DeKalb County’s Mobile Farmer’s Market, Fresh on DeK, aims to create a healthier community in DeKalb by bringing education and fresh in-season produce to food deserts around DeKalb County. 

Fresh on DeK is made possible with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, DeKalb County Government, DeKalb County Board of Health and UGA Cooperative Extension. 

Fresh on DeK plans to return in 2025.
