'Big Organic Garden' Delivers Local Food to Your Doorstep

If you’ve been going through withdrawal ever since the Snellville Farmers Market closed for the season, you can get your local, organic produce fix any time through Big Organic Garden.

And they deliver.

Run by Melinda Hicks and Katrina Moseley, Big Organic Garden offers primarily Georgia-grown fruits and vegetables to its 80 or so customers. There is no commitment, and the produce is available year-round.

Moseley, a Snellville resident, is currently the managing partner, but as Hicks launches her new venture – Little Me Tea – Moseley is prepared to take on the task of ownership.

She began purchasing food from Big Organic Garden two years ago. She didn’t want to drive all the way into Decatur for the International Farmers Market, and she wasn’t satisfied with the look or taste of produce at local grocery stores. About a month after purchasing through Big Organic Garden, she received an email from Hicks asking if she would be interested in working for free food.

“The only requirement was a love of organics and a smiling face,” Moseley recalled.

It was a perfect fit.

“This is my gift and my calling,” she said.

Her customers are more than just customers; they are family, according to Moseley. Big Organic Garden is a community, and community is exactly what people crave. Her own passion for healthy eating and nutrition is contagious, and she loves to educate people on the benefit of eating – and living – organically.

Citing everything health benefit from fewer colds and bouts of the flu to more stable moods, Moseley considers her diet her health insurance. Our current healthcare system, according to Moseley, promotes longevity rather than life.
