Floods Devastate Canoe & Love is Love Farm

Last week the Chattahoochee River filled Canoe with over eight feet of water in the first floor. During the repairs and rebuilding period over the next weeks, Chef Carvel Gould asks for the industry’s support in hiring her front and back of the house employees for available part-time work.

Building a successful farming operation is a tremendous endeavor and it is devastating when the entire farm is engulfed in flood waters. Judith Winfrey and Joe Reynolds lost their entire fall crop and the irrigation system was destroyed in floods earlier this month.

It is important to show our support of farmers like Judith and Joe of Love is Love Farm and I ask for the GFA community rally with prayers and dollars. Visit the Slow Food site (link to ATL Slow Food site) to learn how donations may be made to help Judith and Joe rebuild the farm and lives. See the below blog post for a fund-raising dinner.
