This past weekend, Retaaza had a great time participating in the pre-festivities for Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, hosted right here in Atlanta!

To celebrate the big game and the spirit of community, we popped up a Retaaza farm stand at Food Well Alliance’s community farm in Leila Valley, a South Atlanta neighborhood. Volunteers and guests enjoyed the best of Georgia’s summer harvest — farm bags filled with  peaches, bell peppers, and rescued cherry tomatoes.

The day was a true team effort. Food Well Alliance, the Atlanta Braves, MLB, and Atlanta Housing came together to host a volunteer day that helped shape the farm into a vibrant gathering space for the community. Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to:

• Assemble a grow tunnel for a future orchard
• Build and fill raised garden beds
• Install deer fencing and bird boxes
• Paint stairways and create welcoming pathways

It was a beautiful example of what collaboration across Braves Country can accomplish — bringing people together with a side of baseball, farming, and shared purpose!

Thank you to our partners and all the volunteers who made it a day to remember. Go Braves!
