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;
  
• 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
