Two years ago, state budget cuts caused the Georgia Farmers Market on Eisenhower Parkway to possibly close along with four other locations in the state.
In 2020, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black mentioned that the Department of Agriculture had to cut almost $6 million in their budget.
After two years, the market on Eisenhower is still open for business. Shoppers like Alexis Rowe say coming to the market is like a family tradition.
"Everything's good and fresh here and I've been here for years," Rowe says. "It would break my heart to see it go."
If you would like to check out some of the produce and other items at the market, they're open Monday-Sunday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
