WElcome to EBC CSA Community!
EBC CSA, powered by The Black Church Food Security Network, Bread & Butter Farms, Choose Healthy Life, & iEatMorePlants®, is designed to be a faith-centric community solution to help address food apartheid in Atlanta's 4th ward through The Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. The EBC CSA does this by bringing affordable, local, fresh, organic, nutrient-dense produce right to the church every Sunday along with a master-level naturopathically trained Food as Medicine Nutritionist! The role of the Food as Medicine Nutritionist is to optimize the farm-to-table experience with practical nutrition, health education, and overall clinical community nutrition.
You will enjoy many of the fresh fruits and vegetables you love. You will also explore produce you may have never tried before to help increase your knowledge and awareness of the vast varieties of whole plant foods available, all while diversifying your gut microbiome and understanding of how to build simple, delicious and nutrient-dense heart healthy, gut loving, brain boosting, immune boosting, diabetic & weight-loss friendly whole plant food meals.
Each week you can look forward to a wide variety of fruits such as pears, peaches, plums, persimmons, figs, melons, as well as mushrooms, and an assortment of vegetables including collards, kale, chard, turnips, mustard greens, corn, eggplant, radish, beets, onions, sweet potatoes, and so much more!
Meet the Black Farmers of Bread and Butter Farms whose labor of love and generational legacy made this CSA possible. Thank you Farmers!
