About this listen
The source material announces that the Augusta-Richmond County Commission will officially declare August as Agriculture Month in Augusta, Georgia, starting in 2025.
This initiative, coordinated by Growing Augusta: Arts, Agriculture & Agency, aims to celebrate and promote local agriculture.
A key highlight of the inaugural month will be the recognition of Loretta and Samuel Adderson as "Legacy Farmers" for their decades of contributions to farming, nutritional education, and land stewardship.
The Addersons, founders of Adderson’s Historic Black Farm, expressed their gratitude and commitment to sustainable agriculture.
The month's events will include farmers market spotlights, school garden tours, and youth grower programs, all designed to foster appreciation for the region's agricultural heritage and future.
