Agriculture and Natural Resources

Gilmer is the “apple capital” of the state, but the county also has an emerging wine grape industry. These commodities account for a considerable portion of the 138.9 million generated in tourism revenue. To support these industries, the agent coordinates production meetings, conducts site visits, and leads applied research projects at local farms. The agent also provides support in soil health, safe pesticide handling, crop and pasture management, and providing guidance to small farm startups. Community members receive assistance in determining if their water is safe to drink through consultations and water testing. Last year, Gilmer submitted 142 Microbiology water tests and 120 water and ponds (minerals, metals, or pond tests) and ranked 2nd?in the state for microbiology water testing services and 7th for water and ponds. The agent further serves homeowners by assisting with home fruit and vegetable gardening, ornamentals, turf management, and plant, insect, and disease identification. In 2024 Master Gardener volunteers contributed over 1,109 hours of service in the area, and helped teach gardening classes, including the popular annual spring “First Thursdays” and fall “Make and Take” programs at the Gilmer County Public Library.

4-H Youth Development

Gilmer County 4-H responds to the needs of 4-H youth and the community by providing educational programs focused on healthy living, “soft skill” workforce development, local agricultural support, literacy skill development, community service, and STEM activities. Elementary, Middle and High school students showcase their public speaking skills, preparing an oral presentation with visuals: Junior level and Senior level 4-H’ers also complete an individual portfolio to document and showcase their project work from the entire year. The 4-H’ers overwhelmingly report that they are better public speakers because of 4-H. They also report that 4-H has helped them become more confident as a person. Finally, they report a sense of belonging, and have uncovered new insights and skills about themselves.? In 2024, Gilmer County took a delegation of 40 Cloverleaf 4-H’ers to Camp Jekyll and one Senior level 4-H’er attended Natural Resources Camp.? During the school/ 4-H year, Gilmer County offers weekend trips to district events, conferences, and competitions.? In 2025, Gilmer County began a Fishing Club.??
