An Initiative To Feed Atlanta
City Farm ATL
City Farm ATL transforms a traditional school garden into a vibrant, community-centered urban farm—a living laboratory for education, sustainability, and entrepreneurship serving District 11 schools and surrounding neighborhoods. This initiative blends agricultural innovation with digital learning, creating opportunities for youth and families to grow food, share knowledge, and strengthen local food systems.
City Farm ATL is designed to inspire the next generation of urban growers by connecting agriculture, STEAM education, and business development through hands-on and virtual experiences.
