Operating five weekly outdoor farmers markets and seven farm stands at MARTA stations is one of the strategies by which the organization addresses food access in Atlanta. CFM also offers educational programming in the community, financial incentives to make local food more affordable, and professional development for small businesses. See you at the farmers markets!

Market Dogs Recipe:

Ingredients:

• smoked beef hotdogs
• Buns 
• Any hotdog toppings and condiments that please you: mustard, ketchup, green onions, eggs, carrots, cucumber, etc. 

Directions:

1. On high heat whether on cast iron or grill, these hotdogs are already slightly smoked but they take 4-5 minutes to cook, depending on how much blisters & char you prefer on your hotdog. Just remember to keep rolling the dogs so one “side” doesn’t burn.
2. Top with cucumber, egg, green onions, or whatever you like!
