Agriculture continues to be a heavyweight industry in Georgia, contributing over $75 billion to the state’s economy. Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black wants to double down on that success with Georgia Grown. The branded logo is associated with producers, sellers, manufacturers, and any Georgia business that wants to further align itself with the Peach State.

We sit down with Black to talk about Georgia’s perception around the world as an agricultural player. We also hear from Georgia Grown member Ross Harding, CEO of Verdant Kitchen, about his decision to join the program and what it has done for his business.
