Our
Members
Our members are more than just members; they are family and friends in our communities. We're more than a group of farmers and producers. We are also leaders and innovators in our community. We collaborate, share and grow, in so many ways, together as the West Georgia Farmers' Cooperative.
By working together, we help to bring awareness, knowledge and empowerment to our community so that we can solve problems. Get to know about a few of our featured members on this page by reading their introductions. Go one step further and join the movement as a member yourself.

We are the local source for Columbus and the Valley area to have access to farm to table fresh food choices. We are from the community, bonded to the community, and realize that some food choices are no longer available in the community. Our goal is make our growing product line of chef inspired, culturally relevant, made from scratch, always fresh, grab and go meals available within convenience stores of the many food insecure communities in our area. We believe everyone should have a choice for fresh food. Our love for community is the driving force behind our purpose and vision. website
