It’s fairly normal to hear the words “farmers market” and immediately think large, open-air space filled with fresh, local vegetables. However, we have one farmers market in Georgia that can easily turn those assumptions on their head. At over 100,000 square-feet of space, this Costco-sized farmers market is the ultimate place to grocery shop in Georgia.
Buford Highway is known for being an international food Mecca, which is why it’s only fitting that this is the location for the biggest farmers market around.
Of course you’ll find your regular food and flavors, but you’ll also find some strange and tropical fruits and vegetables that you may have never heard of before.
Owner Harold Shinn and his family initially focused their efforts in the 1970s on Asian-inspired foods, but as the city’s population grew and diversified, so did the offerings within the farmers market.
The address for Buford Highway Farmers Market is 5600 Buford Hwy NE, Doraville, GA 30340-1240. To learn more about this market visit the website or Facebook Page.
