During our time at Georgia Organics, we oversaw the entire production of the quarterly newsletter, The Dirt, including writing, editing, selling advertisements, and coordinating with our design and print teams.
In the Fall of 2016, we combined the Dirt into a Conference Brochure ahead of the 20th Anniversary Georgia Organics Conference.
When Kim Hines moved to Augusta in 2005, one of the first things she noticed was a lack of a local food culture. That, and there were no bike trails or curbside recycling.
At first, she utilized the suggestion box of her monthly water bill to advocate for these three positions. Then she realized she needed to pick one and go for it.
Hines picked food.

It’s Thursday, you’ve already decided to skip the morning shower in favor of that extra ten minutes of sleep and the only foreseeable silver lining of the day is after work St. Patrick’s Day celebrations — not to mention the fact that you woke up thinking it was Friday. You’re probably a typical American worker, making less money, working more hours, and taking fewer sick or vacation days than usual.
In other words, you’re not like Beyoncé.
While we can’t do much about your pay or work schedule, we can help you take back your morning — and put the rest of the day in Formation.

Twenty years ago, it would have been virtually impossible to imagine an American soccer player like Gyasi Zardes sprinting down the left side of a Dutch soccer field, outpacing defenders and making a difficult goal look like a simple tap-in to start the scoring for the United States men’s national team in what would become a furious 4-3 comeback win against the Netherlands.
Zardes, simply put, is an athlete. With a perfect blend of speed, agility and determination, he is a menace when racing up and down the sideline. His first touch is a revelation, blending spin moves and quick turns typically seen in the NBA Finals onto the grass soccer fields rapidly emerging across the country.

Purchase The Jig Is Up as an e-book on Amazon.
We are controlled by those who control our food. As self reliance withers on the vine, dependence and addiction blossoms and the board room, the new world opiate of the people, fattens corporate purses. In a mad, mad world, nothing makes sense in our own back yards.
People are divided… corporations united. The political system obeys power, of which the people have little.
Solutions start with a simple question: who grows your food?
The Jig Is Up begins with this question and expands beyond the dinner table to wealth inequality, rising healthcare epidemics, systematic racism and taking back political power through a world fueled by self reliance and strong communities committed to sustainability first and foremost.
Author James Carr spent 14 months researching the local food movement in Atlanta and the surrounding rural areas, along with the lack of progress in sustainable energy, to determine how the region could lead the way towards a self reliance that, if understood and followed, may reshape the globe and save our world.
Independent artists, scientists, teachers, farmers and chefs around the world change the dynamic of corporate greed by thwarting the system, harnessing the power of the internet to share their knowledge and creations. As financial, media and political institutions continue failing the people, these local voices speak truths the people can relate to, understand and benefit from.
The Jig Is Up hopes to be the first of many voices detailing what can be done in metropolises around the world. Each landscape is different; each has its own story. We invite you to read and get a taste of some good, Southern living from Atlanta, rid your life of corporate addictions and join the sustainable revolution taking place in the Underground.
