Our Mission

"ya'll COME BACK!" sign in Ashburn, Georgia - photo taken on February 18, 2021.
“ya’ll COME BACK!” sign in Ashburn, Georgia – photo taken on February 18, 2021.

The stereotypical image of “small-town charm” exists in Turner County, Georgia, but so do the frank realities of modernization; the shuttered and empty storefronts, dilapidated buildings, and what feels like stagnant growth. But the Southern way of life perseveres. You can find our cultural identity in farming practices continued on familial hand-me-down land, the nurturing of our heirloom gardens, or even in the endurance of our citizens. What it means to be a Southerner, a Georgian, or even a Turner County resident can be seen clearly evident in so many continued traditions. The mission of the Turner County Project is to illuminate our cultural practices one photo at a time. To give a permanent photographic presence for future historians, amateur or professional, no matter their interests.

It is our hope to be able to crowdsource images featuring our community. If you are interested in submitting an image, email the image to contact@turnercountyproject.com with as much info as you can provide (date, location, and a description).

"Have you ever wondered how you keep a baby watermelon warm….with cups of course! 125,000 cups to exact!

This is the part of farming most don’t think about as they sit by the pool on a hot summer day and enjoy a refreshing slice of watermelon. But this is the reality of farming and producing a crop.

So next time you are eating or putting on your clothes…think about what goes into getting your food and fiber from “farm to table”
