The Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market is an open air market where small farmers and growers, regional producers and purveyors of traditional foods, and local craftspeople market their products.
Not only is the food great, the atmosphere is laid back and fun and it’s a good place to show kids that not all food comes in a package with Spiderman or Princesses on it. In fact, there are kids that have set up shop at the market and sell their own wares, either for profit or charity.
I stopped by at the end of last season, in fact I think it was the last hour of the last day. There were still lots of vendors selling and a good selection. When I went to the Farmer’s Market in Piedmont Park, I was a little dissappointed at the amount and variety of vendors, but not here. We sampled our way through the booths and I can personally recommend the 1/2 pound cake and the fresh pesto. If you’d like a list of what’s in season and likely for sale at the market, click here.
