We are a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the celebration, promotion and preservation of the authentic food culture of the Georgia Mountains. We are an organization of farmers, producers, vintners, inquisitive eaters, good cooks, culinary historians, chefs, food journalists, restaurateurs, culinary tourists, artisans and manufacturers.

Our alliance encompasses a field to table spectrum from agriculture to fine dining, with emphasis on all the specialty foods, farm markets, diners and hands-on restaurants in between that are so dear to the hearts of southerners who love fresh and local food.

The Georgia Mountains Foodways Alliance is dedicated to the development and promotion of the local food culture and small businesses from field to table. The Alliance identifies and nurtures Georgia's varied community culinary heritages through education, networking, public relations, regional cooperation and the sponsoring and promotion of local food and local wine events.
