why we’re here

Roswell residents, Tony & Shari Martin purchased the 7 acres of Martin’s Garden at Coleman Farms in 2015 with the goal of creating a special place to encourage healthy living for their family and the community and to support charitable organizations.  Over the last ten years, with the help of their farmers, and a great community of volunteers they have transformed the property to include a bountiful one-acre garden that sold fresh vegetables to the local community and donated produce to local charities.  Of course, it wouldn’t be a farm if we didn’t also add a small menagerie of goats, sheep and chickens to the landscape.   We love having children visit our furry and feathered friends when parents come by to pick up their veggies.

Beginning in the Fall of 2026, we will be changing gears slightly. We will continue to offer our CSA through our wonderful partnership with our long-time friends at Love is Love Cooperative Farm (will start taking orders in mid to late August). Love is Love provides the very highest quality vegetables and it’s a great way to obtain consistent produce during the growing seasons. With respect to the farmland here at 410 Coleman Road, we are currently taking proposals to offer the resources on a low-cost basis to experienced farmers, other ag producers or nonprofits. Details can be found in the “Our Land, Your Mission” section of the website.

Finally, Martin’s Garden continues to use the property to host a limited number of charity events.    We wanted to have a special place that encourages people to connect to their neighbors, the earth as source of their food and to those in need.  Thanks so much for being interested in our mission, vision and veggies!
