Flags are posted in the new location to help shoppers find the Saturday market
This Saturday, May 15th, the Decatur Farmers Market is celebrating the grand opening of its new market at the corner of North McDonough and Trinity from 9a.m. – noon. Free parking will be available and the market is only a short walk from the Decatur Square. This offers a great opportunity for shoppers to incorporate some locally grown food into their weekend grocery lists. The Decatur Farmers Market offers locally grown fresh organic and sustainable produce, flowers, and other organic and sustainable food products such as bread, jam, and sauces.
Now there are two opportunities to try the Decatur Farmers Market each week:
Wednesday 4p.m. – 7p.m. (Summer hours), Bank of America parking lot at the corner of Commerce Drive and Church Street
Saturday 9a.m. – noon, corner of North McDonough and Trinity (across the street from the Chik-Fil-A on N. McDonough in downtown Decatur)
