The Georgia Grown Executive Chef program is thriving with the addition of another crop of chefs for 2015. The four new chefs are Chef Matthew Basford of Canoe in Atlanta, Chef Cathy Conway of Avalon Catering in Atlanta, Chef Jay Swift of 4th & Swift in Atlanta and Chef John Syzmanski of The Kroger Co.

Georgia Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and Georgia Restaurant Association Executive Director Karen Bremer recently announced the 2015 Georgia Grown Executive Chefs during GRA’s Taste of Georgia Legislative Reception.

“As we welcome another group of talented chefs into this distin-guished program, we continue to further promote and foster relation-ships between Georgia farms and local chefs,” Commissioner Black said. “Georgia has an ample amount of quality, local products that are available throughout the cooking season and these great products can continue to be showcased to the state’s culinary community via the Georgia Grown Executive Chef program.”

Now entering its fourth year, the program offers participating chefs a mark of honor and distinction, while garnering a greater awareness both among restaurateurs and consumers about the avail-ability of quality, local products on Georgia’s restaurant scene.

“The 2015 chefs chosen for this program have exceptional expe-rience and talent in their field and already demonstrate a strong sup-port for Georgia-grown products,” Bremer said. “These chefs will without a doubt do an excellent job representing Georgia’s restau-rants and Georgia Grown and they will help continue to strengthen the relationship between Georgia’s chefs and farmers.

Imagine it’s a crisp, bright October day and you are able to squeeze into the last parking spot in a packed lot. You walk into the door of R & A Orchards in Ellijay to the smell of sugar, cinnamon, and warm apples and you feel right at home. The market is full of fruit and vegetables, jams and jellies, apple cider, slushy ma-chines, fried pies and ice cream. You may get a “whiff” of barbeque or whatever else is cooking in the café that day. You can walk out to the hay wagon and take a tour of the farm and get off in the orchard to pick fresh apples (or strawberries or peaches depending on the season). That is just a regular day for R & A.

R & A Orchard had its beginning in 1947 when Della and Leon-ard Payne planted their first apple trees in Gilmer County. They were joined by daughter Ann and her husband Roger in 1969 and in 1972

they opened a roadside market. The third generation entered the business when Ann and Roger’s son Andy planted trees for an FFA school project. Then daughter Rhon-da started helping in the apple house.

Today, Andy and wife Jennifer along with their children Amanda, Jessica, Anna and Jacob carry on the family tradition. Whether it is working in the kitchen mak-ing pies or working in the fields with the fruits and vegetables, there is always some-

thing to do on the farm. R & A Orchard has approximately 60 acres of

Blueberries, peaches, and pears – oh my! These three fruits are some of the most popular and deli-cious types of fruit produced in orchards across Georgia, including the Real Life Orchard. Located in Tyrone, Ga, the Real Life Orchard is not your typical orchard; it operates solely on the work of volunteers and all of the fruit produced is donated to the Real Life Center in Peachtree City. The or-chard sits on three acres donated for use by the Dog-wood Church and currently has 140 apple trees, 55 peach trees, 7 plum trees, 4 pear trees, and 3 persim-mon trees, in addition to 300 blueberry bushes, 135 blackberry vines, 35 grape vines, 7 fig trees, and 12 pomegranate bushes. Last year the orchard produced over 12,000 pounds of fresh fruit that was donated to the Peachtree City Real Life Center. In 2014 alone, the Real Life Center reached over 5,300 families and distributed over 425,000 pounds of food.

Orchard manager Jeff Meyers has been involved

with the Real Life Center for many years. “Prior to the establishment of the Real Life Or-

chard, I served in the food bank at the Real Life Center with my church group organizing the pan-try and saw there was a real need for fresh produce because everything that was being donated was the leftovers, the damaged goods, the stuff that people didn’t want, and that wasn’t always the healthiest of choices that were out there,” Meyers said.

The food bank is part of the perishables program, which allows families to come in once a week to get perishables, such as bread and the fresh fruit.

“We’re able to, in many cases; provide fruit that is as good as, or better than what they can buy in the store – that certainly puts a smile on their faces,” he said.

On average, volunteers can expect to spend 10 to 20 hours each year at the orchard. They are split into fruit teams, which allow each volunteer to be-come an expert in the production of their assigned

Orchard Helps Fill Perishable Void in Food Donations

One of the driving forces behind the Real Life Orchard has been Mr. Lester Bray. According to orchard manager Jeff Meyers, “Without Lester, the or-chard might have survived, but it cer-tainly would not have thrived.”See ORCHARD, page 16

Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for vegetablesMarketing Order Referendum to be held in March

The Agricultural Commodity Commission for Vegetables will hold a 30-day grower referendum to allow producers an opportunity to vote on a new Marketing Order for Vegetables which establishes a 1 cent per marketing unit assessment on fresh vegetables produced for sale in this State. The order applies to grow-ers with 50 acres or more of total annual production and only applies to beans, bell pepper, specialty pep-per, Broccoli, beets, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, greens including collards, turnips greens, mustard and kale, squash including, yellow, zucchini and winter squash, sweet potato and tomato. Collected assessments fund programs of research, promotion and education on behalf of Georgia Vegeta-bles. This marketing order is to replace the marketing order which failed to pass in 2014 grower referendum.

In order for the Marketing Order to be approved, 66 2/3% of those ballots returned must be in favor of approval of new the Marketing Order. Also 25% of ballots of eligible voters must be returned for referendum to be valid. Upon approval, the Marketing Order would be in effect for three (3) years beginning May 1, 2015 and ending April 30, 2018.

The balloting period for the proposed Marketing Order has been set for March 1, 2015 to March 30, 2015. Ballots must be postmarked no later than midnight March 30, 2015 to be eligible to be counted.

Last December, President Barack Obama announced plans to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba and reverse a policy of virtual trade isolation that has spanned for nearly 54 years. While a full reversal of the trade embargo will require Congressional ap-proval, the President’s directive immediately eases at least some of the sanctions primarily in the areas of travel, banking and trade.

Starting in January, U.S. travelers are no longer required to obtain a government

license and airlines such as Atlanta based Delta will be permit-ted to offer services there. Banking institutions are authorized to facilitate financial transactions, and U.S. companies are permitted to invest in certain small businesses and shipments of building materials are allowed to private Cuban companies.

The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 allowed President Clinton to end any unilateral sanctions on specific goods such as agricultural commodities and medical goods to Cuba.

In Washington D.C., leading farm groups believe agriculture can serve as a foundation for overall enhanced trade relations with the island. Last month, more than 25 companies and farm trade organizations formed a coalition to promote more improved agri-cultural trade relations with Cuba. The U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, led by organizations such as the American Farm Bureau, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and the National Chicken Council believes that the improvement of agricultural trade between the U.S. and Cuba is the foundation for building success and enduring relations between both countries. The coalition predicts poultry, corn and soybeans stand the most to gain from enhanced relations.

Cuba currently imports approximately 80 percent, or $1.7 billion, of its domestic food requirements according to the Global Trade Information Service. The United States holds around 4% of that market and lags substantially behind other countries such as European Union, Brazil and Canada. But agricultural ship-ments to Cuba have remained volatile in recent decades peaking at around $700 million in 2008 and dropping to nearly $272.8 million in 2014, the lowest in a decade. Frozen poultry products comprised around 41 percent of that total, according to the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council. Other exports such as soy-bean oil cakes, corn and soybeans added an additional 48 percent.

This could mean good news for Georgia farmers. U.S. exports represent an estimated 80% of total Cuban poultry imports with continued signs for growth with increased demands for poultry as a principle source of protein and increases in Cuban house-hold incomes. Georgia remains the top U.S. exporter of poultry, shipping roughly $1.2 billion worth in 2013, with $13.7 million targeted to Cuba.

The Port of Brunswick is the number one port in the U.S. for exports to Cuba. The Georgia Ports Authority sent nearly 38,000 short tons of soybeans, flour and meal of oilseed to Cuba in 2013, making up 80 percent of those products received by the nation. An additional 35 shipments of other products were exported to the island including cordage, twine, logs and lumber and petroleum products.

While opportunities do exist for Georgia farmers, there remain a number of unknowns. A full overhaul of the trade embargo will require Congressional approval, a move that some feel may not take place anytime soon. While Cuban household incomes show signs of improvement, they still lag far behind those in the U.S. with a per capita income of just 12% of what we experience here.

However, relaxed travel and trade restrictions could provide a boost to Cuba’s overall economy, increasing demand on Geor-gia’s farm products. With Georgia poultry products already well positioned in the Cuban market and our significant growth in vegetable production, we could see plenty of opportunities for Georgia farmers.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2015 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN – 404-656-3722 PAGE 9

I am a yuccaphile, a lover of yuccas, especially Yucca filamentosa, one of the most underappreciated and underuti-lized American flowers.

Yucca filamentosa is the most widespread yucca na-tive to Georgia and the one most widely available for sale. Sometimes called “bear grass,” “Adam’s needle yucca” or simply “Adam’s needle,” it is a short yucca with pointed evergreen leaves that grow one to two feet tall. The plant has a sculptural quality, especially in winter. It would be valuable in the garden even if it never bloomed.

But it does bloom. The bloom rises like a stalk of giant asparagus, often six feet tall or more, before branching out to bear waxy, white to cream flowers. It is dramatic, a floral Old Faithful.

I have tried for years to get people to look at the beauty and durability of yuccas. Working in nurseries I witnessed customers ignore my advice and select less durable plants requiring more water and more work. Sigh….

Some people shy away from yuccas because they think all of them have sharp leaves. The familiar and also native Spanish bayonet (Yucca aloifolia) and some other spe-cies do have dangerously sharp and stiff leaves and need to be sited with care, but Yucca filamentosa does not. It has a sharp point at the end of each leaf, but the leaves are flexible allowing it to be planted along a sidewalk or in a playground without worry. The points and the threads at the edges of the leaves account for the “Adam’s needle” moni-ker and the filamentosa in its botanical name.

Many yucca species are native to deserts of Mexico and the Southwest. Unfortunately, some people only associate yuccas with hot, dry areas and refuse to consider any of them. The British, some the finest gardeners in the world, do not share this mental block. They use yuccas freely. The French painter Henri Rousseau included what appear to be blooming yuccas (perhaps Yucca gloriosa or Yucca recur-vifolia – also Georgia natives) in some of his jungle scenes. Their bold form matched his painting style. He did not let the origins of yuccas restrict how he would use them.

Adam’s needle yucca thrives in ordinary garden soil as well as sandy and rocky soils. It likes full sun, although I have seen it growing wild in open woods. There are several varieties, including variegated ones.

Try Adam’s needle yucca amid low-growing plants such as thrift (Phlox subulata), creeping verbena and creeping junipers that accentuate the yucca’s distinctive form. Use it in planters, on banks, in perennial beds or as a foil for winter annuals or ornamental grasses. Visiting the Atlanta Botanical Garden in January, I came upon a clever planting of variegated yuccas with purple curly-leaf kale. The two complemented each other both in color and form. The dark, billowy leaves of the kale enhanced the yellow leaves of the yuccas making them look like bursts of sunlight.

Here are a few more virtues and interesting facts:Don’t confuse yucca with the edible tuberous roots sold

as yuca. Yuca is another name for cassava. Yucca roots have been used as a source of soap. In the

hair-crazy 70s, there was even a shampoo named Yucca Dew that contained yucca extract.

Some American Indians used yucca leaves as a source of fiber. After the Civil War, some farmers considered Yucca filamentosa as an alternative to cotton, but no industry or market developed around it.

Outdoorsmen report that the dry bloom stalk of yucca makes an excellent bow drill to start a fire.

Biologists and nature lovers should note that yuccas serve as host plants for two species of butterflies in Geor-gia: yucca giant skipper and Cofaqui giant skipper. They are also the host for the yucca moth, a little white moth that they depend on for pollination. By pollinating the flowers the moths make sure their caterpillars have seeds to eat. However, the caterpillars don’t eat all the seeds, ensuring a new generation of yucca plants – a fascinating symbiotic relationship.

Deer avoid eating yuccas either due to the toughness and stringiness of the leaves or due to the sharp points on some species, a welcome feature in these days of rising deer populations.

Yucca flowers are edible. Those of Yucca filamentosa I have tasted remind me of mild cabbage. I shared some with the grandchildren of a friend. When they visited several months later the first thing they asked was about “the plant with white flowers that we ate.”

Do I spy two future yuccaphiles? How about you? Isn’t there room for at least one yucca

in your garden?

Arty’s Garden is written by Arty Schronce, the depart-ment’s resident garden expert. He grows several yucca species in his Cabbagetown garden. Yucca nomenclature is confused with some taxonomists separating one species into several and others lumping formerly separate species to-gether. To quote Shakespeare, “That which we call a yucca by any other name would smell as sweet.” Or something like that….

ARTY’S GARDEN: Try a yucca for drama and durability

Variegated varieties of Adam’s needle yuccas are good choices to brighten a winter landscape.

What is the Poultry Grading Service?

Poultry Grading is a program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agriculture Mar-keting Service Livestock, Poultry and Seed Division. In the State of Georgia, this program is administered by the Georgia Department of Agriculture Food Safety Division, within a pro-gram referred to as the “Poultry Grading Service.”

Georgia’s Poultry Grading Service grades poultry in an effort to classify and sort poultry. This process takes into account various groups of conditions and quality characteristics, which meet official standards and grades, set by the federal government. The Poultry Grading service also provides the grading of shell eggs, in an effort to classify and sort shell eggs according to national standards for the egg grades and weight classifications. These official grades and standards are beneficial to the marketing of all poultry products, indicating a standard level of product specifications that are uniform across the industry.

Eric O’Kelley is the program director, with roughly 30 full-time employees and 15 hourly agriculture inspectors working within the program. Charles Edwards is one of the GDA’s full-time Poultry and Shell Egg Graders, whose primary responsibility is ensuring any poultry or shell eggs marked with a USDA certification meet or exceed “acceptable quality level” (AQL) requirements and sampling tolerances.

What do the grades mean?

When poultry products meet required AQL tolerances, their grading levels are confirmed. Grade is dependent upon the level of quality that is stated on a label. The common grades are those we see when purchasing fresh poultry or shell eggs from the store. (Other grade mark stamp certifications may be applied to wholesale product, due to condition or quantity as re-quested by a particular company.)

The common grades for shell eggs are AA, A and B. The grade is determined by the interior quality of the egg and the appearance and condition of the egg shell. Eggs of any quality grade may differ slightly in size and weight. Grades AA and A are most often sold in stores because they have thick, firm whites, and yolks that are high, round and practically free from defects. Grade B eggs are usually used to make liquid, frozen and dried egg products.

Poultry is graded as either A, B, C or no grade. A is the highest quality, and the only level likely seen at the retail level. This indicates the poultry is virtually free from any defects (such

as bruising, skin discoloration, or feathers; no tears in the skin; bone-in products have no bro-ken bones, etc.). Grades B and C are used in further-processed products where the meat is cut up, chopped or ground.

Life as a “grader.”

“Many times, we ‘USDA/Agricultural Commodity Graders’ are mistakenly called or thought of as Inspectors, when in fact a USDA inspector has a totally different job classifica-tion,” Edwards said. “We graders do inspect products but, unlike a USDA inspector, we classify and sort the product into grades. USDA Inspectors certify the product is wholesome to eat after it passes through the appropriate processing procedures.”

The poultry and egg samples checked by graders like Edwards assure quality products be-fore they leave the processing facility and end up going to retail store shelves. Graders are state employees who have no affiliation with the company who processes the product.

“The products I sample are sampled by internal Quality Assurance also; however, my AQL sampling overrides that of the QA’s,” Edwards said. “This ensures the AQL samplings are unbiased and provide that only safe, wholesome, grade marked products make it to market.”

Any product bearing an official USDA grade mark is to be inspected and certified by a Li-censed Grader or representative of the USDA such as Edwards before being issued grade mark certification. Examples of the logos that can be found on poultry and shell eggs include:

“There is one common misunderstanding about USDA logos on packages,” Edwards said. “One logo is a round, circular inspection mark stating the product is wholesome and healthy to eat and assigned a federal plant number. [In the example, the federal plant number is P-42.]

“The other shielded logos are known as the ‘Grade Marks,’ which is what those of us in the Grading Service allow to be stamped on product that has passed our inspection process,” he continued. “The Grade Marks are distinctive only to product certified by a USDA/AMS licensed grader.”

Graders like Edwards, who work for the Grading Service in Georgia, also monitor and per-form these types of AQL sampling procedures on poultry used in the National School Lunch Program for school cafeteria meals as required through the AMS.

Other services might involve performing tests on products to make sure the weight is cor-rectly labeled (so consumers do not end up paying more or less for what they are getting in the store), and performing condition inspections before poultry and Shell Egg can be shipped or transported.

“Many people are unaware of these services provided by the GDA, but they play a very im-portant role in our lives both locally and overseas,” Edwards said. “As a Grader for the Grading Service, you might be stationed at one particular facility full-time. Or you could be like me, who travels the State of Georgia to multiple facilities to provide various services.”

How does the Poultry Grading Service benefit all of us?Individually, the average consumer might be wondering how this service is a benefit to all

of us. The primary tasks of a grader are twofold: 1. Perform AQL samples on poultry products before and after packaging in order to minimize the percentage of defects, and 2. Perform AQL samples on shell eggs before and after processing as well as packaging to insure consumers are receiving a minimum amount of defects known to the handling of their shell eggs.

“The Poultry Grading Service assures that the consumer receives a product with the quality stated on the Grade Mark value,” O’Kelley said.

The Poultry Grading Service provides many other services that benefit companies, but the program is not a mandatory service and is therefore offered on a “fee-for-service” basis. The program does not receive any government or outside funding to operate.

fruit. Each team is led by a team leader, who oversees and teaches their volunteers the best methods in production and harvesting. Many successful growers who run commercial op-erations across the state have donated their time to come out to the orchard and teach volunteers the most efficient fruit production practices.

While most of the fruits are harvested by volunteers, the Real Life Orchard also has “U-Pick Berry Patches” for community members to come in to pick blueberries and blackberries due to the labor intensive har-vest and the large number of berries. Com-munity members who come out to the U-Pick

Patches are allowed to take home one-half of berries they pick free of charge, while the other half of their harvest is donated to the Real Life Center. The U-Pick Patches also help to increase the community’s involve-ment in and knowledge of the mission of the Real Life Center and Orchard, “Providing Necessities for Living, Equipping People for Life.”

This spring the Real Life Orchard will be installing a garden on site. In the short term, the garden will help supplement the amount of fresh produce provided by the orchard. However, the long term plan for the garden aspect of the orchard is to implement a mo-

bile garden installation program. The ulti-mate goal is to be able to purchase a trailer that would transport all of the necessary equipment to someone’s property to help cultivate the soil and prepare it for planting, as long as that individual is willing to give a portion of what they grow back to the local food bank. By providing the equipment nec-essary to start a garden, the orchard hopes to create opportunities for people to give back to the community by providing fresh, healthy food to families in need.

“There are lots of individuals, churches, schools, and community organizations that want to have vegetable gardens, but don’t

have the equipment to do anything of any size,” Meyers said. “We hope that this mobile garden installation program can help those people and those who receive food from the Real Life Center as well.”

As far as the future is concerned, the Real Life Orchard hopes to produce around 30,000 pounds of fresh fruit at full produc-tion and continue putting smiles on the faces of families in need. The Real Life Orchard is currently in need of all types of donations. If you are interested in making a donation or learning more about the Real Life Orchard, additional information can be found online at reallifecenter.org/orchard.

The grouping of fruit teams at the Real Life Orchard gives each volunteer the ability to become an expert in the production of their assigned fruit. The apple team is happy to display the fruits of their labor that will be donated to families in need.

Orchard: Continuing to Grow to Meet NeedsFrom Page 1

apples in many varieties, and about 10 acres in peaches and nectarines. They have some strawberries in the spring and different veg-etables during the seasons.

When Andy Futch is asked why he de-cided to join Georgia Grown, he said that he feels the program has “lots of potential” and is “beneficial to producers to make the right connections.” They use the Georgia Grown logo on their boxes, bags, can goods, and ci-ders. They feel it shows the quality of their products. Some of the things he hoped to

gain through the program have already started with increased business opportunities. It has opened the door to meet wholesalers who are interested in meeting consumer request for lo-cal products and has even gotten some of his apples into local school systems.

In looking at the picture of Georgia’s agri-cultural industry overall, Futch says that “the biggest thing people need to know is that the food we grow here in Georgia is the safest of anywhere in the world.” And he takes great pride in growing the produce he sells in the

store and having people come in and get to know his family and staff. He is open year around and it has been maintained as a family run farm. They have incorporated diversity into the business by adding you pick, tours, hayrides, and moving toward Agritourism to meet the needs and request of his consumer base.

R & A Orchards has great reviews on Face-book and TripAdvisor; but this one summed it up: The person who coined the phrase, “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels”

never had an R & A Orchards fried pie - OR their Chicken-n-Dumplings. Mercy!! Enough said! If you are feeling the need to drive through the mountains of Ellijay; stop by and get some apples, and a fried pie or to for the road!
