We Grow Food. We Grow People. We Grow Community.
Truly Living Well Center for Natural Urban Agriculture is committed to bringing good food, good health and well-being to Atlanta’s urban community.
Feeding people right where they live is our mission. Our guiding principles are to emulate nature in the production of food, to educate old and young to grow their own food, and to create a welcoming space where people can gather and find harmony with the earth.
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. When you join as a member of our CSA program you’re making a commitment to local agriculture by sharing the risks and rewards of the farming season with us. Each week we’ll prepare a box of seasonal produce grown by farmers. By prepaying for your fresh food, you’re helping us cover the cost of seeds and supplies we need to continue growing. Our CSA members are rewarded with the best we have to offer!
We will transition to our monthly farmer's market in April 2023.
Please join us for our farmer's market featuring organic produce, fresh flowers, local vendors, chef demos, music, farm tours, farm fitness, and children activities.
Ways to get involved at market
Musicians/Artists, Chefs/Cooks, Fitness Enthusiasts, and Community Organizations, are always needed to showcase their talents and provide resources to the community. Email info@trulylivingwell.com to participate.
Come out and enjoy the good vibes!
