Fodor's Expert Review Your DeKalb Farmers Market

It may not be a true farmers' market, but this is truly a market experience to remember. In a sprawling warehouse store 9 miles east of Atlanta, some 142,000 square feet are given over to exotic fruits, cheeses, seafood, sausages, breads, and delicacies from around the world. You'll find root vegetables from Africa, greens from Asia, wines from South America, and cheeses from Europe. The store also has one of the largest seafood departments in the country (with some species still swimming) and sizable meat, deli, and wine sections. Just the cafeteria-style buffet alone, with a selection of earthy and delicious hot foods and salads ranging from lasagna to samosas, is worth the trip.

The market is accessible by MARTA bus from the Avondale rail station.
