My visit to Truly Living Well Natural Urban Farms (TLW)

Founded by K. Rashid Nuri

 

Let's say, I was thinking of making the ultimate salad and wanted really fresh greens to work with. Well I went to TLW. It's was a very enlightening and educational experience.

I assisted with planting some garlic and watched Swiss Chard being planted. And I was interviewed by a local reporter from Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper and so was K. Rashid Nuri. It was literally a history lesson in all that good and more about organic farming and eating locally. My basket was full with romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, melt in your mouth brocolli raab, argula,okra, green onions, and pecans so fresh like I have never had them before. Everything was just picked and full of flavor. TLW grows only what's in season and all organic produce. There are many ways to shop and contribute to TLW you can become a r, volunteer and shop on Wednesdays from 3pm-6pm visit www.trulylivingwell.com; call 404 520 833; 3353
