Emory Farmers Market

Tuesdays at the Cox Hall Bridge
12:00PM - 5:00PM
Year round except during summer and school breaks

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.

Food, Farmers, Action!

On some days, we’ll have live music and chef demos to add to the Emory Market action. Don’t miss a great day of food and fun!

Sponsored by the Sustainable Food Initiative in cooperation with Emory Dining.

Local and Seasonal Tastings 2010-2011:

Eating Locally + Seasonally = Eating Sustainably

Ever wondered if there really was a difference in taste and quality when it comes to sustainable ingredients and foods? Tired of using the same ingredients in the same old recipes? Emory Dining is offering you a chance to taste the difference while also providing you with new innovative recipes. During the fall and spring semesters, Julie Shaffer, Emory Dining’s Sustainable Food Education Coordinator will host tastings in the Coke Commons for students and faculty to test out recipes made with seasonal ingredients from local food sources.
