PLACE is an Athens-based non-profit organization whose mission is to promote a strong, accessible local food culture in Athens.  

We do that by:

• creating opportunities to celebrate local food;
  
• creating opportunities to grow and eat locally;
  
• developing and facilitating educational opportunities around food; and
  
• networking community members, organizations, and institutions to create, maintain, and strengthen mutually beneficial relationships that build a strong local food culture.

But you, as a citizen and consumer, are the one who can really make a difference by:

• buying and eating local foods; 
• sharing meals with friends and family;
• meeting the fine folks growing your food;
• trying your hand at growing your own;
• starting or joining a community garden;
• volunteering at a school garden;
• learning more about why going local matters;
• becoming an advocate for local food; or
• making a charitable donation to PLACE
