Feed Fannin has spent the past 10 years growing in Fannin County, GA, supplying fresh, locally grown produce to the Family Connection Food Pantry in Blue Ridge, GA. We wanted to take a look back at the impact that we have made.
Barbara founded Feed Fannin to bring the community together to help others by providing them with the means to grow their own food.
The Feed Fannin Education Committee held two very successful classes in August and early September, continuing the Feed Fannin mission to inform, educate and train members of the public who want to learn to be more self-sufficient in growing, preserving and preparing their own food.
They say that adversity makes you stronger because it makes you adapt and find what you are capable of doing. If this is true, then I would say that gardening this year has taught us a few lessons.
If the Ada Street Farm is the heart of Feed Fannin, then our volunteers are its soul. Feed Fannin began eight years ago with one simple vision—to grow vegetables to help feed the hungry in Fannin County.
An important part of Feed Fannin’s work is to provide information, education, and training to those who want to learn to be more self-sufficient in growing, preserving, and preparing their own food.
“Feed Fannin is the largest single contributor to the Family Connection Food Pantry in terms of money and volunteers,” says Family Connection Executive Director Sherry Morris.
For Feed Fannin volunteers, the garden is the heart and soul of our organization. In 2009, when Barbara Ferer had a vision of Feed Fannin, she gathered some friends, they found some land and they started to grow food to feed the hungry.
Educating and encouraging our community towards self-sufficiency while providing food for those in need.

through generous support from the George Link Jr. Charitable Trust.
