The Walton Local Food Alliance receives statewide recognition

By DeDe Harris

The Walton Local Food Alliance sponsored by Walton Wellness got big recognition last week by being accepted into The Georgia Organics Food Oasis Program as a Food Oasis City.  Quite an accomplishment for a community of our size.
Other cities accepted are:
-Atlanta
-Augusta
-Columbus
-Dougherty Co. (Albany)
-Rome
-Savannah
Waycross
Georgia Food Oasis Program seeks to connect and empower Georgians to healthier ways to eat, cook, and grow local, fresh food through access, events, and education. We collaborate with local organizations, businesses, growers, and residents within communities to self-develop innovative and affordable ways to discover, taste, and learn about food. Georgia Food Oasis is a starting point for communities to facilitate a bigger discussion on increasing access to truly healthy food.
