Local Farmer's Market
With great weather and summer around the corner, nearly every city will soon have its own farmers market which specializes in locally grown produce and products. At the Downtown Alpharetta Farmers’ Market you will find farmers with fruits, vegetables and natural meats, gardeners with fresh flowers and herbs, and makers of all sorts of edible home goods from yummy desserts and breads to local raw honey and homemade sauces, jellies, soaps. It was named “Best Saturday Morning Excursion” in 2007 by Atlanta Magazine. “Alpharettans want a downtown where they can easily step out to pick up fruits and vegetables, while shopping with local businesses for a gift and having lunch,” stated Kathy An Kessler of Galerie, a downtown Alpharetta clothing boutique. Many downtown merchants compliment the Farmer’s Market by running sales and specials during market weekends. The market is open to the public and free admission. Beginning April 20th, it has a new location in downtown Alpharetta, GA at the corner of Old Canton St and Miltion Ave. It is open every Saturday, April 13 through October 12, from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
Several other farmers markets are in the area including Johns Creek, Roswell and Cumming. “The average vegetable travels about 1,600 miles before it gets into your home,” said Hank Gravitt, market manager for the Cumming Farmers Market in Forsyth County. “When something is locally grown, it’s often picked the day before. That’s a freshness you can’t beat.” Visit online to see more information on the local farmers markets.
