Peaches Are Ripe & Ready!

To celebrate, the Decatur Farmers Market is hosting Peach Jam on June 25th and 28th, with two culinary competitions that honor Georgia’s signature fruit. Peach Jam is open to the public and free to attend!

Participants are welcomed  from all different backgrounds, but you have to act fast!  Whether you hold a secret recipe for sweet and savory BBQ sauce passed down through generations, or have crafted a signature recipe for jalapeno peach jelly, you have a chance to be the Peach Jam 2014 Champion!  Creativity is HIGHLY encouraged.

.

Registration is $20, and you get a free bag of peaches to prepare your sauce or jam.  Sign up before this Saturday, June 21, so you can pick up your peaches at the market. All proceeds benefit the “Double Your Dollars” program which promotes the use of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at the market.
