Spring Time at Wheat Street Garden

Rashid Nuri, Urban Farmer, Founder, Truly Living Well


We try to get out to Wheat Street at least once a month, but work on our documentary, GROW! kept us away. These photos are from our first spring visit. Scroll down and you'll be able to see the progress. Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, farm staff and donations, the farm is now up and running and selling vegetables every Friday from 3-7 p.m. off Auburn Ave. at 75 Hilliard Street N.E. Atlanta, 30312.
Starting in June, there will be 3 sessions of Summer Camp, a fun-filled opportunity for kids 7-14 to learn all about growing food along with participating in games, art, swimming, and to keep them on their toes, a little reading and writing.

Atlanta's first urban organic farm!

55 raised beds sit on concrete pads of the former low income housing project

On a vacant lot in downtown Atlanta where low income housing projects once stood, Rashid Nuri, Visionary, Urban Farmer and Educator is realizing his dream of an urban organic farm. The 4 acre site is leased from the historic Wheat Street Baptist Church. The vision for the farm includes 100 fruit trees, vegetables, beehives and flowers, bringing beauty and much needed fresh food to an area that could be described as a food desert. The farm will provide, not only food, but also educational and work opportunities for the neighborhood.
The seed money for the project was provided by the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation and the EPA. Since the groundbreaking on December 5th, in-kind and monetary donations are helping to keep the project going and expanding. There's still lots to do.
If you'd like to help contact Rashid at: admin@trulylivingwell.com
