One of the things I love most about writing for the is the freedom to share what genuinely moves and inspires me.

This month felt especially meaningful.

In celebration of Black History Month, I had the honor of featuring Black farmers Niya and Eric Matthews of Twin Oak Farms. Their work in community farming, education, and food access is steady, intentional, and impactful.

I’m grateful I get to tell stories like this.

Y’all go follow Niya Brown Matthews at and support the work.

My latest Focus on Food column is out in the Market Bulletin.

This month, I’m sharing thoughts on Dry January and spotlighting Georgia-based beverage founders creating thoughtful, non-alcoholic options that still feel celebratory.

The Market Bulletin, published bi-weekly by the Georgia Department of Agriculture since 1917, has long connected farmers and consumers across the state with agricultural news, marketplace listings, and community stories. I’m always honored to contribute to a publication with such deep roots in Georgia’s food and farm culture.

If you’re not already a reader, subscriptions are affordable and accessible. A subscription is only $10 per year making it easy for anyone in Georgia’s food and agriculture community to stay connected.

Give it a read if you’re curious about what’s in my glass this January and the local brands worth sipping.
