PRATTVILLE, Ala. - Sweet Grown Alabama hosted its third annual farm to table dinner at The Barn at Twin Valley in Prattville on July 13. Over 250 attendees enjoyed a dinner full of locally grown products, live music from local band Shackelford Lane and beautiful Alabama farm views.

Farmers and ranchers, Sweet Grown Alabama sponsors and supporters, local legislators and community members dined on nine sweet southern classics highlighting Sweet Grown Alabama products from beef to corn to ice cream. Sweet Grown Alabama wine from Jules J. Berta Vineyards & Winery in Albertville was also featured.

“The entire goal of Sweet Grown Alabama is to promote the wonderful products grown here in this state,” said Sweet Grown Alabama Director Ellie Watson.

Agriculture is one of Alabama’s largest industries accounting for over $70 billion of economic impact annually, making it a key component in Alabama’s economy. Studies show that for every dollar spent locally, 60 cents stay within Alabama’s economy.
