If you come to the Georgia Agrirama for the Key Ingredients exhibit, you will learn about the agricultural practices and foods that were once common in the Tifton area. Also while at the Agrirama, be sure to go inside the giant peanut; inside this peanut is a great museum on the history of peanut production in Georgia. Visit Adcock’s, a wholesaler of pecans, to take home nuts, jellies, and other Georgia-produced foods. Several food-related festivals also occur around Tifton each year, including the Georgia Peanut Festival and the Grits Festival!
