Executive Chef Nicholas Walker and Cobb Galleria Centre recently hosted local media and prospective clients to experience a four-course meal with never before created recipes. A large portion of ingredients were sourced from Comfort Farms.
Comfort Farms is located in Milledgeville, Chef Walker’s hometown. It is a local farm, created by Jon Jackson, dedicated to helping military veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They grow organic vegetables and raise animals. Items that can be found at their market include squash, collards, corn, melons, pork, and rabbit plus so much more! For information on Comfort Farms, visit their website.
