At the Sunbelt Ag Expo, the Family Living Building stands out for showcasing a variety of small and local businesses. Here, you can explore a mix of shops offering handmade goods, including clothing, jewelry, kitchen essentials, and more. The emphasis on locally sourced products truly captures the core of Georgia’s creativity.
One of the top categories in the Family Living Building is apparel. Shops like Magnolia Loom, Good Ole Boys Outdoors, Bull and Briar, and Support Georgia Ag feature unique, locally crafted clothing and caps. Magnolia Loom, in particular, is a Georgia-grown business known for its shirts printed using cotton sourced from the Darrell Williams Research Farm. Support Georiga Ag and Magnolia Loom, have a partnership together, raising funds for Georgia FFA, which supports the next generation of agricultural leaders.
As you stroll through the building, you’ll be tempted by many delicious samples. Treat your taste buds to hush puppies, local coffee, honey, syrups, and refreshing lemonades, all represented by the heritage of Georgia. The welcoming atmosphere invites visitors to engage with local vendors and discover the flavors of Georgia.
Additionally, the Georgia Grown Stage is located in the Family Living building, where food enthusiasts showcase their culinary skills. Throughout the week, attendees can enjoy cooking demonstrations and seminars, learning new recipes and tips to take home.
On your trip to the 2025 Sunbelt Ag Expo, be sure to plan to stop by the Family Living Building. It’s the perfect place to snag some unique Georgia-grown items and indulge in treats that celebrate the local lifestyles.
