Excerpt:
Metro Atlanta Urban Farm’s Bobby Wilson used his retirement savings to purchase five acres in the College Park neighborhood which he revitalized and cultivated to provide fresh produce to hundreds of marginalized and underserved Atlantans. The seasonal harvests are affordable, fresh, and free of pesticides. This fall, they’re harvesting basil, oregano, rosemary, broccoli, kale, turnip roots, and collards.
Atlanta’s Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill was the first of its kind for the metro area, integrating farming into the Browns Mill neighborhood, where access to fresh, affordable, healthy food choices was a 30-minute drive away for residents. With a grant from the U.S. Forest Service and the support of the city of Atlanta, the Conservation Fund, and Trees Atlanta, the farm provides over seven acres of seasonal nuts, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and mushrooms for community members. Visitors are welcome to the Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill and are encouraged to explore the orchard and the mushroom walk.
