About us
We're the South Fulton Chapter of the Georgia Young Farmer program, the adult education component of the state of Georgia's agricultural education.
Each chapter and its leader, the Young Farmer, runs educational programs and workshops for members and for the public and provides technical assistance to farmers.
Membership in Young Farmers is open to *anyone* who is supportive of agriculture and of agricultural education. Everyone is welcome, there's no age limit!
South Fulton's Young Farmer is Mr. Traves Hyman, an agriculture teacher at Creekside High School in Fairburn.
