And also the Buford Hwy Farmers market which still manages to have an impressive array of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean, Mexican, Eastern European and even some Western European goods.

You can buy an entire goat at the Buford Highway farmers market. The scale of that place has to be seen to be believed.

Some people brag about knowing which bodega to go to buy Mexican Coca-Cola but people who shop at BHFM know they can easily get Nigerian Coca-Cola and half a dozen other country's local variant. One of these days I'm going to take my friend's daughter who loves noodle bowls down there just to blow her mind on the aisle of noodle bowls.

Is there anything like BuHi Farmers Market anywhere else in the US?
I've been to LA, NY, Boston, SF and haven't seen anything closely like it. H Mart's probably the closest thing and it doesn't compare in any way

Your Dekalb Farmers Market is still the best :)

Meh, YDFM is a little bit more of a farmers market, but neither it nor BuHiFM are farmers markets they're both grocery stores and YDFM doesn't have anywhere near the international selections.
The real, actual farmers market is the Atlanta State Farmers market in Forest Park and it's one of the largest and most active in the US.

My guess is the 'Farmers Market' in the names is just marketing/branding to get shoppers to associate it with fresh produce, like Harry's Farmers Market before they turned into Whole Foods.
