AgLanta Grows-A-Lot Program:

The AgLanta Grows-A-Lot program, run by Groundwork Atlanta and the Mayor’s Office of Resilience, makes vacant properties owned by the City of Atlanta and Georgia Power available to urban farmer and community gardeners to put the land to productive use. The initiative aims to address issues of food access, environmental sustainability, and community development.

The lots are available for a 5-year lease with an option to renew for three more years. A total of 25 acres across the city, each site will grow fresh, healthy food and create economic opportunity for residents of the City of Atlanta. Sites are located throughout the city, including Campbellton, Bolton Road, Vine City, Venetian Hills, and Morningside.

Mayor’s Office of Resilience:

The Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Resilience works to make the City of Atlanta more resilient to the physical, social, and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century. The office will work with farmers and garden teams on their site plans, and have raised money to provide fencing and a water meter for each property.

Groundwork Atlanta:

Groundwork Atlanta’s mission is to bring about the sustained regeneration, improvement and management of the physical environment by developing community- based partnerships that empower people, businesses, and organizations to promote environmental, economic, and social well-being. They have tested the soil at each site to ensure it is safe to grow food, and will provide on-going consultation for growers utilizing each site.
