AgLanta is a collective of community members dedicated to cultivating local, thoughtfully-grown food for our communities on vacant sites we have adopted throughout the City of Atlanta. We are creating innovative ways to grow food, end food deserts, and build sustainable urban agriculture businesses. We "grow with purpose".
The goal of our holiday fundraiser is to raise $25,000 to purchase the basic necessities we need to make each site vision come to life. This includes staples like tools, plants, soil, and compost. YOUR holiday gift of $5 to $500 will help us reach our goal and ensure the success of one of the most innovative urban agricultural initiatives in the country.
Thank you for participating in this collective effort to "grow with purpose." Together, we are growing a more resilient, equitable, and accessible food system for ONE Atlanta.
January 2019 - Meet as a team to place orders collectively.
February-March 2019 - Hold workdays at the 8 sites to distribute and incorporate compost, start spring seeds, etc.
March - June 2019 - Utilize tools, compost, seeds, etc. to grow with purpose.
Spring/Summer 2019 - Distribute our produce and products according to each site's specific mission (e.g. donate produce to end hunger).
Each of the 8 agricultural sites seek to collectively strengthen the local food system in Atlanta, Georgia by pursuing their own purposes:
Help us grow collectively as we pursue our unique purposes in Atlanta's many neighborhoods.
