In our quest to survey ATL Asian markets, this was our #2 stop. Extensive selection of fresh produce... fresh ginger from 4 different countries, bulk spices, better organized than City Farmers Mkt with slightly higher prices. Even Noh seasoning packets, Aloha Shoyu, Mid-Pac & Lum’s sauces from HI. Could easily have stayed for hours. Picked up some NY strip steaks 🥩 @ $5/#! AUWE! Heaven on earth 🈲

Buford highway takes farmers market to a whole new level. This place is just indescribable- and easy to spend several hours just wandering through and discovering all they have. There are desserts, drinks, and even regular grocery items to be found from all over the world. More than just a small section, it’s got to be at least half the building that’s full of international staples. This is no exaggeration- they literally have aisles marked for every section of the world, from eastern Europe to South America to the Middle East. It’s fascinating and so so cool. The produce section is another impressive feat- just about every fruit, vegetable and spice you could ever desire. And in the back, the fish market. Now, I’ve been to Whollys in Pittsburgh, PA, which is supposed to be a really impressive seafood market, but the Buford highway one really puts it to shame. We got a couple fish while there and if you do the same make sure you are assertive in ordering and then expect it to probably take at least an hour to cut up your choice. So maybe do it right at the beginning of your shopping. But totally worth it! Such a fun and cultured place, a must stop when in the area!

Despite some problems with some fish monger employees serving spoiled seafood and one in particular security guard stalking me several years ago.
Buford Highway Farmers market thus far has the freshest and brightest produce I’ve seen so far. Including decent selection of fish, meats, packaged and canned products. Out matches Nam Dae Mun Farmers Market by 90%.
If your into clean fresh looking produce and unpackaged fresh herbs at a fair market price go to Buford Highway Farmers Market.

I was stopped by the a korean security at the door and scream to ask for me to leave my backpack at the customer service in korean language. I didnt understand what he was saying but He looked very angry and kept on pointing at my bag.
everyone customer carry their bag but I guess he was saying my backpack was large and not allow to be at the store.
first of all, I shop at this market all the time and carry the same backpack, second, they should place a sign outside to tell customer regarding the size of the bag that you can carry in the store. third, they should use a english speaking person at the door instead of someone who just screaming at you in korean. I wonder if something ever happen and how can the security understand what customer's need?
fourth, he can simple ask nicely instead of screaming in korean.
I will never ever go back again.

Been hearing about how great this place was for two years. Finally went there today for the first time. I was underwhelmed. I guess I was just expecting more. Needs a way bigger Kosher section. I did buy a few things that were okay. Also there was extremely long lines at the register that moved slow but the cashier was friendly.

Our family took us here to grab some items and explore. It was tremendously busy on a Sunday afternoon, with the bulk of our visit spent in line for the register. Even so, I am glad we came.
There were so many nationalities represented, both in the products and in the shoppers. I could have spent 3 days exploring everything. The produce was extremely impressive and there were a number of great items for gifts. I was especially grateful for the “European pharmacy” to pick up some skin care items, as I really needed something for my trip.
Pro-tip: Use the google translate camera to make sure you are getting exactly what you want.

I've been fortunate to travel to several regions of the world, so when I found out there was an international food market just down the road I had to check it out! I spent over an hour walking around and finding food I enjoyed from Asia, Africa, Europe, and Central America. The prices are very reasonable considering everything is imported. If I lived closer, I'd definitely shop here more often.

Spent a good half hour just checking out all the produce - and then there's the rest of the store. 7-8 different kinds of eggplant, every kind of squash you can imagine, peppers galore, and the biggest bunches of collards you've ever seen. They even have Ghanaian sweet potatoes! Great prices, really fresh, too bad we were on our way to the airport.

This is definitely one of a kind farmers market in the WORLD! At least, in USA for sure. The variety is simply surreal; you can find anything and everything there; try out unusual fruits/ vegetables; pick some cool international cuisine items. I love their Russian selection especially (they event have books in Russian!). You should check it out if in ATL! To top it all off, the prices are super nice (lower than in chain stores).

Ok so like this was the first ever ethnic type store I had been to and I was shuts blown away by it but then I was talking to my friend about it and they were like that’s normal. But I mean it still seemed really big even still you know. I mean at the end of the day though it’s a grocery store and they do their job of selling groceries.

There produce section is constantly and rapidly changing. You would just have to go look and see. They do have available many exotic varieties of produce.

I did not see this at the market but I would be surprised if they did not have it.
Can we take the MARTA Train to the market?

Atlanta, GA20 contributions
MARTA can take you a little closer to the Market but not that close. I believe the closest station would be Chamblee. You would still need to take a bus to arrive at the market. ONe thing about Atlanta Metro...transit is not the best. I would take a ride share after MARTA.

Sorry, I actually don't remember seeing one. Also the store itself has areas that would be inaccessible bc of the layout and tightness of the space.
But call them, they may have an accessible cart that is maybe in customer service area
