What This Farm Is

A farm. A hub. A neighbor.

Three years in. Five acres in Historic South Atlanta. Rooted in the neighborhoods that built this city — and built this country's idea of what Atlanta is.

WHERE WE COME FROM

Atlanta agriculture is a Black tradition.

From Sweet Auburn to the AUC, from family gardens to HBCU ag programs, growing food in South Atlanta has always been a way of holding ground. We're carrying that tradition forward — not inventing it.

WHAT WE'VE DONE

Three years. Real numbers. Real wins.

5,500+ lbs grown. 263 young people reached, 43 in paid roles. $22K+ in food reinvested locally. Start:ME Southside 2026 — Pitch Perfect and Community Impact Award.

WHAT WE'RE DOING

Independent. Producing. Hosting.

South Atlanta Farms LLC formed April 2026. Chef boxes with Grant Park Coffeehouse, per-pound accounts with Little Bear and Talat. Sunday market. First paid youth fellows start June 8.

WHERE WE'RE GOING

A self-sustaining institution.

Scaling to 1.5 acres in production by 2028, with food sales carrying the majority of operations. A 501(c)(3) standing up in fall 2026. Working toward permanent public farmland — a neighborhood asset that lasts.

The Lines Drawn Through

These neighborhoods know what the lines did.

Federal highways cut through them. I-75/85 was built directly through two of the oldest Black neighborhoods in Atlanta.

Federal policy drew red lines around them. The 1996 Olympics displaced families from them.

And they're still here. Still home. Still ours.

We farm across the lines drawn through them. We feed across the lines drawn through them. The work is the answer to the lines.
