Fresh produce and unity: Austell's agriculture plan takes root - 11Alive
/
Austell is sowing the seeds for a sustainable future, thanks to a $75,000 grant from the Food Well Alliance, to develop a comprehensive City Agriculture Plan. The initiative aims to bolster access to fresh, local food while fostering community engagement and education.
At the heart of this effort is Pat Maxwell’s Place, a restaurant located at 2710 Jefferson Street. Owner Nick Robertson is part of Austell's steering committee for the agriculture plan and a hands-on advocate for local food initiatives. Robertson’s restaurant integrates produce from its onsite garden into its menu and cocktails and is transforming into a future farmers market, offering fresh, locally grown options to the community.
