The North Georgia mountains have been known for moonshine, agriculture, traditional values and a broad spectrum of geologic and cultural riches. These assets remain, but their impact is changing as visitors are now associating the North Georgia Mountains with beautiful new wineries, fabulous dining, luxury resorts and the abundance of wonderful fresh and local products. Of course, you can still find a mason jar of good 'shine if you know who to ask. Just this year owners of many North Georgia vineyards, farms, orchards, mills, herbalists, dairies and restaurants founded the Georgia Mountains Foodways Alliance, dedicated to preserving the heritage of our mountain foodways and to promoting fresh and local products. This Alliance encompasses a field-to-table spectrum from agriculture to fine dining, with emphasis on all the specialty foods, farm markets, and hands-on restaurants in between that are so dear to the hearts of Southernerss who love homegrown/homemade local food.
