Let’s Reimagine How Clarkston Grows!
In a time of rapid redevelopment in metro Atlanta, the pressure on urban farms and community gardens has increased dramatically. In partnership with Atlanta Regional Commission, Food Well Alliance will embark on a pilot project that brings together local governments and communities across the five-county metro Atlanta region to create a city-wide plan that incorporates agriculture into the next phase of their development.
Come share your ideas and hear from metro Atlanta urban farmers and local food experts about the value that community gardens and farms can bring to the City of Clarkston as it grows and develops.
Here's what to expect:
- Networking + locally-sourced refreshments
- Welcome from Food Well Alliance and Atlanta Regional Commission
- What is a City Agriculture Plan?
- Hear from metro Atlanta food experts about their work
- Community group breakout!
- Next Steps
Why here? Why now?
Watch a video to see how you can help create the city we all want to live in.

The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from our founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation and through the vision of Jim Kennedy and Bill Bolling. Together, they saw an opportunity to connect members of Atlanta's local food movement to collectively build a healthier community. Food Well Alliance exists to bring this vision to life.
