An overview of growing turmeric, permaculture and my reasons for growing.

Georgia Grown Organic Turmeric, Elderberries & More…

Located in the Southeast USA, Middle Georgia, I am eager to connect with fellow growers of all kinds, especially organic, medicinal crop and nut growers!

Permaculture-inspired means bio-diversity, multi-crops and no chemicals! 2023 is the first growing season. Would you be interested in developing a relationship with a local Georgia organic farmer? Do you have any interest in growing turmeric, or any of the crops mentioned? Let’s connect and help each other thrive.
