Metro Atlanta Urban Farm believes everyone deserves access to affordable high quality produce. Our produce is certified naturally grown and harvested with care by the hands of staff and volunteers who support an equitable food distribution system. We provide gardening and agricultural training to ensure families learn to feed themselves and to create future generations of urban agriculturalists. Welcome to our Farm. We invite you to explore, learn, eat, and grow with us!
At Metro Atlanta Urban Farm, we believe EVERYONE should have access to affordable fresh produce that is grown free of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Our mission is to reduce barriers to healthy living in urban communities by encouraging, promoting, and supporting health education and sustainable high-quality, low-cost agricultural production through gardening and farm training. Most importantly, our goal is to feed you well! We invite you to visit our community and experience urban farming at our 5-acre facility located in College Park, GA!
We are a certified naturally grown farm and community-driven organization that provides training, education and support services for youth, adults and seniors interested in transforming their lives and communities through agriculture. Our overarching goal is to create sustainable urban agriculture while building stronger communities. It is through this medium we will create health and economic empowerment zones while providing accessible, high-quality, low-cost produce.
We are committed to identifying and implementing effective programming activities and processes that will help create healthy communities.
By demonstrating your support, you can help us keep working for the community. Supporting our youth today sets the foundation for a brighter, more secure future.
Our programs are designed to create future generations of urban farmers, provide incentives to motivate families to eat healthy and participate in an agricultural system that is environmentally friendly.

They grow most of the produce they sell, so many options are limited by season, but you can't get much fresher. The quality of the greens has been unsurpassed. More often than not, the guy goes out into the field to pick what I am buying just before I pay for it.
Customer
This place has grown. It has hoop houses, plots, well, and solar panels.
