Our story starts in Georgia. Somewhere between the moss draped oaks, the red dirt roads, and the steep Appalachian hillsides sprouted an idea. That idea grew into ABG.

We’d love for you to join us. There’s always room for one more. https://t.co/lm0Hje5lCO

Former US President and Georgia governor Jimmy Carter has died as his home in Plains at 100. A boy raised in a small town in Southwest Georgia grew up to be a man who made an incredible impact on the world.

@BiscuitsGA That yellow needs to be smaller. I know...they tried, tested in some of those areas. The soil has to be perfect and it wasn't

This is some of that 1980s Peach Bowl weather.

If an onion isn’t yellow and isn’t grown in the region highlighted in yellow, it’s probably inedible. And calling such an onion a “Vidalia” is a federal offense.

@prosehaikus That’s an excellent way to describe it.

A little taste of Southern small town Americana. For decades, this stone castle-like structure has guarded the namesakes of Cave Spring, Georgia, the limestone cave and artesian spring.

Hey! Y’all listen up! Three words: 1. Pecan 2. Fried 3. Pie. Yes, the pecan fried pie Blossom Hill BBQ is shockingly good. We’re not exactly authorized to be passing out Michelin Stars but if you’re anywhere near Rome you need to go try the pecan fried pie. You’re welcome.

“Regenerative Ag” and “Permaculture” were terms you’d only hear in hippie graduate school programs fifteen years ago. It was the stuff of lefty crunchy granola types who wore Birkenstocks and shopped at the co-op.

Now? It very well may be a cornerstone of the incoming Trump administration’s USDA platform.

If you told me twenty years ago that Salatin, the guy who essentially coined “Eat Local”, would be part of the Republican USDA, I would have been very confused.

Whatever your politics, take heart that good things are happening in the realm of healthy food.

In 1733, James Oglethorpe and the first colonists of Georgia arrived at what is now Savannah. The colony was chartered for the explicit purpose of smacking Florida upside the head. #GoDawgs #WLOCP

One of the best Keith Jackson stories is the theory that he got his catchphrase “Whoa Nellie!” from his days guiding a plow behind a mule on the farm. He debunked the theory with one statement: “The mule’s name was Pearl.”

The South needs more of this and fewer of those bougie coffee shops, those fusion restaurants, and those automated car washes. That will happen when Southerners decide to be Southern.

Godfrey's Market, Hodges South Carolina

Some of the best fried chicken in the state served here—and they still sell hog jowls, hash, and chitlins.

Built and operated by Frank and Pete Godfrey for 53 years. Burned in 2002, and rebuilt.
