We are a community garden located in Mableton, Georgia. Our primary objective is to grow fresh produce and offer farm fresh eggs to people in need in our community. We have a 24/7 pantry available and accept donations from the community for this pantry also. We serve over 350 people a month and have donated over 9,000 pounds of food this year alone. We accept fresh produce, eggs, dry goods, pet food and pet supplies.
We can accept any donations 24/7 that fit inside our donation box. If you have a larger donation, please come Monday, Wednesday or Saturday from 9am to noon to have a staff member or volunteer accept your donation. Or you can call us to schedule a time that is convenient for you.
We have a donation box next to a donation refrigerator which you can use 24/7. If you have a donation too large for the box, we can arrange for a staff member or volunteer to meet you and accept the donation from you.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
