My Go-To Picks
🌿 Grant Park Farmers Market(Grant Park)
A Sunday staple with chef demos, noms, & high-quality local produce.
Pro tip: Bring your knives; there’s a sharpening station on site called Sweet Hone Atlanta. You’ll thank me later.
🥩 Frazie’s Meat & Market(Riverside)
Cozy neighborhood gem with grab-&-go goods & plenty of local charm.
Pro tip: Don’t sleep on the Sunday hangover sando. I also swear by their seafood — shrimp + tuna steaks are my usual grab. They also carry specialty cuts like guanciale for us pasta lovers.
🥐 Evergreen Butcher & Baker(Kirkwood)
The hype is very real. Artisan bread, fresh meats, & serious community love. I enjoy going during the Holidays, it feels magical with the decorations.
Pro tip: Hit up Cheeseburger Sundays, but go early before they sell out.
🛒 Candler Park Market (Candler Park)
Great wine selection, killer sandwiches, & perfect for those midweek restocks. Honestly, this place saved me during the pandemic for pantry staples. ILY!
Metro & OTP Markets
🧺 Atlanta State Farmers Market (Forest Park)
One of the largest outdoor produce markets in the U.S., offering wholesale & retail produce, meats, & garden supplies.
Notes: Lately, it’s been a little scarce — could be due to shifts in the political & global supply climate.
