Olivia Amos of Bare Roots Champions "Food as Medicine" in Columbus

On the latest Georgia Foodcast, Skye Estroff spoke to Olivia Amos with Bare Roots about their amazing work feeding Columbus and championing the concept of “Food As Medicine” during the pandemic. During these daunting times, Olivia and the team have maintained their commitment to serving Columbus, a Georgia Food Oasis community, with the freshest, healthiest food.

While every day requires pivoting to adjust to the ever-changing pandemic landscape, Amos and her team have not stopped serving.

They now offer pickup and delivery of family meals at Bare Roots Bibb Cafe & Catering (follow to learn more & order), while also delivering meals for MercyMed Columbus patients and kicking off amazing campaigns like Nourish Columbus:

“#NourishColumbus is a campaign started by Columbus Botanical Garden that gives you an opportunity to donate produce from the CBG garden to Bare Roots for us to turn into healthy prepared meals for our neighbors at Truth Spring Academy in North Highland, who are food insecure.

…Showing compassion, kindness and love through food is where our heart is.”
