Growing Food. Growing Community.
Goodness Gracious Grocery brings neighbors together through locally grown food, community markets, and Farm Your Yard. We grow, teach, and connect so more families can help shape how their community is fed.
We’re Growing a Community-Powered Food Future
Goodness Gracious Grocery is growing food and growing our community’s ability to feed itself. Based in East Augusta, we connect neighborhood growers, local farmers, and families through Farm Your Yard, community markets, and hands-on food education. Now, we’re growing mushrooms, too.
Help Us Grow What Comes Next
We’re growing a future where more Augusta neighborhoods can feed themselves, and we’re seeking funding and partners to help it take root. Your support will help Goodness Gracious Grocery expand mushroom production, equip neighborhood growers through Farm Your Yard, and provide hands-on training that connects growing food with earning income. We’re also seeking technology partners to help small growers plan crops, track harvests, and connect with buyers, with practical support that meets people where they are. Together, we can grow more food, create opportunities for local growers, and bring fresh harvests to more community tables. Invest in neighborhood growers. Help build a stronger local food system.
Our Work
Farm Your Yard
Grow food. Feed your neighbors. Strengthen your community. We help residents turn yards into productive growing spaces with hands-on guidance and support. We buy back what they grow to share and sell through our community markets, keeping fresh food and food dollars close to home.
Community Market
Fresh food. Local farmers. Community roots. Shop local, seasonal produce and connect with your neighbors.
Want to get involved? Tell us what interests you—from becoming a market vendor to joining classes and community activities.

Goodness Gracious: Your Local Food Cooperative
At Goodness Gracious Grocery, we’re growing good food and helping our neighbors grow it, too. Our community market brings together our own mushrooms and produce, harvests from Farm Your Yard growers and local and regional farmers, and handmade goods from community makers.
Soon, we’ll expand our offerings to include organic options and ethically sourced meat and dairy that meet our Goodness Guarantee.
Whether you’re shopping at the market or learning to grow at home, you’re helping keep food dollars close to home and building our neighborhoods’ ability to feed themselves.
