atlanta farmers market

I love visiting the Farmers Market. They have a good varieties of fruits and veggies. You can definitely get value for your money here.

Usually go there to buy tomatoes. Get a better deal to buy here rather than the grocery store. Excellent variety.

The Farmer's Market Atlanta, GA offers produce for all around the US and Mexico. Mom and I had a wonderful experience getting to drive through the different sheds to see what all they did have compared to one in Nashville, TN. It was very nice and we had a great time. We picked up purple hull peas and butterbeans to shell and put up for the winter. It was nice and we will be thankful in the winter when are snowed in and get out.

Great place to get fruits and vegetables especially in summer months. There is also a market grocery that has really good prices and selections. Everything from canned foods to fish and cheese. Even my kids love going here and wandering around to look at everything.

Summer is a great time of year to visit the State Farmers Market. Local produce abounds. I remember visiting the market as a child and always thought those farms characters to be a bit sketchy and I must say it still seems a bit sketchy. However, today, many years later I enjoy an occasional visit to the market to shop for just about anything grown in Georgia including honey, fruits/vegetables, herbs, bedding plants, sod, shrubs/trees, mulch, stone, etc. etc. My wife and I made a trip specifically for a special promotion of Georgia grown products sponsored by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The week long promo traveled across the state and ended in Atlanta. We were amazed at the variety and the quality of products. Here is a partial list of products on hand:tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash/zucchini/other squash varieties, sweet potatoes, watermelon, peaches, blueberries, black berries, jams, pickles, cheeses, meats, eggs, pecans, soaps, breads, herbs, spices, carrots, butter beans, field peas, black eyed peas, salsas, Vidalia onions, olive oils, green beans, luffa sponges, lotions, mushrooms, cabbage, and much more. We bought the most beautiful peaches from Lane Farms (Fort Valley, GA) that I have seen in years. (and they taste as good as they look) Also bought Georgia produced olive oil. The olive farms are in South Georgia. The oil is pretty tasty. I always think "Italy" when thinking about olive oils. Who knew. The Georgia product is fresher and measures up to my taste test.Although this special promotion market was a one-day affair, the Atlanta State Farmers Market is open year round. During colder months produce is shipped in from other parts of the country and world. It is worth a visit.
