Here's a fundraiser that's good for Jackson County 4-H AND your dinner table!

The Georgia 4-H Foundation has partnered with Front Door Produce to offer fresh Georgia Grown produce boxes, and every box purchased through Jackson County helps support our local 4-H program.

For just $35, you'll receive a 20-pound box of fresh Georgia Grown produce, packed in Moultrie, Georgia.

🍅 What Might Be in Your Green Box?

Each box may include a variety of fresh, seasonal Georgia produce such as:

Bell peppers
Cucumbers
Yellow squash
Zucchini
Green beans
Corn
Cabbage
Satsumas

Because the boxes feature fresh produce, exact contents may vary—but each box will contain approximately 20 pounds of Georgia Grown goodness!

🍀 Your Purchase Supports LOCAL 4-H!

Here's our favorite part: $9 from every box sold comes directly back to Jackson County 4-H!

That means when you purchase a Green Box, you're not only supporting Georgia agriculture—you're also helping provide opportunities and experiences for our Jackson County 4-H'ers.

And we have a goal: 50+ BOXES! 🎯

If Jackson County sells at least 50 boxes, our order will qualify for direct delivery to our county, so help us reach that mark!

📅 Mark Your Calendar

Online Sales: October 1–November 2
Price: $35 per box
County Pick-Up & Distribution: Week of November 16

Final pick-up details will be shared with purchasers once delivery information is available following the fundraiser.
