Community Partnerships
The Common Market Initiatives in Georgia, Alabama & Beyond
The Common Market Southeast's team leads and collaborates with diverse partners to improve food access and build health and wealth in communities. To learn more about our programs, or to partner with The Common Market on your local food initiative please contact bill@thecommonmarket.org or call (678) 343-9525 ext. 21.
The Georgia ACRE Collective
The Georgia ACRE Collective works to advance agriculture, community, resilience and equity through values-based procurement. Funded by The Rockefeller Foundation, this Georgia-based initiative centers on garnering purchasing commitments from Atlanta-area anchor institutions, while shifting procurement to producers that share the institutions’ values. The purchasing power of these Atlanta institutions creates economic opportunity for sustainably grown food produced by Black farmers, women farmers and others historically excluded from wholesale markets.
For more information, visit The Georgia ACRE Collective landing page, or contact The Georgia ACRE Collective Project Manager, Emily Hennessee at emily@thecommonmarket.org.
Food Access Fund
To become a partner in our program please complete our Food Access Fund Application.
The Common Market's Southeast team seeks partners to join us in making good food accessible and affordable. We can provide a 25% discount on good food purchases to qualifying organizations that are:
- Mission driven (nonprofit/501(c)3 or social enterprise)
- Community-based
- Committed to expanding food access, building health and wealth and/or alleviating food insecurity
- Led by and/or works closely with community members most impacted by limited food access
- Majority of food purchased with discount goes directly to community members most impacted by limited food access
- It might be difficult for this organization to source from The Common Market without this discount in place
Community Farm Stands
A farm stand is a temporary, on-site set up of fresh local foods for sale at your hospital, school or community organization. The Common Market Farm Stand is a completely flexible program where you can choose when your farm stand runs, how often, and what local products are best suited for your community members.
The Common Market Farm Stand program can:
• Help your organization plan and organize an on-site farm stand
• Supply seasonal ordering and pricing tips and promotional materials to get the word out
• Deliver fresh, sustainable, local products directly to your location!
To bring a farm stand to your organization, please contact our outreach team at gasales@thecommonmarket.org.
Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program
As a partner in Wholesome Wave Georgia's Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program (FVRx), The Common Market Southeast is helping to incorporate local food into a unique, multifaceted intervention that changes the way we approach health, medicine, and nutrition.
Through the FVRx, doctors provide participants with prescriptions for weekly shares of fresh produce at Grady Hospital. The evidence-based food-as-medicine model provides affordable access to healthful foods to prevent and treat chronic diet-related illnesses, all while supporting sustainable food systems.
Georgia Grown
The Common Market Southeast is a proud Member of Georgia Grown. The program, powered by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, is desired by business and consumers who want to buy and promote Georgia’s locally grown products.
