The Chamber's Existing Business & Industry Work Group is holding its third Quarterly Industry Tour, sponsored in 2017 by Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon, Inc., from 9:00AM until 10:00AM on September 14 at Southern Organics near Columbiana.

Southern Organics specializes in growing local, healthy produce through ecologically sustainable methods. This is achieved by combining the aquaculture and hydroponic industries into one integrated system that thrives on continuous technological advances. 

Nutrient-rich water from their tilapia flows under rafts in our state of the art greenhouses to continually nourish their plants. This enables them to grow all of our produce without the use of any pesticides, insecticides or any harmful chemicals used in traditional agriculture.

Southern Organics is able to grow superior products through continuous focus on innovation and sustainable practices. They believe there is value in being able to eat a product that was harvested that morning as opposed to a week or more ago. When buying products from Southern Organics you are investing in food that is 100% locally grown and treated with care to ensure premium quality and taste. 

Participants will meet on site at 120 Landfill Road, Columbiana AL 35051. 

There is no cost to attend however reservations are requested to assist with preparation. Space is limited, register by noon on Tuesday, September 12 to Payton Thomas at payton@shelbychamber.org or 663-4542 ext. 105 or register online.
