Welcome, Farmers!
The Farm Resource Center at Food Well Alliance equips urban farmers across metro Atlanta with tools they need to succeed.
We offer a variety of resources and direct support throughout the year:
Tools
Check out BCS tractors and attachments through our partnership with the Atlanta ToolBank. Start by registering for a training session.
Mechanical Assistance
Have a bigger project for your farm? Tractor operator Small Farmer at Large can help. See how to request mechanical assistance.
Farm Labor Support
We currently offer farm support through our Farm Labor Stipends. Learn more about eligibility and how to apply.
Farm Compost
The 2025 compost delivery request period is now closed. Requests will reopen in 2026, so stay tuned for more information.
Farm Grant Applications Are Open!
In 2026, Food Well Alliance aims to deploy a total of $282,000 in Farms Grants through two types of support: an $8,000 Farm Support Grant for 29 farms and a larger $25,000 Farm Forward Grant for two farms undertaking significant capacity building. These 2 categories of farm grant support ensure that Food Well is reaching a large number of farms across metro Atlanta with funding support, while also providing the opportunity for a couple of farms to take on larger projects to move their farms forward in growing healthy, local food for others.
Applications are now open for 2026 Farm Grants. Applications for the 2026 Farm Grant are due by January 11, 2026 at 11:59 PM.

Request an Orchard Planting
Food Well is dedicated to increasing the sustainability of community gardens and urban farms. We believe community orchards are a powerful way to grow long-term food access, especially in spaces where food production hasn’t yet taken root.
Farms can apply for an orchard planting at no cost. In return, the orchard must directly benefit the surrounding community through food donations, public harvests, or community education. Learn more about eligibility and submit your application here.

Local Farmers Markets
Farmers Markets bring people together around fresh, seasonal food grown and produced with the hard work and care of local farmers and food producers. There are several local farmers markets where you can not only sell your produce, but also build connections with customers, share knowledge and help connect people how their food is grown.
You can find a list of farmers markets around the five-county Metro Atlanta area here.
