History
Freedom Farmers Market at the Carter Center was formed in 2014 by a group of Georgia farmers with one vision: bring local, sustainably grown food to intown Atlanta neighborhoods. The market, now open year-round, offers a wide range of organic, local products including: fresh produce, grass fed meats, dairy including cheeses, yogurt, butter, milk, farm fresh eggs, handmade pasta and preserves, baked goods, coffee and more. Each market March- December features live music, a kid's tent, and a local chef with hot prepared foods. The market also holds monthly events featuring the fruit or vegetable of the season. The market's name, Freedom, has a double meaning. It's located steps away from the Freedom Park Trail. It also represents a sense of independence--for shoppers, and also for farmers, who manage the market through an independent board. Accessibility is an important goal of Freedom Farmers Market. Neighbors can reach the market by walking or biking, riding MARTA, or driving
