Farmers markets happening this week around metro Atlanta
There are dozens of farmers markets in metro Atlanta. You can find one every day of the week, and nearly every week of the year. Who doesn’t love to browse the stalls while munching on a freshly baked pastry?
This year, things are a little different with Atlanta farmers markets.
Some markets shut down their spring season, and others are operating with certain safety measures in place. We’re listing as much info as we have, but you should click through to a market’s website to verify hours and be aware of any new policies in place.
Bonus: Some Atlanta-area farmers markets participate in the Georgia Fresh for Less program, which matches SNAP/EBT benefits, dollar for dollar.
This means that when you spend $10 via your SNAP/EBT card, you’ll get another $10 in credit to spend on fresh food. How awesome is that?
To participate in Georgia Fresh For Less:
- Come to the market’s information tent.
- Swipe your EBT card. You’ll receive tokens for the amount swiped, and a matching amount of green tokens to be spent on fruits and veggies.

Our list is organized by days of the week — to get to the popular Saturday markets, just keep scrolling.

The list includes markets not just in Atlanta, but throughout the extended metro area.
