| Shaome Cooperative, Incorporated seeks to create food security for all people in Georgia through education, support (donated items), and helping one another (volunteer teams). We do this by helping people establish food forests in their backyards, communities, and also in local facilities (like prisons, recovery programs, women’s shelters, and more.) Through a network of like-minded people, businesses, and organizations, we provide education and support to empower people to both help themselves and also to provide for those people in their own communities who cannot grow food for themselves. Our BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is to make Georgia the FIRST FOOD SECURE STATE in the nation! If your core values align with ours, we ask you to join us! Please consider supporting us however you can, either through direction cash donation (monthly or one time), buying products in our Store (T-Shirts, hats, bags, etc.), volunteering your time, and praying for us. Soon we will have even more ways to help us help YOU and others! |

Our Core Values
- Soil– Care and Compassion: Shaome Cooperative embraces the value of nurturing, symbolizing care and compassion towards those they serve. Like nurturing a plant, we provide support, guidance, and resources to help individuals and communities achieve food security.
- Roots – Sustainability and Stability: Just as a strong root system provides stability and nourishment to a plant, we aim for sustainability and stability in all that we do. We prioritize building strong foundations, cultivating long-term relationships, and ensuring viability and resilience over time.
- Trunk – Support and Empowerment: The trunk is a tree’s support mechanism, and it represents the continuous process of improvement and development. We prioritize empowering individuals and communities to grow and succeed, providing opportunities for learning, skill-building, and sharing.
- Branches– Collaboration and Community: Just as branches extend outward to connect with others, Shaome Cooperative values collaboration and community engagement. We recognize the strength and diversity of partnerships, networks, and collective efforts in achieving shared goals and making a broader impact.
- Fruit – Impact and Results: The fruit symbolizes the tangible outcomes and impact of our efforts. Shaome Cooperative strives to bear fruit by making meaningful contributions to society, addressing pressing issues, and creating positive change in the lives of individuals and their communities.
