Visit the Emory Market at the Cox Hall Bridge on Tuesdays

The Emory Market is in full swing and will feature a wonderful array of delectables on Tuesdays, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the Cox Hall Bridge.

Emory Farmers Market features fresh, local produce, eggs, jellies, jams, organic and sustainably produced meat, bread, cheese, salsas, honey,  and other artisan products. In addition to providing delicious, healthy, and convenient food choices for the Emory community, the market encourages us all to interact with Georgia farmers, expand our knowledge about healthy eating and sustainable production and establish a relationship with the people who grow our food - an essential component of a local, sustainable food system.

The market is sponsored by the Sustainable Food Initiative in cooperation with Emory Dining.
