If you connect with our Mission, the next step is to connect with us.
Shaome Cooperative is a community of people who want to give, teach, and equip others to grow healthy food. Our BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is to make Georgia the FIRST food-secure state in the nation.
It’s going to take all of us to achieve this goal.

Shaome Cooperative has 3 programs:

GROW

GROW stands for “Growing with Real Organic Wisdom,” and is an elementary school curriculum and growing experience with raised beds and a Food Forest. Multi-year participants can also learn about food distribution into their community.

Garden-to-table Initiative

Partnering with Turnkey Garden Solutions LLC, we provide turnkey kitchen gardens in underserved neighborhoods which include all the resources they need plus hands-on growing coaching from a Master Gardener.

GROW-TV

GROW-TV is our 24/7 online education available through our YouTube Channels. We post our own videos and suggest playlists of other growers we like.

What is a food forest?

learn more here

A Food Forest starts with a central element: a fruit or a nut tree, with up to 6 other layers under and around it. These layers, along with strategic contouring of the land to catch and manage water, create an ecosystem. Once a Food Forest is established, you can walk away from it and it will continue to produce food. As you can see, this is the only truly sustainable way to grow food for ourselves and future generations. While we use raised beds as teaching tools, it is our goal to establish as many Food Forests as possible…and to teach others to do the same.

Volunteer Now

At Shaome (pronounced “show me”) Cooperative, our ‘why’ is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves the ability to grow their own food.

We are committed to making Georgia the first food-secure state by literally putting seeds in the ground and providing the education and support needed to nurture those seeds into abundant harvests now and for generations to come.

We teach people how to grow their own food, not just give them food, fostering self-sufficiency and community resilience. 

By empowering individuals to cultivate their own sustenance, we build a stronger, more sustainable future for all Georgians. We invite you to join us!

I would like to volunteer with Shaome Co-op.
