GFA Picnic on the Farm promises fun for everyone

 

 

Are you looking for a fun outing suitable for families, couples, college students or a girls’ trip? Take a step back in time on Saturday, Sept. 14, with the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture for its 2024 Picnic on the Farm at ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture (GMA). Each year this unique picnic event explores a different aspect of Georgia agriculture at a special location. This year, the foundation is celebrating Georgia's agricultural history at the GMA in Tifton! 

The picnic, set to run from 1 – 4 p.m., will feature picnic baskets packed with delicious Southern cuisine, actors dressed in period costumes doing historical craft demos, family-friendly games and activities, tours of the Historic Ag Village, a cash bar that includes wine slushies, and the chance to watch plein air painters capture the event as it happens. Megan Fowler, two-time Georgia Female Country Artist of the Year, will provide live music.

Tickets are $50 for students ages 21 and under, $75 general admission and $150 for VIP admission.

General admission and student tickets include a traditional southern picnic lunch, a picnic blanket to sit anywhere on the grounds, access to the museum and historic village (steam train, playground, exhibits and other museum attractions).

VIP tickets include regular ticket perks plus a designated picnic area, drink tickets, and early entry to the event at noon. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://www.gafoundationag.org/picnic24 .

Event attire is comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities and walking on grassy or uneven terrain.

All event proceeds will benefit the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture (GFA). The GFA is committed to preparing the next generation of Georgia agricultural leaders for success. The GFA relies on  events like this to raise funds and awareness for its projects. Visit www.gafoundationag.org to learn more about the foundation.
