Our Mission is to cultivate a sustainable future in urban agriculture
Urban Farming serves a vital role in food security, community education & outreach
grow dudas, LLC purchased a .54-acre vacant residential lot in northwest Atlanta and is currently in the process of transforming it into a sustainable urban farm. grow dudas HQ, is located in the neighborhood of Carver Hills (NPU-G, Census Tract 87) where the current food insecurity rate is 17.3% compared to Fulton County's rate of 13.5%. Our farm will serve as a growing facility and educational site for the community to gather and learn how to grow their own food.
