MARTA Market
The MARTA Market is a pop-up farm stand that takes place in six MARTA public transport stations. The goal is simple: help farmers sell more produce while getting healthy, fresh food into places where people already are! Pairing produce with public transportation by placing MMs inside transit stations gives MARTA patrons convenient food access options, allowing them to purchase food on their way to or from the train or bus. The FMMs are located in the West End, Five Points, West Bankhead, College Park, and H.E. Holmes, Doraville MARTA Stations, serving multiple areas with limited food access.
