The rows of green beans, herbs, okra are ready to be harvested at Truly Living Well Natural Urban Farms on Washington Road, East Point.
And for folks who would like to learn more about natural and organic urban gardening, they are invited to a one-day class to get their hands dirty.
The farm, under the direction of K. Rashid Nuri, is putting on a beginner's course to get ready for fall planting. The class covers from soil prep and composting to seasonality and weed/insect control.
Truly Living Well Natural Urban Farms is an effort to “provide the local community with healthy, nutritious vegetables, fruits, and herbs grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other substances which have been proven harmful to one’s health and the earth that sustains us.”
It is part of a movement called Community Supported Agriculture, where a group of individuals or institutions support a farm by paying in advance for the produce. The supporters benefit from receiving “fresh-picked, wholesome, highly nutritious and above all, safe and delicious” produce throughout the growing season.
