East Atlanta Village Farmers Market

East Atlanta Village Farmers Market pairs a weekly neighborhood market with a broader nonprofit food mission that includes education, seasonal cookbooks, and SNAP/EBT use guidance through Community Farmers Markets. In East Atlanta, that mission plays out on Thursdays at East Atlanta Community Park, where shoppers can browse farms, bakers, prepared-food vendors, and specialty makers in one stop. The mix ranges from Georgia Peach Truck and Georgia Proud Provisions to Molino Tortilleria, Refugee Women’s Network, and St Catherines Island Seafood, which gives the market a distinctly wide food scope without leaving its local footing.

Why it matters locally

East Atlanta Village Farmers Market is part of Community Farmers Markets, an organization that frames its work around mission, history, impact, education, and donation-supported programming rather than market transactions alone. That local role is visible in the way the market connects food access and public programming: Community Farmers Markets provides resources for using SNAP/EBT, runs education efforts, and hosts annual events whose proceeds support its programming across Atlanta. At this market specifically, the Thursday setup includes chef’s cooking demonstrations and an on-site Edible Learning Garden with garden education and children’s activities, so the visit is built around learning as well as buying food.

What you'll find there

The vendor bench here stretches well beyond a produce-only stop. East Atlanta Village pulls together farms, bread bakers, seafood sellers, coffee roasters, flowers, plant nurseries, pet treats, and prepared-food specialists, so a Thursday visit can cover dinner, pantry restocking, and a few household extras in one lap.

The market also features chef’s cooking demonstrations, plus an on-site Edible Learning Garden with garden education and children’s activities. Set in a grassy park across from the Midway Pub, East Atlanta Village Farmers Market has a looser, park-side feel than a parking-lot setup, and that setting shapes how the market’s programming lands. Chef’s cooking demonstrations happen on site, so the market’s educational side is part of the regular Thursday experience rather than a separate special event. The Edible Learning Garden pushes that even further by adding garden education and children’s activities right at the market. With dogs welcome and street parking spread along Stokeswood Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood, the visit reads as a neighborhood park stop built around food, learning, and lingering in the open air.

Know before you go

The most useful logistics detail here is parking: street parking is available on Stokeswood Avenue and throughout the neighborhood, and there is also a parking lot behind the Midway Pub. The market takes place at 572 Stokeswood Avenue in East Atlanta Community Park, across from the Midway Pub, which helps orient first-time visitors quickly. Dogs are welcome, so this is one of the easier Atlanta market stops to fold into an evening neighborhood walk. One planning note matters if you are staying a while: restrooms are not available on site. Market management for East Atlanta Village is identified as Katie Kriner.
