Community Farmers Markets Essentials

Stress over the global food system continues to rise. Amid the cyclospora outbreak, concerns about the provenance of imported beef affect farmers and consumers. These crises confirm the critical need for reliable local food systems. To make these work, we need to shop with local farmers. The Grant Park Farmers Market is open year-round, every Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm at @thebeaconatl 📍 1040 Grant St SE, Atlanta 30315 Thank you, @atlantanewsfirst, for the coverage.

🥩 Kinda chic to know GA farmers you can trust. With so much uncertainty surrounding our global food system, knowing where your food comes from matters more than ever. So we’re putting some of our incredible animal-protein farmers in the spotlight. Showcasing beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, salmon, bison, eggs, milk, cheese & more, all from farmers and producers you can get to know and trust. Swipe througt to meet the folks behind your food. Market location under each vendor. 🫶🏽 Our local farmers work incredibly hard to bring fresh, quality food to our markets every single week. And when we choose to shop with them, we’re doing more than buying groceries. We’re helping keep local farms in business, strengthening our food system, and investing right back into our community. 🌱 #localfarmers #atlantafarmersmarket #localmeat #freshfood Belle Dawgs Farms — Grass fed and Grass finished Longhorn Beef and Mushrooms ✨ 📍 Grant Park Farmers Market Sundays from 9am-1pm, rain or shine 1040 Grant ST SE, Atlanta, GA @belledawgfarms Blackwater Pastures — Wide range of premium beef cuts; NY strip, Filet, Brisket, Ribs, Ground Beef and MORE ✨🥩 📍 Decatur Farmers Market (Mar-Nov) Wednesdays from 4pm-7pm, rain or shine 308 Clairemont Ave. Decatur, GA @blackwaterpastures 📍EAV Farmers Market (Mar-Nov) Thursdays from 4pm-8pm 572 Stokeswood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA @blackwaterpastures 📍 Grant Park Farmers Market (Year-round) Sundays from 9am-1pm, rain or shine 1040 Grant ST SE, Atlanta, GA @blackwaterpastures Caribe United Farms— Pasture-raised egg and meat produce; from bacon, sausage, to pork chops and eggs, Caribe has you covered! 🌱✨ 📍 Oakhurst Farmers Market (Year-round) Saturdays from 9am-1pm, rain or shine 630 E Lake Drive, Decatur, GA @caribeunitedfarm 📍 Grant Park Farmers Market (Year-round) Sundays from 9am-1pm, rain or shine 1040 Grant ST SE, Atlanta, GA @caribeunitedfarm Rodger Pastures Meishans— Pastured Meishan Hogs and Organic produce.

TICKETS ARE LIVE! Farm Fondo is back for the fall on Sunday, Sept. 27 🚴🌽🍊 A day of biking, farm tours, and good food! Take @martatransit to the Indian Creek Station and join the group ride led by @rar.bikeshop and @patagoniaatl We’re teaming up with @globalgrowers to visit two of their growing sites across Decatur & Clarkston, where immigrant and refugee farmers have been putting down roots since 2010, from a small group of Burundian families sharing one plot to a network of 200+ growers across metro Atlanta today. 🌱 When the pedaling’s done, we’re gathering for a farm-grown dinner curated by Chef Mia Orino and the @kamayan_atl team. Tita Mia knows exactly what it means to build a table where everyone belongs. Kamayan ATL grew out of pop-ups sharing Filipino food and culture with Atlanta. Today, Mia opens her kitchen to young Filipino entrepreneurs building their own businesses and shares the harvest through weekly meal distributions from her restaurant on Buford Highway. Two missions, one heart: making room for immigrant communities to grow, cook, and thrive. 💛 Refreshing tonics and elixirs by Petals Bradley of @woodland.wellness 🚴 2-5pm — Bike ride with Patagonia & RAR 🌾 3-6pm — Farm tours through Global Growers’ sites 🍽️ 6-7pm — Dinner by Chef Mia Orino with drinks by Petals Bradley 📍 Decatur/Clarkston 🎟️Tickets available through the link in bio. @communityfarmersmarkets or bit.ly/farm-fondo Ride on! 🚴‍♀️🍠
