Share All sharing options for: The Atlanta Guide to Groceries, Local Food, and Produce Delivery Services

Atlantans are cooking at home more than ever before due to the COVID–19 pandemic, and the demand for ingredients and other household goods is high. While finding and purchasing groceries has proven difficult over the last few months, people are turning to local businesses to procure their food and supplies. This includes ordering from local farmers, preordering produce from weekly farmers markets, shopping at neighborhood markets and grocers, and purchasing from enterprising food producers and delivery services.

Atlanta and its metro area are lucky to have a bountiful assortment of food producers, farmers, shop keeps, and crafty delivery services to shop from locally right now. Many also include EBT and SNAP options for discounts or to preorder before the general public.

Eater Atlanta rounded up a few local farms, food producers, area food delivery services, and other local food and beverage companies to consider when shopping for household supplies or ingredients for meals at home.
