Woodward Academy's Work & Learn at Indian Creek Market Farm!

This is part of their Maymester Program titled, “War Eagle Service: Flying High for Atlanta.” GGN worked in partnership with Woodward Academy's Middle School to deliver a curriculum that is designed to move beyond simple volunteerism.

In this program, the students actively study the root causes of social and environmental challenges in Atlanta and the vital role non-profits play in addressing community needs. Through hands-on experience in dry creek beautification mulching the pollinator garden, the students learned about holistic land stewardship practices. But to them, the highlight really was finding "Todd the turtle" and "Billy the Snake" under the dry creek beds!!

Last month in partnership with Georgia Organics we gathered at GGN’s Rockdale Organic Co-Farm for the kickoff of the SETOPP Partner Field Day Series.

Growers from a range of experience levels walked the grounds, learned from current stewards, and heard from NRCS agents about conservation practices and certification.

This Thursday, the series continues as we discuss building a farm business that lasts. We’ll see you at the farm!
