2. Become a Global Growers CSA member
Enjoy Fresh, Local Produce Delivered Every Week. Global Growers works with an incredible group of diverse local farmers who grow fresh produce in and around metro Atlanta. Each week, CSA members receive exclusive access to a varied selection of local, seasonal, organically-grown fruit and vegetables at a location convenient for you. They also offer extra local, artisanal products like pastured eggs, goat cheese, and honey. You can choose to receive a full bag ($25/week) or half bag ($18/week) from August-November (15 weeks total). Convenient pick-up points are offered around Atlanta, Decatur, Clarkston, and Stone Mountain. Still have questions? Learn more here.
At Global Growers, the community in CSA is particularly important – because you are partnering with a community of farmers who are building new lives for themselves, and new professions, in metro Atlanta. Many of the Global Growers farmers are war survivors who have been invited to build new lives in Georgia, and are supporting their family by drawing on generations of farming expertise. Others may have been born in the U.S., and are pursuing local farming as a way of rebuilding our local food economy. Altogether, the farmers at Global Growers are growing great things – and they rely on their CSA shareholders to help make it all happen!
The Derrydown Bridge is now open! Funded through the City of Decatur’s Sidewalk Improvement Program, this new bridge restores a key connection across Shoal Creek between Poplar Circle and Derrydown Way. Senior Engineer John Madajewski of the City’s Design, Environment & Construction Division managed the project and Ohmshiv Construction, LLC of Lawrenceville constructed the bridge, which cost approximately $79,000.
