Augusta Locally Grown supports small farms and gardeners by making their all-natural, locally-grown, fresh foods available for sale in the Augusta-area community.

HOW IT WORKS

Augusta Locally Grown is a modern-day farmer’s market.

Each week, our farmers and growers list their seasonally-available products on our website.

Depending on the time of year, this can include a wide variety of traditional and heirloom varieties of vegetables, fruits, meats, legumes, milled products, dairy, fresh flowers, mushrooms, eggs, herbs, honey, firewood, live plants, soaps and artisan goods.

Everything is fresh, local and naturally-grown.

Unlike co-ops, buying clubs, or CSAs where everyone gets the same box of stuff, with Locally Grown you order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from growers and farmers you’ll come to know as neighbors and friends.

Augusta Locally Grown is based on a nationally-recognized model program in Athens, GA. The Locally Grown network strives to find new and innovative ways to preserve greenspace, protect natural resources, support local economies, provide meaningful work and return to a more self-sufficient way of life.

PLACING ORDERS

Every Friday around Noon, a list of available products is sent by e-mail to everyone with an Augusta Locally Grown account. Customers may place their order for the week at any time after that email goes out, but no later than Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Orders are be placed via this website.

Farmers and growers receive their “harvest reports” by email each week, in time deliver to our market on Tuesday afternoons.

PICKING UP ORDERS

Pick up and pay for your order on Tuesdays, anytime between 4:00pm until 6:00pm, at the outdoor pavilion located on the grounds behind the Augusta Jewish Community Center in Evans, GA. Their address is 898 Weinberger Way, Evans.
