Gwinnett will host the next Georgia Grown To Go drive-through market 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, at Coolray Field, 2500 Buford Drive in Lawrenceville.
“Georgia Grown To Go is an innovative program with multiple benefits,” said Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash. “It helps farmers stay in business during these difficult times by providing them with a direct market. It helps the consumer – our residents – by providing them with fresh, healthy produce that they can pick up and take home with limited exposure to others. And it keeps money in the state, which provides a welcome boost to our economy. It’s a win-win-win scenario.”
While observing CDC social distancing guidelines fresh produce and other Georgia Grown products will be placed directly in vehicle trunks and contactless payment options; cash, credit and debit cards will be accepted.
Customers can also support their community by donating a box to a neighbor or local charity. Gwinnett will work with community partners of Gwinnett Cares to provide items to local nonprofits, co-ops, and faith-based facilities.
