An increasing number of Atlanta and Decatur restaurants are embracing sustainable eating habits from Georgia farms and producers, which is great news! For the past few months, I’ve been compiling my own little list of local Atlanta restaurants that buy locally and support our Georgia farmers with the intention of publishing it eventually after establishing a more substantial list, but then I came across a blog today by the name of the Georgia Green Dining Guide. And they’ve done all the work! Or at least are in the process of eating their way through Atlanta’s environmentally-friendly restaurants. So you should check out their blog! I’ll definitely be checking back.
In the meantime, here is a small list of local Atlanta restaurants who buy from local Georgia farms. I will continue to update this list and encourage you to leave a comment below and let me know where you go for your favorite local Atlanta food!
- Park Tavern has Georgia-grown chicken on the menu
- Watershed in Decatur
- Bacchanalia on the west side
- Leon’s Full Service buys food from Whipporrwill Hollow Farms (I talked to Hilda at the Decatur Organic Farmers’ Market one afternoon and she had a delivery of lettuce to drop off after the market closed)
Coming soon is a feature article on Atlanta’s own Green Foodservice Alliance, and organization changing the face of sustainable restaurant practices in Atlanta with Zero Waste Zones, recycling, composting, and more!
