The Decatur Farmers Market is beginning its second year of offering a Saturday morning gathering place for purchasing fresh, locally grown, organic and sustainable food products. On Saturday, June 11, the market will celebrate with live music by the Decatur Ukulele Society, face painting, and other activities.
Come and enjoy the two new picnic tables under the shady magnolia. For those who travel on two wheels, a bike rack has been recently installed for your convenience. Four wheelers have plenty of free parking in the Calloway Building lot at the corner of Trinity Place and Commerce Drive.
The market provides an opportunity to buy from and speak directly with the local farmers and food producers who offer goods produced by sustainable methods. Maria and Joel from Café Campesino Atlanta will have their organic coffee, iced tea, scones and muffins. Cool off with frozen delights from the King of Pops and the Pop Shop. Be prepared to go home with fresh, nutritious locally grown produce. Sample the market delights prepared by Leon’s sous chef Robert Lupo. The market will have recyclable bags to purchase if you forget your own, new T-shirts and insulated reusable tumblers.
The Decatur Farmers Market is open year-round on Saturdays and on Wednesday afternoons. The Saturday Market is on the East side of the square at N. McDonough and E. Trinity Place, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The Wednesday market is on Commerce between Clairemont Avenue and Church Street, 4-7 p.m.
Buying locally grown, organically produced food enriches cultural standards, protects ecological integrity, supports regional economies and decreases dependence on nonrenewable resources. The community is a big part of the market’s success and they invite Decatur to come and celebrate with them!
