Hello, my name is Jonathan Harris. Currently I'm a member of West Georgia Farmers' Cooperative. I've been gardening for 8 years. My passion is Fruit trees. I also grow a variety of vegetables., such as collards, peppers, melons etc. I enjoy creating positive memories in the garden.

I am a baker and a farming enthusiast; like the idea of farming, I understand the importance of local farmers in our community and value the products that can be grown. My role within the West Georgia Farmers' Cooperative is that of a “value added producer”. I take the crops that our farmers grow and products made by other people in the Cooperative and turn them into delicious baked goods, like cupcakes, poundcakes, mini Bundts and other desserts treats.

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
