Following in the footsteps of Fannie Lou Hamer's "Pig Bank," Project Village Green will be a pocket permaculture farm, rain collection facility, and artist studio in Atlanta. The project converts an abandoned or condemned property in a food and opportunity-scarce community, and redesigns the property into an active permaculture farm and artist studio. 

​

Project Village Green achieves these primary goals:

​

1. Grows and delivers free food to food insecure community members;

2. Provides a free space for a local artist to live and work for a 6-month residency;

3. Tests and perfects rain collection, permaculture, and indigenous crop growing systems for minimum carbon impact;

4. Keeps the property from either becoming a dangerous location for crime or (even worse) snatched up by gentrifiers.

Putting the culture in permaculture.
