Southern Soil celebrates the local sustainable food systems of Southeast Georgia. In this issue, we cover the topic of farm-raised turkeys with Jon Jackson of Comfort Farms, find out more about locally farmed flowers at WilMor Farms in Metter, uncover family food traditions with our editor LeeAnna Tatum, get the scoop on sweet potatoes from Sheila Moon in Community Garden, make a connection with milkweeds and monarchs in our Native Plant Highlight and get the latest Some Kinda Good recipe for fall! With sincere condolences to her friends and family, we dedicate this issue to the memory of Karen Smith of Southern Native Plantings at Longwood Plantation.
