Southeast: We’re moving in with @commonmkt!
See you there for stories of resilient farms and vibrant communities from across our regions!
Thanks for being a part of this community!
Thank you to @CommonMarketSE, @WholesomeWaveGA, Unearthing Farm and Market, as well as Fresh MARTA markets for supporting Grow the Good ATL! We couldn’t do this work without you! ❤️
Thank you @CommonMarketSE for supporting our mission & enabling us to host a FREE produce giveaway distributing 75+ bags of fresh produce at Unearthing Farm & Market last weekend. We also had food demos, games and other festivities for the community. 🥕🥬 🍓 🍋 #growthegoodatl

We are grateful to the #farmworkers across our regions that work so hard to provide our communities a safe + bountiful food supply!
We seek out #supplychain partners that place value on #workersrights, and we gain an understanding of their practices at onboarding.
We honor the many hardworking farmers and farmworkers that keep agriculture in our region vibrant. #NationalAgricultureDay is the perfect time to recognize the irreplaceable value that these agricultural stewards bring to our land and food systems! #AgDay22
We honor the many women involved in maintaining food systems that work for all, including our founding CMSE team member, Susan Pavlin, and our co-founder Tatiana Garcia-Granados! #LeadtheWay#WomensHistoryMonth
Meet @PavlinSusan! She founded @globalgrowers, that connects families to land, education, & markets. She also established @CommonMarketSE, connecting sustainable farmers to the institutions & communities seeking to purchase local food!
#WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/QZfCkltR09
This #internationalwomansday, we honor all the women that make up the food community, across our regions, for their passion, resilience, and meaningful contributions to feeding us all. We could not move toward a more equitable, sustainable food system without them!
At The Common Market, we recognize the role high-quality, local food can play in nutrition and overall good health. This #NationalNutritionMonth, we invite you to partner with us to give your communities access to fresh, local, nutritious food!
Working Farms Fund has helped 25 small, organic farmers preserve and cultivate 355 acres of farmland around Atlanta, launching new generations of growers and a healthy locally produced food scene. Could Philly be next? —w/ @loveislovefarm https://t.co/jbhIk4x8SR
Purchasing from The Common Market translates to healthy communities and viable, vibrant family farms! It is our honor to distribute these certificates of support to our partners each year, demonstrating meaningful impact, and demand for fresh, local food in our communities!
