Their mission is to create a unique experience in the Downtown District for all who shop there, where they will consciously offer fresh food options that are as healthy for the people who eat them as for the ground in which they are grown. The Market is also partnered with Wholesome Wave Georgia to double benefits for SNAP shoppers.
