FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fulton County Fresh Mobile Market will continue its summer tour through local neighborhoods, rolling through the county each Tuesday and Thursday from July 14-30 in its third session of the season.

The mobile market, led by Fulton County Cooperative Extension, brings farm-fresh fruits and vegetables directly to communities across Fulton County, according to a release from the organization. The initiative also provides free nutrition education and cooking demonstrations, helping residents – particularly those in food deserts – access healthy, in-season produce and learn how to prepare it at home.

No registration is required. Participants will receive a fresh bag of produce and in-person nutritional information at each stop.
