Atlanta Farmers Markets Win 

We did it! Atlanta now has an official zoning ordinance recognizing farmers markets!
 
We’re hopeful this will empower current markets and encourage new markets to open across the city and increase access to fresh food and more market opportunities for Georgia farmers. This is the first official law to become enacted since we kick-started our advocacy efforts.
 
For those of you who want to support farmers markets in your area, Georgia Organics now has a model policy available that recognizes and defines farmers markets. If you’d like a copy, contact Advocacy Director Jennifer Owens at jennifer@georgiaorganics.org.
