Plans are set for a celebration of Oconee County agriculture. The 10th Annual Farm Oconee Dinner will be held 5:30 to 7 the evening of Monday, September 23 at the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative on the Sandifer Boulevard. The guest speaker will be Dr. Allison Justice, a Fair Play hemp farmer who partnered with a California company to create a hemp extraction facility at her farm. Tickets are $30 dollars each, or $50 dollars a couple, and entitle the holder to a dinner of locally-sourced food by Chef Evan Dimas, along with a complimentary drink. A portion of the proceeds benefit the FFA scholarship fund.
