AgLanta Eats Festival
As the landscape of urban agriculture, food access and food systems continues to grow & change, the team behind AgLanta Eats has decided to pause the event this year. We are committed to making adjustments and showing continued support for local growers, food entrepreneurs and enthusiasts alike with a revamped event in the future.
Not wanting to leave the community without a way to foster connections & celebrate the vibrancy of Atlanta’s urban agriculture, we present Tidbits: An Urban Agriculture Gathering.
Featuring discussions around various resources to support hyper-local food and a healthier food system to live music to chef tastings the event also includes networking space and valuable community-building where local growers and food-systems stakeholders share their knowledge and learn from one another while enjoying the beauty of the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Tickets on sale now!
