Most of downtown Augusta lies in a food desert.

More than 30% of residents in this area don’t own a car, and the nearest grocery store is more than two miles away. Residents often shop at convenience stores where the only option is packaged or frozen foods. These stores don’t offer healthy options like fresh produce, dairy, or meat.

We’re growing hope for downtown Augusta at our Urban Farm. 40 raised beds, a flock of chickens, and a greenhouse provide fresh produce and eggs for farm-to-table meals at The Master’s Table. Our team also offers educational sessions for the whole community on gardening and nutrition. A robust composting and vermiculture system and organic farming methods helps keep our operation clean and sustainable and provide even more opportunities for learning.
