The Georgia Department of Agriculture has Farmers
Markets across Georgia. The State of Georgia is blessed to have a large number
of thriving community farmers markets. These markets are places where
farmers can sell directly to their neighbors. They are often operated by
non-profits, or local governments.
The largest GDA Farmers Market is at 16 Forest
Parkway in Forest Park GA south of Atlanta. At 150 acres, our Atlanta Market is
considered one of the largest of its kind in the world. It features a garden
center, wholesale and retail activities, and is a major marketing hub and
distribution point for fresh produce in the Southeast and throughout the
country. The Atlanta Market is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Atlanta
Market also has a restaurant, welcome center and USDA Federal-State
office. Welcome Center hours are:
Tuesday thru Saturday 10:00 AM thru 4:00 PM. The Market also has a 26,000 sq.
ft. Exhibit Hall that can be rented by calling 404-366-8767.
