Mission:

Atlanta Harvest is committed to producing naturally-grown food in the city. With an innovative high-tunnel farm design, we supply the city of Atlanta with fresh, leafy greens.

Summary: 

Atlanta Harvest presents a unique turnkey opportunity for an experienced farmer to purchase a fully operational urban farm in the heart of Atlanta. The farm features 6 -150’ High Tunnels. These tunnels are optimized for ventilation and can produce year-round. Although many potential models could fit the space, the farm currently functions as a wholesale lettuce producer, regularly growing 1,500 pounds of lettuce per week for several established wholesale customers. During peak production, monthly revenues can average $12,000.

Current ownership is dedicated to local farming, and wants to provide a dedicated farmer with a long-term ownership opportunity. Ownership doesn’t have farm expertise, and wants to transfer ownership to someone who does. 

Business Details:

-We grow 6 varieties of lettuce using an intensive rotational program. We sell in 6# cases with consistent production of 150-200 cases per week, with peak production at around 275 cases per week. The product is grown in a soil mix that is refreshed with compost either made on property or purchased off-site.

-We are the only local grower that produces commercial quantities of lettuce year-round in the Atlanta area.

-We sell to wholesale food distributors and other prepared meal providers. We have built and maintained key relationships with our customers, which can be seamlessly transferred to new ownership.

-1 full-time employee (Leaving in September) 4 part-time employees (averaging  80 hrs per week)

-The farm is located on an industrial lot in South Atlanta. We don’t own the property, but we have secured a lease with the landowner for the next 2-3 years at a very reasonable rate.
