New Grower! Contigo Gardens
Note from Grower:
My name is Caleb and my wife Jessica and I started the garden in 2019 with the goal of serving the best tasting and healthy vegetables! After spending time working as a Paramedic, I have seen the importance of healthy food choices and how diet can affect health. Along my own journey of learning to make healthier food choices, I began to garden and have found that I love to share beautiful food with others. We strive to grow the best way by using only natural organic methods and harvest the produce for maximum freshness. Our hope is that together we can experience the best local food, and we really appreciate all of your support. Thank you and Enjoy!

New Vendor! Pure Abundance Cashew Cheese
Hi there! We produce our artisanal vegan cheese at our Cheese Lab in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward. We combine traditional methods with modern technology to create cultured and aged Cashew Cheese that’s kind to your body and our planet.
How do we do it? Organic cashews and supporting ingredients are blended with a vegan probiotic culturing agent and aged in our cheese cave for 11 days. A complex and satisfying flavor profile emerges as the magic of chemistry transforms a few simple ingredients into exquisite cheese
If your past experience of vegan cheese was something bland and heavily processed, you’re in for a treat. This is not that! Pure Abundance fans are omnivores, vegans, and everyone in between.
Contactless Delivery Available
We’ve upgraded the website so that when you checkout you will be presented with two options:
1. Local Pickup – This is the default selection if you come to pick up your items in the store.
2. Home Delivery – The charge for delivery will be displayed next to the option.
- $10.00 for all deliveries within 10 miles of the store. Deliveries beyond 10 miles are pro-rated for the additional distance.
- If you place multiple orders over the course of the weekend, you only need to select the Home Delivery option once.
- Your orders are still combined automatically for delivery.
- Fresh Harvest- If you are expecting a Fresh Harvest bin just add a note at the bottom of your order on the Checkout page. That way I can let Gary know and he will deliver it with your market order items.
- If you have a gated entrance PLEASE let Gary know ahead of time.

Words from my heart
Coronavirus Precautions
We are trying to do our part to part to prevent Coronavirus from spreading to our community.
Changes to pick up:
1. We are limiting to 3 shoppers at a time inside the store in order to keep you and our employees safe. We ask that you keep the recommended 6 feet distance from others. If it's your first time picking up please note that our employees are not wearing masks. If you are uncomfortable with this please consider our Contactless Delivery option (details above). We are doing our best to keep everyone safe and comfortable during these unique times. Thank you for your understanding
2. Fresh Harvest Bins - If you have a Fresh Harvest delivery and would like us to leave your bin outside the store, please email me by Tuesday evening. That way I can let the delivery driver know which bins to leave outside in front of the store. My only concern is the risk of theft. We'll do what we can to keep an eye on them but can not be held responsible. We're trying to do the best we can with the situation.
3. We ask that you please refrain from touching store items except those that belong to you or that you choose to purchase in the store. If you have any questions, please ask an employee for help.
4. No Egg Cartons or recyclable items will be taken until further notice.
In addition, as we've been doing for the past weeks, we will be constantly wiping down door handles, shopping carts, Ipad screen, and tables.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PATIENCE AS WE GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER!
Wednesday pick up time frame will remain from 1 pm to 8 pm but we are reducing our other weekday hours.
Volunteers
Many of you have offered to help Volunteer at the market and we will graciously accept your help but after we get thru the coronavirus crisis. We would love help assisting members during pick up and explaining to new members the pick up process. Once it's safe to have more than 6 people in the store at a time I will ask for additional volunteers on Wednesdays.
