We cultivate more than six acres in a diverse array of vegetables primarily for farmers markets in Atlanta, but also for restaurants and wholesale. We additionally grow cut flowers, herbs, and shiitake mushrooms and raise bees for honey.
Cosmos officially started in 2011 and has been fortunate enough to continue grow every year since. We use sustainable practices to grow vegetables in order to do our part in keeping the land, ourselves, and the community healthy…as this is all we have!

Apprentice all-stars
We’ve worked with many talented people over the years! Cosmos Farm is seeking full-time apprentices to work from February or March through November.
Apprentices will receive an intense learning/training experience where they are immersed in all aspects of farm production and life. Apprentices who complete a season should leave the farm feeling confident in their ability to produce a diverse array of vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, and flowers from seed to sales on a small farm scale.
Apprentices can expect 4-5 days/week of field work and harvesting, depending on the season, and 1-2 days working a farmers market (i.e. typically one day off a week not including chores) totaling 35-60 hours/wk. The work is strenuous and can at times be monotonous and repetitive (as it is at any working farm).
