Our Programs
Supporting Montgomery’s Gardens & Gardeners
Organic Gardening 101, Backyard Livestock, DIY Rain Barrel Building, Growing Your Own Transplants - these are just a few of the free gardening workshops offered each year at E.A.T. South. We also organize special events like our annual Seedy Saturday Seed Swap and tomato plant give aways. Check our calendar or Facebook page for workshop and event information.

Community Composting
Our goal is to produce enough compost at the farm for all of our needs and eventually share compost with our garden community. We need your kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, brown paper and more.
Contact Farmer Amanda if you would like to join our composting program and start bringing your scraps to the farm.

Community Center Gardens
In 2025, E.A.T. South began working with gardeners in Sheridan Heights to plan and build a new community-focused garden at the Sheridan Heights Community Center. We are planning gardens for other Community Centers in 2026.

Art from the Garden
Bread and Roses! E.A.T. South grows food for the body and for the soul. Since 2021, we’ve learned to grow plants to make dyes and paints. We share what we learn through free art classes for the community. We are grateful to the Support the Arts License Tag Grant for providing resources that help us learn, teach, and grow.
