Over 180 Direct Marketing Farmers that take EBT in GA

We recently published an article on 100 farmers markets that take EBT. However, that is not the entire list of farmers in Georgia that take food stamps. The next category is Direct Marketing Farmers. These are farmers that sell their own products directly to the general public, including fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, and grains. We have compiled a list below of over 180 Direct Marketing farmers that take EBT in Georgia and their locations. Remember that unlike farmers markets where you can buy from different farmers at one location, Direct Marketing farmers are individual farmers selling their own products at their location. As a result, you will have to research which ones you want to visit and get their address information. See the full list below.

Here are some of the benefits of buying directly from a farmer:

• You get farm fresh, quality produce that is grown with more sustainable methods (less need for GMOs, antibiotics, and hormones). This means that the food you make will taste better. 
• You will save money when you buy directly from a farmer. That is because the food sold is grown locally, and does not need to be transported over a long distance to get to you. The savings from eliminating all the middlemen that handle the food as it gets transported to the grocery store gets passed on to you.
• You help support your local farmers when you buy directly from them. Lots of small, family-owned farms are going out of business because they cannot compete with the big agribusiness corporations who now dominate American Farming. Your EBT money spent with a local farmer helps to keep them in business.
• You learn cooking secrets from farmers when you buy directly from them. Who better to show you how to best prepare a produce than the farmer that grows the food? Farmers are full of cooking and recipe secrets and are happy to share them with you so you can get the best out of the produce you buy from them.
• Buying your produce directly from a farmer means you get access to seasonal produce that is grown locally. This allows you to vary your menu and cooking at home, rather than the staples you get at the local grocery store. To learn what produce are in season, click here.
