University of Georgia’s DeKalb County Cooperative Extension will celebrate the end of a successful third season of Fresh on DeK, DeKalb County’s Mobile Farmers Market, with its Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the DeKalb County Extension Office, 4380 Memorial Drive, Decatur. 

Festival attendees will be able to purchase fresh produce at a reduced cost and participate in educational demonstrations from the Extension. There will also be interactive games for children along with food and prizes.

Fresh on DeK aims to improve the health of the community, the viability of local produce and to preserve the environment for generations.  By utilizing the mobility of the market, the DeKalb County Extension Office was able to meet community members where they are, relieving food access barriers by providing fresh produce paired with nutrition education programming around the county.

For more information about the Mobile Farmer’s Market or to learn more about other programs and services, contact the DeKalb County Cooperative Extension office at 404-298-4080 or visit www.ugaextension.com/dekalb.
