Commission of 1953. These trees have led to other varieties grown on farms across the Sun Belt. Today approximately 150,000 tons are grown annually in the U.S., worth millions of dollars.
Ganas Pecan Farm
God has been great to us, and we pray for His continued protection and guidance as our farm continues to grow.
Like many Georgians, in 1936 some of my great grandparents purchased a farm to grow tobacco, corn, and cattle. The farm had pecan trees already planting and blossoming, which quickly became a yearly income source for the farm. Fast forward a generation to the 1980s, and this is when my grandfather RL (Lindy) Ganas became frustrated with the price he was receiving for pecans and decided to start selling them from a roadside stand at his house in the fall of each year. The business grew, and soon they had a loyal following all over the country. Some customers stopped by the stand on their yearly trip to the
South, while others preferred to have their pecans shipped. In the late 90’s I started to help with the harvesting process, this required hours of cleaning, cracking, bagging, and shipping of the pecans. I continued to help them until I attended college at Mississippi State University. After graduation in 2005, I returned to Waycross, Georgia, with a passion for farming and was given the opportunity to use that passion by returning to support my grandparents and my father (Rusty) in the retail sales side of the business. In 2009 I met my future wife, Nydia McDowell, and she joined me in helping run the retail market.
From that point, I purchased another farming pecan business called “The Nut House”. We combined our wholesale business with the new retail market. All while still farming pecans in several South Georgia counties. It was around 2012 when I also opened a pecan cleaning plant to clean and market pecans from my farm and many other farmers in the area. In 2017, Ganas Pecan Company moved into its present location at 1638 Plant Ave Waycross, Georgia 31503. Nydia now owns and runs the retail store offering fresh pecans, chocolate and sugar-covered pecans, candies, and high-quality fresh fruits and vegetables. The store has also started offering a wonderful selection of ready-to-eat country casserole dishes. Not only has the farm and store grown over the last few years, but our family has blossomed too, with three handsome little boys. God has been great to us, and we pray for His continued protection and guidance as our farm continues to grow.
Preserving and honoring history is important to the community and a mission that Brackish Beer Company, a local brewery in the country’s secondoldest city, St. Marys, is dedicated to. Owners Karen and Jon Preble have dedicated an entire brewing process to the history of the Pecan tree that was planted in the downtown square in 1840. The brewery which supports using locally-sourced natural ingredients from local farmers uses Ganas pecans to roast and use in their porter. The roasted and nutty flavor of Brackish Beer Company’s “Pecan Porter” brings the most Southern Georgia flavors together in a refreshing crisp beverage. Perfect all year long, but especially on a warm fall night. You can enjoy Pecan Porter by the pint or even pick up a growler fresh from the tap at the brewery’s location near the edge of Dilworth Street. Adorned with glowing string lights casting a golden celebration over the tabletops and wall of license plates from around the nation, Brackish Beer Company’s cozy microbrewery is an absolute must-visit for any craft beer enthusiast traveling in Southern Georgia. Offering visitors not only their special Pecan Porter, but also a wealth of brews ranging from pineapple sour ale to summer harvested blueberry.

Pulse 1/2 cup of pecan halves in a food processor or a blender until fine crumbs are formed. Be careful not to pulse into a nut butter, just a few pulses until they are ground up. In one of the medium bowls from step 1, mix the pecan crumbs with flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside. Pulse the remaining pecan halves into coarse crumbs– larger pieces than the ground pecans from step 3. Pour them into another medium bowl. Finally, whisk the 2 eggs until beaten in the 3rd medium bowl.
Coat each chicken strip in the flour/ground pecan mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg and let any excess drip off. Then, generously roll in the coarsely chopped pecans, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each piece over and continue baking until the outside is crisp and the centers are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Serve with a fresh chopped cucumber salad straight from the garden!

PEARS EST. 1850
SOUTHERN Georgia PEAR HISTORY
The growers in those days were getting from $3 to $7 per bushel. Growing up, my four siblings and I could hardly contain our excitement for the time of year that my grandpa would let us pick ripe, juicy pears from his backyard. My mouth would water anticipating the delicious cinnamon sliced pear halves grandpa would cook down and can for us. Just before the end of late summer and into fall each year, Grandpa Mel always made several batches of the best canned cinnamon pears I have ever tasted and so my love for Southern grown pears began. So, where did this luscious fruit originally start growing in Southern Georgia? This story takes us back through time to Liberty County...
In the early 1900s, there were hundreds of bushels of pears shipped from Liberty County every single fall to across the northern states. Most all of the older farms had pear trees growing on them and there are many still growing and blossoming today. The LeConte pear is a drama-filled chapter in the history of the botanical heritage of the LeConteWoodmanston plantation. This history was written by Mrs. Claude A. Black in 1978: “About 1855, Maj. John Eatton LeConte purchased a seedling pear tree from Thomas Hogg, a famous plant hybridizer and nurseryman in New York. This seedling was found growing in a nursery that included specimens of the sand or Chinese pear (Pyrus seratina) and the French dessert pear.” A small passage from Liberty Hyde Bailey’s Standard Cyclop-
edia of Horticulture sheds some light on Major LeConte’s motivation in purchasing the seedling. It is as follows: ‘Around 1850, the sand or Chinese pear tree was introduced into the eastern states. Although it attracted little attention, it soon hybridized with the common pear and a race of varieties was the result. Of these hybrids, only two have gained great commercial prominence, the LeConte and Kieffer.’ “The Chinese sand pear species had great vigor and produced large yields of fruit, but the quality of the fruit was unacceptably poor, coarse of texture and flat in flavor. On the other hand, French dessert pears produced fruit prized by gourmets. But the tree was lacking in vigor and low in yield. Major LeConte hoped the hybrid seedling he purchased from
would represent a fortuitous or lucky gene combination embodying the best characteristics of both parent trees. It did. “Major LeConte sent the seedling pear to his niece, Jane LeConte Harden, then widowed and living at Halifax House on her portion of Woodmanston lands in the Riceboro vicinity. About the time the seedling came into bearing, the War Between the States intervened and little attention was paid to it until 1866. Then Leander Lewis Varnedoe, ex-colonel, CSA, and one-time superintendent of Jane’s lands, picks up the story. “In an interview with Henry Grady, April 16, 1882, Varnedoe stated: ‘In 1866, when I returned from the war, the tree had grown into a handsome tree and was loaded with the most delicious fruit. When I came to Thomas County, I brought some cuttings from the tree. I planted these and those superb trees are the results.’ “The history of the Southern pear industry began with the introduction of the LeConte Pear tree into Thomasville in the early 1870s. At one time, it was conservatively stated there were at least 200,000 trees in Thomas County. Great prices were received, the growers in those days getting from $3 to $7 per bushel. The LeConte and Kieffer pear industry extended from Thomas County, Liberty County and all along South Georgia. Today, you can find several or a even a single lone tree in backyards acrosss the region.

Starting at the outside, arrange sliced pears on top of cream cheese mixture, leaving a 1-inch border. Discard the remaining liquid. Fold the uncovered dough over the pears in an overlapping fashion, leaving some of the center fruit exposed. Place formed galettes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Whisk egg in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to cover the exposed dough with a generous coating of egg. Sprinkle each galette generously with raw sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden brown.

BEHIND THE MASK WITH SOUTHEAST GEORGIA HEALTH SYSTEM
This past year, the worldwide coronavirus pandemic affected every aspect of our daily lives and the lives of those who are in our community. During the coronavirus pandemic, local health system team members on the front lines have made many sacrifices, oftentimes prioritizing their patients above their own health and safety. Our editors wanted to honor these frontline heroes in a dedicated monthly web spotlight titled “Behind the Mask”. Each healthcare team member of the month is selected by their group peers, recognized for their dedication and outstanding commitment to their patients. They are the ones who take care of our loved ones in their greatest moments of need and we could not be more thankful to have these heroes a part of our community here at Southeast Georgia Health System.
About Southeast Georgia Health System Southeast Georgia Health System is a not-for-profit health system comprised of two acute care hospitals, two long term care facilities, two comprehensive Cancer Care Centers, and multiple specialty care centers, including orthopedic and spine care, joint replacement, breast care, maternity, outpatient rehabilitation, sleep management and wound care.

JANUARY Dr. Jelisa Carroll, DO There is no denying the natural beauty of McIntosh County, Georgia. The rural region is dotted with islands, marshes, the Altamaha River and moss-draped live oaks. It’s a peaceful place, but an unlikely launching pad for an African American girl determined to be a doctor. “I was raised north of Darien in an area we called Briar Patch. Where I’m from, you don’t see many physicians who look like me,” says Jelisa Carroll, D.O. “Growing up, my teachers and advisors told me to find a different career path altogether. Being from rural McIntosh, people didn’t expect me to become a physician, but my love of science and helping others attracted me to medicine.” Dr. Carroll is a board-certified osteopathic physician practicing at Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-Camden Primary Care in St. Marys.
FEBRUARY Holly Gismonde, MPT
MARCH Officer Wesley Mitchell
Holly could not have picked a more challenging year to begin working at Southeast Georgia Health System. A physical therapist at the Outpatient Rehabilitation Care Center on the Camden Campus, she joined the team in December 2019, just three months before the hospital saw its first COVID-19 patient. Despite the obstacles of working on the front lines during a pandemic, Gismonde hit the ground running, according to her manager Jeff Zawislak, MPT. “I hired Holly because of the knowledge and professionalism she displayed in her interview. Holly brings numerous years of experience, a strong work ethic and a desire to help people. She develops a great relationship with each patient and strives to get everything she can out of them.” It didn’t take long for Zawislak to realize he had made the right decision. “I’ve received excellent feedback regarding Holly, from patients as well as other health care professionals.”
In trying times, safety can seem elusive, which makes it all the more precious. Fortunately, people like Security Officer Wesley Mitchell dedicate their careers to protecting the Southeast Georgia Health System Camden Campus. A Health System team member for the last seven and a half years, Mitchell is a consistent, compassionate presence as he protects co-workers, patients, visitors, and the facility itself. Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mitchell takes his hometown’s “Brotherly Love” motto to heart. “My impact is making everyone feel safe when I’m around. I love doing security work because I love order and fairness,” he says. Mitchell’s concern for others stands out, whether he’s at home, at work, or church. In trying times, it can be hard to feel a sense of security. Fortunately, people like Wesley Mitchell are standing by our side.
APRIL Catherine Coop, MT
MAY Stacie Conley, BSN, RN
A hospital is comprised of many departments and team members, from medical staff such as doctors, nurses and technicians to nonclinical departments, including environmental services, safety and security, and facilities. Working together, they strive to keep our community as healthy as possible on the frontlines of a global pandemic. One such team member is Catherine Coop, MT, team coordinator for Southeast Georgia Health System Camden Campus Laboratory Services. “We keep the well-oiled machine that is our lab functioning,” Coop says. “Without the lab, there is no hospital.” Throughout the pandemic and beyond, her ultimate goal is to focus on doing right by Health System patients. “If everyone did one more thing above what they thought they should do, we would all experience better, more fulfilling lives,” she says. “And that’s the attitude I strive to live by every day.”
While every department within Southeast Georgia Health System plays a vital role in serving the community, the Camden Campus Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides essential, life-saving services that proved vital during the pandemic. ICU health care providers work at the bedside of the seriously ill and often prioritize their patients above even their own health and safety. One such caregiver is Stacie Conley, BSN, R.N. A Health System team member for just over six years, Conley spent her first year at the Health System learning the basics in the Maternity Care Center. “Stacie is unstoppable when it comes to patient care,” says Norah Shusko, R.N., manager, Patient Care Services. “Stacie is a strong patient advocate and will go above and beyond to complete what needs to be done during and even after her shift. She is a dedicated role model and mentor to others.”

C H A R LT O N Experience rural Southern Georgia, with a taste of authentic, small-town charm. This central hub is an excellent getaway or forever home, complete with beautiful sights, outdoor exploration, and rich history. Get up close and personal with trains by relaxing under the Folkston Funnel, visiting the historical train museum, or even sleeping overnight in a train cart. Explore what lurks in the depths of the “Land of The Trembling Earth” at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Take a step back in time and see how the early swampers dwelled and climb to the top of Owl’s Roost to overlook the swamp prairies. Once you’ve delved into the history and swamp stories, head over to Okefenokee Adventures where you can adventure on their boat tour, kayak guides and rentals, and so much more. Photograph the over-hanging beauty and listen for the light knocks of the endangered red cockaded-woodpeckers or the calls that sound identical to the sounds of a monkey. Believe me, you will not believe what animal they really come from! The downtown is like something you would see in a small-town Hallmark movie. While you’re there, don’t forget to stop into Whistilin’ Dixie’s and shop all of the train memorabilia you could think of and pick up some of her famous Pimento Cheese. Don’t tell Dixie, but we’re going to snag that recipe from her to share with you guys in the next Southern Georgia issue!

It comes as no surprise that the heart of Waycross is the adventures that await within Okefenokee Swamp Park and Laura S. Walker State Park. For a deeper dive into the rich history rooted in this area, make a stop into the Okefenokee Heritage Center.

B
ees have long been an important part of the Earth’s ecosystem. Many native cultures recognized the contributions of these humble
insects and cultivated them. The World Honey Market, Bee Museum at the Okefenokee Swamp Park honors the long and storied relationship between humans and bees in the swamp. There’s a handful of apiculture museums across the world, but the Bee Museum in Waycross is a unique one. Decorated with honeycombshaped accents, the museum is bathed in honey-colored lighting, sure to make Winnie-the-Pooh hungry. Beekeeping tools both historic and modern are on display at the Bee Museum. Visitors can learn about how methods for collecting and processing honey and beeswax have evolved over time, as well as the biology and environmental importance of honey bees.
Learn about the sweet, storied legacy of beekeeping in the swamp!

If it's not already, turn a trip out to the farm into a family tradition where delicious memories can be made. While this is a great way to teach your little ones that food doesn't just come from the grocery store, this is a unique experience that they can continue with their own children.

MOONSHINE & WHISKEY From March 1981 to February 1990 Chris Strickland served the U.S. Army with the 48th Brigade Aviation Section Command Flight on the UH-1N (67N) and OH-58 (67V) as a Helicopter Crew Chief. This was the ignition that lit his love for flying aflame. When his time with the military had come to an end, it was no surprise to his friends and family when he combined his passions for aviation and agriculture by opening a crop-dusting business. Ducking, dodging, and maneuvering his aircraft over fields, trees, and getting as close as three feet to the ground was Chris’s daily routine for over thirty years. He has flown in the cockpit of his AT-402 turboprop crop duster over 20,000 flight hours.

Chris' old tobacco barn... in Claxton, Georgia has been in his family for generations. It was 2018, when he decided to completely repurpose the barn as a place to handcraft good ole’ moonshine and rye whiskey using an old-fashioned copper pot distillery. Two Pilots Distillery began as a mission to carry on the tradition of classic, small-batch distilling with a warm nod to pilots, U.S. military and veterans, and those who humbly appreciate the warm finish of a quality Georgia whiskey.
CHRIS STRICKLAND
CURT MCDONALD
ALL INGREDIENTS ARE NATURALLY GROWN IN GEORGIA.
Veteran Marine, Curt McDonald’s dedication to his days serving our country and fellow veterans is what brought him to partner with Chris and join Two Pilots in 2021. Curt served as a Helicopter Crew Chief from 1999 to 2004. Years later he worked as a contractor in Afghanistan where he completed missions with some of the same veteran contractors he previously served with in the Marine Corps. His allegiance to veterans and service to the country is a reflection of the level of integrity in which he operates Two Pilots Distillery.
If the vintage pin-up girls decorating the wax dipped bottles do not win you over, we assure you the flavors certainly will. The whiskey mash is created using a traditional southern recipe that includes the purest sweet water from their local aquifer. The smooth blend of the finest indigenous ingredients available results in their exceptionally palatable moonshine whiskey that sips effortlessly and delivers a mildly warm finish. You can expect a subtle sweetness accented with a charred oak finish from their rye whiskey. Grab a box of quality cigars, your group of new and old friends, and have a toast to good times with your Two Pilots whiskey neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
A whiskey barrel sits in the middle of a room. There are two chairs, one on either side, but one of them is empty and coated in dust. Two cigars, but only one of them burns as the smoke quietly rises. Two glasses of whiskey, but only one of them ever gets sipped... The second pilot of Two Pilots Distillery is a standing memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and who we will forever be indebted to. We live in comfort because of the fallen men and women who have selflessly given everything and for that, Two Pilots will honor their memory with that whiskey neat glass.
