The Fresh MARTA Market is open 3-7 p.m. weekly at various MARTA rail stations.

They include:

At the Fresh MARTA Markets, SNAP/EBT dollars are doubled so that $10 EBT is worth $20 and $20 EBT is worth $40 at the market. Remember to bring your EBT card.

The markets also accept credit and debit cards and cash.

Since 2015, the Fresh MARTA Market developed from a single station tent-and-table set-up to recognizable, semi-fixed produce stands that offer 15 to 18 unique produce items at each market location weekly, as well as locally produced foods like peanut butter, baked goods, juice and prepared salads.

This food access solution is managed by a partnership between Community Farmers Markets and MARTA and supported by Open Hand Atlanta, Wholesome Wave Georgia, Urban Recipe and Foodwell Alliance.

Volunteers are needed by signing up at HandsOnAtlanta.org/volunteer.
