History
TLW was founded in 2006 by K. Rashid Nuri to meet the fresh food needs of families in the local Atlanta community. The objective was to bring nutritionally-rich, fresh-picked produce to local residents through a community supported agriculture program. Rashid tapped Eugene Cooke, a master farmer with international training, to help develop sustainable urban farms in Metro Atlanta. In 2007, TLW received non-profit status. The work of TLW then expanded to include agricultural education and training. The Truly Living Well Center builds communities by providing healthy food, agricultural education and job creation. Our model supports urban economic development through growth of local businesses. TLW is a model for a local sustainable food system. Creating food abundance is the foundation for community food security and self-sufficiency. Truly Living Well demonstrates the viability of producing high quality, naturally grown fruits and vegetables in the urban environment.
