Advocating for food justice by connecting people to
Our Story...
Jackson Inspirations was founded by Dr. Cynthia Jackson. We use our 5 acre farm in Rockdale County, GA to raise animal friends and grow healthy food. We believe it is important to provide access to healthy foods and to help kids live healthy active lifestyles. Therefore, we work to provide a healthy community garden for the Rockdale residents and offer fun creative agricultural programs for kids beyond the classroom. Through service and intentionally being in community with one another, we can collectively make a great impact in the world.

Our farm is used for farm education
- In response to food insecurity and the lack of access to quality resources in underserved areas, our organization utilizes its farmland to grow and provide healthy foods.
- Just as Magnolia trees are firmly rooted, strong, and bloom beautiful flowers, our goal is to help raise young leaders who are physically strong and beautifully spirited by providing free access to healthy foods.
- We believe that access to healthy foods and living a healthy active life are basic human rights--and we are committed to providing a free community garden for local families.
Using land to provide quality foods to a local community and teach agricultural skills to children has the potential to make a great impact. Farmland can be used as a teaching tool, a means to strengthen partnerships, and can build connections across generations.
- We believe that agricultural education can help raise well-rounded future leaders. We have developed educational programs to include 1) Farm to Table Nutritional Program and 2) Farm + Climate Educational Program
- We also believe that kids should have hands-on experience and exposure to crops and farm life. Therefore, we are working to create a learning space that is fun, educational, and impactful.
- Giving means that we can depend on you to help provide kids with educational programming and farm experience at no cost to the child's family.
