Emory Farmers Market features fresh, local produce, organic and sustainably-produced meat, bread, cheese, honey and other artisan products. In addition to providing delicious, healthy, and convenient food choices to the Emory community, the market encourages us all to interact with Georgia farmers, expand our knowledge about healthy eating and sustainable production and establish a relationship with the people who grow our food—an essential component of a local, sustainable food system.
