A Hero

 

Bobby Wilson knows the value of a vegetable. It’s why he founded Metro Atlanta Urban Farm, a nonprofit that provides healthy crops to low-income families, all grown on his five-acre farm in the heart of the city. Wilson created the farm in 2009 after 20 years of bringing gardens to public housing complexes and schools in Atlanta. With food costs rising, he knew low-income communities could enjoy fresh, healthy food at a lower price if they received it from him or grew it themselves. His efforts have been fruitful so far: During the pandemic, he fed 25,000 families who live near the farm and helped keep farmers of color afloat by purchasing the food they’d grown. Now, he offers free produce to families weekly and teaches them how to start their own gardens. "I saw the need," he said. "Plus, when you retire, you should do something you really enjoy."
