E.A.T. South is Montgomery’s Urban Teaching Farm. This farm was approved as a CCMGA project on December 8, 2020. 

The Farm is part of the City Parks Department but the educational aspect is a nonprofit which is funded by donations and grants. It was started in 2012 and has grown to include a greenhouse, more than 2500 square feet of vegetable production space (raised beds and containers), fruit trees, a large apiary, chicken coop, dye garden and community compost system. In a non-covid year, close to 3000 children learn about plants and healthy eating through field trips, after school programs and summer camps. Hundreds of adults participate in workshops, seed swaps, and volunteer projects. E.A.T. South grows all of its own transplants and donates hundreds of plants to community gardens as well as assisting the Master Gardener’s plant sale.

Master Gardeners have donated hundreds of hours primarily to educating children but also maintaining the garden and building wheelchair accessible garden beds.
