Tour the grounds of two Global Growers sites during Farm Fondo on Sunday, Sep. 27. 🚴🌾 Get a first look at what a network of over 200 growers and food system leaders are cultivating in Decatur. 🌱About the sites: What began in 2010 as a single shared plot cultivated by newly resettled Burundian refugee families in Clarkston has grown into Global Growers Network, a nonprofit supporting refugee and immigrant farmers across metro Atlanta. The organization’s mission centers on strengthening the local food economy while honoring the diverse agricultural traditions its farmers carry with them, giving families a path to income, heritage food, and a renewed connection to the land. You can preview the farm and purchase directly from @globalgrowers the day before, during their “pay-what-you-can” market open to all! Info on the last slide. 🚴About the event: “Fondo” is a group bike ride with multiple stops. This fall, @communityfarmersmarkets is partnering with @patagoniaatl, @globalgrowers, and @rar.atlanta for the third installment of Farm Fondo, an urban farm bike ride to learn about Atlanta’s farms and growing spaces, culminating in a family-style on-farm dinner.
