Harvest Village LLC - A Hidden Treasure

As you ascend the driveway of Harvest Baptist Tabernacle, you’ll find an unassuming corrugated metal building. It could be mistaken for a church gym or other functional building, but your feelings will change as you enter. There is a warmth there. Like you’ve just bumped into an old friend, but it’s the feeling you get from everyone you meet, whether they are staff or customers. It’s as if something beyond flesh and blood is driving this connection, and honestly – in our current climate – this feeling is becoming rare.

Harvest Village, LLC is not affiliated with Harvest Baptist Tabernacle, but the church has allowed them to use the space. So, who is Harvest Village LLC? “We are a group of concerned community members, who want to enhance life for Clayton County,” said Erica Zakamerek. “We offer these services for less than their value in the hopes that this will impact lives and make things better for people by giving access to things they wouldn’t normally get to access. Your community becomes larger because of the shared experience.” I think this is the feeling of connection that is present here. Whether you are accessing classes, presentations, or pop-up markets, you are also experiencing a larger community and shared experience.

Since 2024, Harvest Village has offered everything from sourdough classes and Pilates to sewing and pottery classes. When asked, “What have been some of your best moments?,” Erica said, “When I see a grandma sitting next to a child and grandchild - the multi-generational opportunities are what I love to see.”

So, what specific opportunities does Harvest Village offer to homeschoolers? Many of the classes align with the classes that homeschoolers are looking for and are offered at an affordable price. What’s more, Harvest Village is open to suggestions, since they are a community that is looking to grow. It’s a growing organization that first offered classes just a few days a week and now has something to offer daily. The goal for the future is to offer classes from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. If you are interested in joining them to attend a class or start a class, reach out at: Https://www.harvestvillage.com/
