North Georgia Moonshine
A History of the Lovells and Other Liquor Makers

Picture
The stories continue, and today, we are honored to share the work that materializes our two-year journey through the mountains of North Georgia. For Judy, it was simply going back home. She calls it "her love letter" to the mountains, the setting to her own memoir. Meet Carlos Lovell and his daughter Carlene; Carlos's brother Fred and sister Judy. Included is their mother's recipe for sweet potato pie. Trust me, you will want to make this. Make a pot of coffee, plate up some pie, and settle back for a couple of hours to walk with the pioneers of moonshine history in Georgia. [order today]

Just like you.
We have chosen to make discovery a part of our life.
Seek stories that will change us.
Visit destinations that fulfill us.
Consume foods that tantalize us.
