A brief description of the farmers’ market:

The Georgia Tech Student Center and Georgia Tech Dining Services have partnered to bring local, sustainable food to the Georgia Tech communities’ fingertips. The market features a variety of local vendors who provide a plethora of fantastic produce and value added products.

This market not only allows students to stock up on sustainable and healthy food, it also provides them a chance to interact with local farmers and support Georgia’s economy. Opportunities like this market help make Tech’s community an active and educated part of the local food system.

Campus also has a Community Supported Agriculture program available on campus.
