MARTA MARKET KICKS OFF 2024 REGULAR SEASON

ATLANTA - The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), in partnership with Community Farmers Markets (CFM), announces the kick-off of the MARTA Market 2024 regular season. Each MARTA Market farm stand will operate one day per week, Tuesday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the rail stations listed below.

Markets open Tuesday, June 11 at West End Station, Wednesday, June 12 at H.E. Holmes and Bankhead Stations, Thursday, June 13 at College Park and Kensington Stations and Friday, June 14 at Doraville and West End Stations. A reminder that due to construction, the MARTA Market at Five Points will be temporarily closed. 

MARTA Markets source locally grown produce from farmers affiliated with Community Farmers Markets and several local food hubs. This allows local farmers to sell more produce to customers who might not otherwise make it to a farmer’s market. Non-local produce complements the fresh food available. 

The markets accept cash, credit, debit, and EBT/SNAP. SNAP is doubled at the market, meaning that $5 swiped is worth $10 to spend.

Join us as we kick-off the season, Tuesday, June 11 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at West End. There will be live music, giveaways, and chef demonstrations.
