From atlantatoolbank.org/tool-lending-program/urban-ag ↗About this program
The Atlanta ToolBank has partnered with Food Well Alliance to launch Atlanta's first Urban Agriculture Tool Lending Program. In response to the needs of local food leaders, and with the generous support of Whole Foods Market, community gardeners and urban farmers now have access to heavy-duty professional-grade tools.
Food Well Alliance is a collaborative network of local leaders working together to build thriving community gardens and urban farms. Interested farmers, gardeners, and local food organizations can learn more about Food Well Alliance and the shared Urban Ag Tool Lending Program HERE.
The Atlanta ToolBank currently carries 4 heavy-duty BCS tractors and 13 attachments. The BCS tractor is the power source that operates the range of attachments suited to our member agencies needs and circumstance.
