We're Learning to Grow
Come Get Your
Hands Dirty
Grow food. Grow community. Grow together. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves, get your hands in the soil, and help build something meaningful? We created this farm to serve as a community resource to learn and grow alongside us. Our mission to grow food justice, nurture abundance, and reclaim community power through regenerative farming only comes true if we're growing with you.
Many people want to connect with the land, learn real farm skills, and make tangible impact in Atlanta’s food ecosystem., but nobody wants to labor for free, nor should they. Thanks to a grant from Food Well Alliance we offer a tiered reciprocity program for engaged volunteers to be compensated for their contributions.
Join Our Reciprocity Program
Your volunteer hours here at D'Best Urban Farm translate into credits that you can cash in when you're ready.
1HR of Work =
2 lbs Fresh Produce
5 Starter Plants
$10 Cash Stipend (Paid Monthly)
$15 Credit —> One Night Only Supper Club
Mix and match your credits. Get some produce, grab some plants, save your equity up for the ticketed events, or have a little more pocket money for your efforts. You'll receive more than experience for your help, you'll get the essence of your life supported.
