ABOUT THE EVENT: Picnic on the Farm is the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture’s signature annual fundraiser — a roaming celebration of Georgia’s rich and diverse agricultural landscape. Each year, the event "pops up" at a new scenic farm, vineyard, or historic site somewhere across the state, offering guests a fresh opportunity to explore a different corner of Georgia agriculture. From vineyard tours in the mountains to seafood boils on the coast, each Picnic on the Farm is uniquely curated to reflect the local landscape and farming traditions of the host site. Guests enjoy a farm-to-table picnic, live music, hands-on demos, local shopping, and educational experiences — all while supporting GFA’s mission to fund scholarships, ag education, and farmer mental health programs. Thank you to Georgia Farm Bureau for being our Presenting Sponsor for 2025!
