NOT JUST A MARKET.

A COMMUNITY. For grid-locked city livers, the farms that once supported the state of Georgia seem to be a world and a half away. For many, it’s hard to imagine why Georgia is called “The Peach State” at all, aside from the resemblance some of our citizens may bear to a round, fuzzy pink fruit. Despite contemporary misconceptions, farm life remains as prevalent as ever in Atlanta through adaptation to growing populations and urbanized environments.

Smaller, closer, and more convenient than farms of the past, local farmers have set up shop through outlets such as Community Farmers Markets.

CFM is a non-profit organization striving to impact communities by strengthening local economies and encouraging healthy lifestyles through the creation of local farmer’s markets. This diverse coalition of urban growers, goat raisers, soap makers and more operate out of four locations from April through December. The original framework for these markets was developed with the creation of the East Atlanta Village Farmer’s Market in 2006 led

by Jonathan Teshcher. Upon seeing the local market’s vast success, Community Farmers Markets evolved and adapted the recipe for success to create Grant Park Farmer’s Market in 2011, followed by the creation of both the Decatur Farmer’s Market and the Westside Provisions Farmer’s Market.

Alongside an intense dedication to providing East Atlantans with the finest local fruits and vegetables, organic meats, dairy, eggs, and artisanal breads, the EAV Farmer’s Market provides a variety of other benefits to the residents of East Atlanta. The Market was the first in

Georgia to pair up with Wholesome Wave to accept government food stamps at double the value, in efforts to make healthy food more accessible to visitors with lower incomes. Additionally, the market provides several other benefits.

For the 2015 market season, Chef Seth Freeman of Ruby Root Connections provides educational demonstrations to the EAV Farmer’s Market attendees. These demonstrations are focused around cooking with seasonal ingredients healthily and affordably.

Locals of the East Atlanta community are provided with education lessons funded by the Department of Community Health Putting Prevention to Work Grant. These lessons, taught at local schools, senior centers, and health centers, provide local residents with tools necessary to improve their health in various ways. Many of the lessons focus on maximizing SNAP and WIC benefits, which assist low-income families in purchasing healthy food.

The residents are also taught lessons in eating more healthily, vegetable garden installation and training, and active wellness instruction.

The Edible Learning Garden, funded by the Neighborhood Fund of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, teaches practical urban gardening methods such as composting and building raised garden beds. They also offer walking tours of the fruit and nut trees of East Atlanta, informal educational classes, and yoga classes during the market season.
