“Y’all are the reason we’re here,” said farmer EliYahu Ben Asa. When they realized they wouldn't be able to stay on the land they were leasing in Jonesboro, the Ysrael family wasn't sure where to turn. With funds from phase 2 of the Food Well Alliance farm grant last year, the family was able to make a down-payment on property in Ellenwood and revive their Atlanta Harvest Farm. Since then, things have steadily progressed. EliYahu is grateful to have a lot of growing space at the new farm. "We are really in line to grow a ton of food here. We grow because we know there is a need in our community. The more food we can grow, the more people we can feed."
