Growing Augusta: Arts, Agriculture, & Agency (GA) is a collective of artists, farmers, hobby growers, and community leaders; developing creative collaborations to build infrastructure in South Richmond County, Georgia. The GA team has created a marketplace for growers to sell products hyperlocally - within food-insecure communities, built an online platform at http://growingaugusta.co, secured a deal to open a co-op owned farmers market in South Augusta. Project lead Karen Gordon's appointment to the Augusta Georgia Land Bank Authority Board of Directors places these concerns at the forefront of discussions about economic development in Richmond County. Growing Augusta supports the development of a regional Black Farmer Co-op by hosting regular meetings, field days, and classes throughout the community.
