After enjoying the show featuring the proprietor, we made a point to swing by this small farm on our trip to Atlanta. We were greeted well by Chef Beee and Tawhiyda, who were vending prepared foods and produce, respectively. Jamila Norman swept through briefly, making a very conscious attempt to not engage. I chose to ignore her nonverbal signals and introduce my mother. Ms. Norman was short, visibly annoyed and less than charming. As we were not attempting to monopolize her time and simply expected the dignity of a cordial acknowledgement, I found her approach unduly rude. If you've watched the show and expect a modicum of the courtesy she appears to afford her clients, you will be disappointed.
If you just want some produce, you'll get much of what you can get at any of the finer grocers in the greater Atlanta area, save for some jarred goods that are not available widely.
Chef Beee makes an incredible cucumber limeade that is well spiced, soothing, and goes down like a lover's kiss. Her sorrel drink isn't as wonderful; but, those familiar with beet juice drinks will enjoy it. I've yet to try any of her other offerings, though the yam dinner smells good. She's professional and polite without being overly attentive.
I enjoyed speaking with Tawhiyda and found her the most sociable of the women.
Unless you live near this venue, there's no need to experience it. There's nothing special here worth driving 30 minutes out of your way to get, though that cucumber limeade might be very, very close.
