My name is LeeAnna Tatum and I’m the editor and publisher of Southern Soil. This magazine is born not only out of my passion for sustainably produced food, but also to fill a void that I found frustrating from a consumer standpoint.

I love to read articles about homesteading, permaculture, farm-to-table restaurants and inspiring stories about people who were on a similar path as my own. What I found frustrating was that these people and most of the businesses and restaurants that I would read about were located miles from where I live… and eat.
