Gaia Gardens is a community farm, owned by East Lake Commons Co-housing community and run by an independant farmer. The farm is 5 acres, including hillsides, forest fragments, and an acre spring-fed pond. The 1.5 acre growing space is a patchwork of fields dedicated to rotations that include an intensive cover cropping schedule. Produce is sold via a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, and at the East Atlanta Village Farmers' Market. Through cooperation with 5-Seasons Brewery and restaurant in Atlanta, Gaia composts spent grains to supplement fertility and organic matter in the soil.
