Moving Local Food Forward

Fresh, local food is hard to find - and expensive. Farmers are sometimes forced to make the difficult decision to throw out or plow up a crop rather than harvest it when the market is volatile. And, 1 in 7 Georgians experiences food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children.

We are woman and minority-owned B Corp and social enterprise that strives to make local food more accessible and affordable, directly supports our communities’ farmers, reconnects consumers to their food and their planet, and feeds families and individuals struggling with food insecurity. We are tackling the huge wasted food issue and its implications and impact on the environment while also tackling economic development in rural and local communities as well as hunger in our communities through a differently-focused business model.

Retaaza operates as a hyper local food distributor who also buys farmers' surplus food, preventing it from being landfilled and assisting our diverse group of local farmers by creating new market opportunities for their food. We ensure purchasing local food is easy and affordable for all of our client partners (no matter their size). These relationships allow us to fund food access work in communities across the state. We deliver everything from traditional wholesale orders to nutrition boxes, break room programs, employee benefits, holiday boxes, and much more.
