Fresh, local produce and Black-owned businesses are thriving in Ben Hill, thanks to Ali Washington’s Fickett Farmers Market. In a neighborhood where grocery store options often mean wilted veggies and poor selection, this market is a game-changer—offering everything from seafood and chicken sausage to healthy desserts and children’s books by Black authors. Even more inspiring, local students get hands-on experience running the market, learning about entrepreneurship and nutrition. This isn’t just about food; it’s about building community, supporting youth, and creating a legacy. How could more neighborhoods benefit from markets like this? #Food #Atlanta #Community
