Where to actually shop in Atlanta

Every dot is a real, SNAP-friendly food source. Shaded circles show neighborhood food-access scores — red areas are food deserts where the nearest grocery is over a mile away. Click any pin for details and directions.

Tip: Farmers markets in red zones (like Community Farmers Market in East Atlanta) double SNAP/EBT dollars up to $50 through the Fresh for Less program — you spend $50, you get $100 of fresh produce.

Why this map matters

Atlanta's food-desert geography is a civil-rights story

The neighborhoods shaded red on this map — Bankhead, English Avenue, Mechanicsville, Thomasville Heights — sit less than 5 miles from Whole Foods stores in Buckhead and Midtown. The distance is short. The reality is not.

For families without a car, a 1.8-mile walk with kids and groceries is the difference between fresh broccoli and a bag of chips from the corner store. FreshPath was built to shrink that distance with a second tool: information.

Knowing that Aldi on Lee Street is $0.85 cheaper per pound on chicken than the corner Family Dollar — and that Buford Highway has tofu for $1.50 a block — is its own form of access.
