In this episode we travel to the Sautee Nacoochee Valley in White County Georgia where we travel back in time to the Historic Hardman Farm, and the Nora Mill Grainery.  We learn who the Anna Ruby Falls was named for, as well as who built the glimmering white red roofed gazebo on top of the Sautee Nacoochee  Indian mound.  We got to meet the young man who grinds corn meal on a 150 year old French Burr grindstone that weighs 1500 lbs.  We met friendly docents in period costumes who gave us a guided tour back in time.  Cornbread & Buttermilk were introduced to Dr. Lamartine Hardman, Governor of The State of Georgia 1927-1931, and his lovely wife Emma.

Also learn about a program at the Appalachian Beekeeping Collective.
