CMB runs a community garden in Atlanta where we grow food, provide community plots for neighbors, and offer workshops to youth and community groups about the importance of locally grown food, the negative impact of food deserts on our communities, the benefits of healthy eating, and taking ownership of one's food supply.
We plan to build hoop-houses on other properties we own and an aquaponics program to create a micro-business for youth in the community. |
We are seeking to establish a permanent, multi-vendor farmer's market that will serve poor and working-class Black communities. We are currently establishing two pilot farmers markets; one in a Black, low-income senior housing complex and the other in the lot of a community grocery store.
CMB's goal is to increase the amount of freshly available food to the community, educate community members healthy diets and strengthening the area’s local food network. Our ultimate goal is the creation of a cooperatively owned grocery store. |
