Global Growers runs a pay-what-you-can produce market for local families
The market at Indian Creek Market Farm offers culturally diverse produce from local growers and creates income for farmers in the network.
Global Growers says 1 in 6 people in Georgia, including 1 in 5 children, face food insecurity, often tied to limited access to fresh, culturally familiar food.
The group's Hunger Relief Initiative provides fresh produce at low or no cost. Its pay-what-you-can market puts food on local tables while creating income for growers in its network.
At pop-up markets at Indian Creek Market Farm, shoppers can browse produce, meet the gardeners and farmers who grew it and learn what they cultivate.

Our pay-what-you-can fresh produce market helps put fresh food on the table for local families, while creating real income for the growers in our Network 🚜 Join us for this month’s pop-up market, the last Saturday of the month from 10AM–2PM at Indian Creek Market Farm. Browse a wide variety of fresh, culturally diverse produce grown by local gardeners and farmers, meet them, learn what they're cultivating, and take home something delicious. 🥬 See you at the Market! 🌽”
