Peachtree Road Farmers Market

A very beautiful & well organized Farmers Market. Great Variety of vegetables, fruit, flowers, Kombucha, tinctures, breads, various cooking oils & vinegars, some meat, prepared foods, cheeses, jams, syrups, even live music! We bought some awesome food & had a fabulous time walking around.

I love that this market is just a quick walk away on Saturday mornings. If you are coming for produce, be prepared to pay a little bit more but I have never been dissapointed with quality. I purchased a few peaches this weekend and they were phenomenal. Personally, I come for the crepes. The vendor here has a gluten free option and they are so fresh. This one had goat cheese, pesto, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and bacon and it was perfect.

Love this farmers market must try smyly farms! Pasture raised eggs chicken meat and duck also has bone broth that is amazing. Tons of crafty booths get there early!!

Great food, good variety. Easily walkable. Live music. Things for kids to do, store time.

First time visiting Peachtree Farmers Market. We came specifically to buy halal beef bacon from Bread&Butter Farm To Table. He was so nice and loved his stand. We also got a few huge zucchini from him as well. Loved walking around looking at all the other stands some cooking fresh meals. Before we left we bought some handmade popsicles. I’d really love to come back and explore some more. The market is located right across from a cathedral in a very quaint part of Atlanta.

Delightful farmers market with a variety of vegetables, meats, and baked goods. Live music set a fun ambiance.

Best farmers market in Atlanta. Meet your farmer. Talk to your farmer. Your talking to the grower. It's like a carnival here!

The Peachtree Farmer Market is your one-stop destination for a food and craft extravaganza. Remember, though, if you're eyeing those parking spots, make sure to arrive before the clock strikes 9:30 to snag your spot. Otherwise, Andrews Dr NW and Rumson RD NE are your golden ticket to snagging that coveted free parking space. Don't miss out on this sensory delight – head on over to Peachtree Farmer Market and let the flavors and creativity sweep you off your feet! 🛍️🌞

Probably my favorite farmers market in the city! They have a variety of vendors with homeade items, a good amount of farmers, performers, etc. Every vendor is very friendly some have samples so you can try before you buy. The parking can be fun, they have street parking and a parking lot to park in and enjoy the market.

Another fun Farmer's market with some expensive items and some long lines. Enjoyed the many different booths/stands/fruits/veggies/prepared food at this location. Had to get a breakfast crepe and some brisket from another vendor. Both items were fantastic. It was getting warm towards the afternoon but glad I got to experience this place. For sure would return when back in Atlanta.

so many good stands and variety. come early as the lines can get long. some also have option for preorder. love the gf & vegan options!

PRFM is a decent farmer's market. It feels small. Parking is tight. There is nothing really wrong with this market but there is no wow factor either. Little Tart has a booth here. It is nice to stay in Buckhead and still enjoy Little Tart. There isn't a lot to do here besides shop. It could be boring for kids.

Awesome market with fantastic people. Vendors seem to really care about what they do. Highly recommend.

Love a good farmers market! This one is a good one too. Lots of vendors. Plenty of parking. And a good location in buckhead.

I have been here 3 or 4x over the last couples years. They have a good selection of vendors from cured meats and sausages to baked goods, dog treats, Mac n cheese, and others. Not quite up to left coast standards for produce but still enjoyable. Free parking too.

My experience with PTRFM has so farm been very good, but it is limited. As an attraction it's fun for the entire family, lots of stalls to look at, the surrounding area is nice and walkable. Every time I've come it's been for one thing, the halal beef bacon from Bread&Butter Farms. I'm sure the other stalls sell very nice items. From the other reviews it seems to be more of an artisan market. The prices can get high on specialty items. The beef bacon for example is $12 a pack. It's the best beef bacon I've ever had. I'm extremely impressed with it and every time they send out the notice that they'll have some we make orders for ourselves and other families. If you're looking for a more traditional farmers market, this might not be the one for you.

Great local farmers market!! Seriously great! I mean great! Have I met the character limit yet??

This is a Saturday Buckhead FM at the parking lot of St. Phillip Cathedral. It's $pricy$ but you can find some gems like fresh GA grown tumerics and meats and country flowers. +. Ambiance is neighborhood FM that caters to the rich. It's one of the larger FMs in ATL metro and merchants and producers come here from near Atlanta metro and far Alabama and Carolinas. +. ~30 stalls. Roughly 1/2 finished goods / merchants and 1/2 producers (produce, meats, flowers, dairy/cheese, baked goods). There's also a mobile wood burning pizza. Most produces are natural NOT organic here. A few gems are White Oak Pastures, Atlanta Fresh yogurt and McMullen flowers...I love that I can get GA grown tumerics and interesting zucchinis here too! --- Prices are ridiculously high $$$$$$$. They price it higher than WFM for okay quality. Triple - quadruple regular grocery prices. The value is low for what you get at compared to grocers and other FMs. =. Service is ok and can be good. The sellers often are NOT the makers or owners and have limited knowledge of what they are pushing. The owners are more colorful and knowledgeable. River Farms meats gal really couldn't tell me much about their beef. +. Parking is free and can be tight during Summer and easier in the Fall. It's a good place to walk around, snack on pizza and buy a few things you can't find at other FMs. Shopping with eyes is still free for now ;-).

terrible people! first time at a farmers market and the vendors are very nice people the crowd that goes there are old rude snobby people. so upset. will never go back or recommend it to people.

Ya'll. I tried to give this place a second chance. But every time I come to this place, it makes my heart ache, and I never walk away buying anything. I live on Peachtree Rd and am under a 5 minute walk to the Farmer's Market. I went once with my mother and sister when I first moved to the area, and one morning a few weeks ago decided to go one more time. Affordability/Accessibility (or lack thereof): Guys. These prices. These PRICES!! retweet the review that talks about how folks need to get perspective on how farmer's markets work in other cities. I am almost sad that this type of market exists because I truly believe with such unbelievably high prices, these are the type of places that actually DISCOURAGE people from going to farmer's markets and feeds into the fact that good, fresh, organic produce and artisanal goods are only made for the exclusively wealthy. $10+ for a gallon of raw cow's milk. $10+ for pasta. $10+ for certain loaves of bread. Perhaps only some of the produce can provide a saving grace to this market, but at that point just go get a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box and you'll be supporting supporting local farmers with much better market value per week than trying to go here and get your blood pressure /cortisol levels raised by the prices. My partner and I make an upper middle class income, and maybe it's the mindset I was raised with (my mother is a 2nd generation immigrant coming from poverty), but hot damn I will never pay $12 for a carton of eggs. Please. I had to walk right back over to the Publix a few blocks down to keep my head spinning from all the high prices and feel comforted by the most expensive carton of eggs there being $8. I want to support local goods but I know that in other places in America, there are systems in place to ensure affordability and accessibility for all. Hours: Hours are really limited. Saturday's only from 8:30AM-12PM. I went around 11AM and found some of the produce stalls not having a lot of the produce I was expecting around this season. I get this snarky "you need to come earlier" remark from one of the farmers after asking. Ok boomer. I feel particularly young in this market, and not for a good reason. In other great markets around America, every person from all walks of life feel rejuvenated by markets--not beat down bc I don't sleep at 6PM in the evening and want to sleep in after a 9-6PM week of work. But I guess that means I get last pick of produce and to get shamed for it, love it. Literally if I'm gonna bother going somewhere on a Saturday, I would almost rather drive off to Savannah or Charleston where I know there are better, more affordable, more fun, and accessible markets. I am dead serious. I mean, I was going to miss most of the Peachtree Road Farmer's Market anyways, right? Variety: Variety is OK. 30 tents sounds good, but when the price range is already so high and consistently high, I think we need to revisit what "diversity and variety" means. Virtually all white owners. Expensive. Not much freshly made food (I think the eating experience is also a really important aspect of Farmer's Market). Literally the Emory Farmer's Market on Tuesday's that I used to go to as a student was a significantly better experiences despite only having 15-20 vendors in comparison, because there was a much greater price variety, there were vendors of all races and age demographics, and there was SO much fresh food I could buy a bunch of small bites and complete the best lunch ever. I could spend hours at the Emory Farmer's Market but couldn't hang around for more than an hour at Peachtree Rd FM. How is it that I could afford organic, locally grown produce as a college student but feel like this is a stretch while earning a real income in my 20's?! Hot take: I don't want my review to come off at the fault of the artisans and the farmers putting together this market. I think the negative experience I had is a reflection at the lack of investment and support that our municipal government provides for public spaces and markets like these. The vendors are kind people. I think there are forces above us that make this market very inaccessible to the vast majority of Atlantans and that reminder in itself of the inequities in this city is enough to dissuade me away from coming back ever again. Atlanta, we need to do better for our farmer's markets. Farmer's Markets should not solely be reserved to be placed in the gentrified / Buckheads or Buckhead 2.0's of the city.

One of the most amazing and diverse farmer's markets I've ever shopped. I could eat my way from one end to the other. The market is held in the parking lot of the Episcopal Church on Peachtree Road. Flowers, coffee, baked goods, charcuterie, cheeses, sandwiches, soups, biscuits, fruits & vegetables and more. All top-notch farms,bakers and chefs providing the absolute best foods to eat there or take home. Every time we visit Atlanta, we make the market our Saturday morning ritual. Dog friendly (and there is a dog bakery on site) and kid friendly. The perfect way to start a weekend in a big city.

A great place to pick up local honey, pastured eggs and milk! It is always very packed. A little overpriced but worth it

Definitely worth the visit! It's like a very mini-version of Dogwood Arts Festival but focused on food only - which is my favorite part of the festivals anyway :) My best purchase today - a jar of Hope's Gardens "jalapeno pesto" for $6. I had a hard time deciding between the sweet basil and jalapeno but as soon as I tasted the cilantro in the jalapeno pesto, I fell in love. I already used the pesto as a sandwich spread for today's lunch, and now I'm trying to think of what kind of pesto dish I can make for dinner! Ha - I enjoyed the free samples :) It's definitely helpful for narrowing down choices when they sell products like honey, jam, cheese, salami, pesto, etc. in so many different flavors. It was also nice to see Souper Jenny give away free samples of 3 different kinds of soup - definitely made me want to trek to their store and try a whole bowl :) There were also booths that were selling different kinds of crepes, wood-fired pizzas, and breads/pastries from H&F Bread Co. - if you're looking to catch a meal here, too. I'm definitely coming back and over the next several visits, my shopping list will include: - MORE pesto from Hope's Gardens - Chevre cheese from Caly Road Creamery - Biscotti from David Jeffries Kitchen - Applewood-smoked bacon and salami from Pine Street Market - Grass-fed beef & Berkshire pork from Riverview Farms - Red pepper jelly or Pinot Grigio jam from Emily G's - Lavender blackberry honey from Hidden Springs Farm Thanks Yelp again for telling me about this farmer's market! FYI - they're open Saturdays from 8:30am-12:30pm. Additional parking is available if you go straight into the parking lot and then turn right.

Such a nice little farmers market on peachtree by garden hills (Rumson). Lots of fresh food - Souper Jenny, farm burger, crepe maker, little tart shop, and more. Plus bamboo juices, banner butter, king of pops. And tons of local produce/meat/etc. Chef demos, live music... you never know what you'll get. Be patient for parking.

As far as markets go, Atlanta has a weak point and this is no exception. Their target customer: a family in a Porsche cayenne that decides to do something cute on a Saturday morning and go to the farmers market. I say that because it's very craft focused rather than produce and PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS. You will literally be paying a multiple of 3-4 vs grocery store price for most items. That being said, produce you find will be better than the average grocery store, but the upcharge is truly insane. The market itself is very small, only a couple produce stands and I was very disappointed. On the upside, all the farmers take credit card payment through square, which is convenient (this should be another indicator for you who this market caters to). Would I come back? I think so, despite not owning a Porsche cayenne, but mostly because there is nothing better in Atlanta that I know of. If you know a good market, feel free to send me a message.

I love farmers markets. When I lived in NoVa I was at the Falls Church market every single Saturday. In San Diego I tried not to miss the fabulous Little Italy Mercato that sets the bar for farmers markets. Peachtree Road Farmers market, well, a disappointment. More arts and crafts booths than produce. The limited selection of produce was expensive, double San Diego prices when I was there three weeks ago. The "artisanal bread' was both expensive and no better than Wholefoods. Where are the immigrant farmers selling their countries' favorite vegetables and spices to their fellow immigrants? Maybe Buckhead is not densely populated enough to support a serious farmers market. Maybe there's not a circuit of farmers markets so the same farmers can sell at three markets in three days. The location is lovely, there was a musician and loads of kids were running around having fun. That's all great but a fun outing with your kids is important but it is not the essence of a farmers market.

This market is just fantastic: Open for a long season: Saturday mornings from 8:30 (sharp!) to 12 noon from April all the way in to November culminating with a fantastic final market Thanksgiving weekend with expanded vendors of jewelry, crafts and woodworking type gift items as part of their Holiday Market (which is indoors at same location). My MIL and sister drive from South Carolina and Alabama respectively each year to attend the market - it is that good! Free live demos weekly from local chefs like Kevin Gillespie at 10 o'clock Incredible array of local purveyors of produce, breads / baked goods including the amazing H & F Bread Co, the retail bakery arm of Holeman & Finch, meat, some seafood, beautiful multicolored farm fresh eggs( see pic!), the Tropical sweet heat Greek yogurt from AtlantaFresh and a variety of honey, jams & cheeses. There are also a number of prepared foods from wood fired pizza to crepes made to order and Souper Jenny specialties. Market welcomes dogs and is very family friendly, even for those oversized strollers as the aisles are wide open. Parking, on the other hand, is very limited for the number of people who fill the market stalls each Saturday morning. The market is hosted in the parking lot of St Philip Episcopal Church and the parking lot fills up quickly as the market opens and it can be tough to find a spot. Public restrooms inside the Church are free and easily accessible. Overall, this is the best true Farmer's Market in Atlanta!

This is a very fancy farmers market. Not as many local farmers selling fruit and veg and flowers as I'd expect. That said there are a TON of farmers selling meat products which are grass fed and pasture raised compared to other farmers markets, so in that sense it's awesome. They do have some local chains, such as the spotted pig, but that's fine by me as the chains they have really are local and champion local products. Personally, I love to come here to just enjoy my morning. The biscuits this year are outstanding, literally some of the best I've ever had. They have good coffee and there are always a ton of families and dogs running around. It's a good place to come, do some artisanal food shopping and get a nice breakfast/brunch. It may not be the most traditional farmers market, but really, I don't know if that would be as successful in this spot.

How in the world have I not been here before today???? I live down the street, literally, and just hadn't made it before. I LOVE the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. Luke and I had such a fun time today. Because I'm having lunch in a bit, I only sampled a couple of things but I so wanted to get a Farm Burger or a hot dog or . . . gosh, some of everything! Instead, we walked around and he visited with all the other dogs there, and I scored him some cool doggie treats from Taj ma Hound - they look like people's pastries!! There were families and couples, people having lunch (we went about 11 am - it goes from 8:30-12) and live music and just . . . loveliness. Next time, I may not take Luke so I can do some serious shopping from places like the Spotted Trotter and all the cheese and veggie stands . . . maybe my love affair with Publix will be over soon if I start making this a regular stop!! Even if you're not really buying food, it's a fun thing to visit on a Saturday morning. Go!!

I have to write an update because this is the best farmers market in the Atlanta metro area, no doubt, no lie, I kid you not. The people selling the produce and other goods are the actual producers! They will tell you all about how they grew the turnips, what natural pesticide they used (maybe it's peppermint, or cinnamon, or some companion planting), how super their compost is, and there's dirt under their fingernails. This means something. These are the people who toiled in the soil, and we can buy directly from them, and thank them for doing what they do! All the produce is required to be organic or naturally grown (sounds hard to clarify, but again, just ask) to be sold here. This means something too. And yes, there is at least one other market offering same criteria, but it's teeny, and if you don't get there at the right time you'll miss out. Same with another market of which I am fond, which is much closer to my home. Unfortunately at the latter the sellers are allowed to sell before market open time, which means I have no idea exactly what time to get there or I might find my favorite rainbow chard grower is sold out! PRFM rings a bell when it's time to sell, and I've stood waiting (granted, only once), but it's worth it to know that the asparagus won't all be gone when the market opens! And yes, there is CORN now, and there is ASPARAGUS now (did someone read my earlier review?), and a good variety all summer long. Spring and Fall have their joys too, and the best thing about buying local is learning what is in season... locally! LOVE this market, go visit! BUY stuff! Get some coffee and a baguette and sit and relax and watch the people, listen to some homegrown music, get a popsicle from King of Pops! Snap some pics on your smart phone, put 'em on the Instagram! It's fun! And go home with your haul and cook something amazing. You will not be sorry. Look for the season opening April 6th!

There are at least 20 vendors here any Saturday. I usually go for the fresh eggs which usually run $8 for a dozen (totally worth it). But I always end up buying fresh pasta, arugula, peppers, cucumbers, peaches, cheese, etc.... there is always plenty of good stuff to choose from. Definitely go early to get the best selection. There is always live music, very low key. Dogs and kids are always welcome at the farmers market. And king of pops is usually there every Saturday too. Parking fills up quickly. So if you can walk, definitely do that.

I love spending Saturday mornings at this farmers market. I mainly come hungry and stuff my face with delicious food and coffee. There seem to be a variety of food vendors to choose from. You can also find some craft vendors, but I wish that there were more plant/flower options. This market is super dog friendly which is great however *some* dog owners are pretty annoying. Dogs are retractable leads, barking like crazy, and the worst not cleaning up after themselves. This isn't something that would keep me from coming here, but if you have a nervous dog I'd leave him at home. Lastly it's pretty family friendly as well...which basically means children are running around like monsters from the 10am sugar high they got eating a King Of Pops popsicle. Again it's not a deal breaker, just be warned and get your coffee asap :)

This little piggy went to the market... to get her bacon! I've now gone twice to this Farmer's Market. It has a good mix of bakeries, specialty foods, flowers, and baked goods for your dog. It also has the number one thing I want at a Farmer's Market: fresh fruit and vegetables. It feels so darn good to buy local! The first time I went to the Farmer's Market all I could smell was bacon. Yes, the Pine Street Market's bacon has lured me in and I will never look back. The stuff is just too good! It is worth your $7/pound. I need to try some of their other delicious meats! Emily G's jelly also sells here, which I think is a fantastic gift for any wine lover: she has flavors like Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Sauvignon. The market is good to pick up a few items, but it's not a true event, if you will. I can make a round in 30 minutes and be done. Parking is definitely an issue. I highly recommend you enter the parking lot from Andrew's Drive to avoid the jams on Peachtree. Also don't forget to bring cash and your own bags.

"O frabjous day!" I barked, eyes aglimmer and hopes aloft. "A nearby source for fresh local produce to stock my fridge and pantry. Callooh! Callay!" A two person party formed, and we hied north on Peachtree Street, arriving at the Cathedral of St. Philip half after nine. The church's campus was impressive, and neighborhood austere. Unfortunately, the first sign of the market was one of Atlanta. Swarms of idling SUVs moved, serpentine and in a conga-line around a fully occupied parking lot. Brushing the ubiquitous aside, my partner and I forded the automotive sea and strode towards a bevy of white top tents --universal indicators of farmer's markets. Narrative aside, the disappointment from the reality of Peachtree Road Farmers Market was crushing. Restaurants and craft booths outnumber those of the establishment's namesake. What produce exists is boutique and priced accordingly. August, and not a single tomato existed; staples were in short supply; pickle-sized cucumbers were priced $1 a piece. It was a nightmare. Peachtree Road Market is not one of Farmers': it is an exercise in fetishism and an opiate of the rich and naive. Come here if you want to spend an hour's minimum wage on a half-dollar coin sized slider baked by a local chain. Come here if you want to see a facade of local produce and organic interests, clogged with fumes of automobile exhaust.

Nice place to purchase fresh fruits or vegetables for high prices! Nice selection. I purchased dog biscuits for my grand dogs. I was laughing when I saw the $4 bunch of collards. I have a garden with 4 rows and would love for people to visit and pick my greens! Haha!

Delicious organic peaches, beautiful art, wide assortment of flowers, and great vendors of all different food! Plenty of parking.

Such an adorable, well-stocked farmers market! The best time to go is Saturday mornings, where vendors offer fresh coffee, donuts, veggies and fruits, flowers, soaps, breads, and other wonderful and tasty goods!

Finally made it up the Farmers Market on one of their last weekends of 2014! I was really stoked to check it out as I've heard a lot about this one. It was a rainy day, and pretty lousy weather in general, but everyone was still out and there were plenty of smiling faces to see. Tons of cool vendors we love, too -- Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Holeman & Finch Bread Co The Spotted Trotter Farm Burger Banner Butter Garnish & Gather Crepe Masters and tons more We stopped by H&F Bread and picked up a loaf of olive sourdough. It was AMAZING, of course. The entire loaf didn't last but maybe 4 hours after purchase. Good just by itself! It's definitely a fun market to explore. Tons of local places, abundant parking, and easy enough to get to. Their website is really helpful and can tell you all of the other details you're seeking. Looking forward to heading back next season for some seasonal veggies and maybe some of those wonderful mushrooms we saw! Glad we finally got to check it out!

This is a nice little farmers market, not too far from home. There are probably around 20 little booths with most of them selling something other than fresh fruits and vegetables. Unlike at other farmers markets, I don't really focus on fruits and veggies here - there is a ton of other really good stuff to distract me. It's easy to buy just about everything you need for a yummy Italian dinner here. You have the Via Elisa pasta (along with sauces, herb butters and cheese), Hope's Gardens pesto, fresh ciabatta bread (from someone whose name I can't recall), olive oil, fresh cheeses, salami (and bacon). BriGidini sweet anise crisps - everything you need. They also have herbs, honeys, gourmet dog treats, Dancing Goat coffee, little pies, Sweet Auburn sweet potato pies, jewelry and a few other fun things (and I'm sure this changes often but I think the ones I've mentioned are some of the staples here). It's definitely worth checking out. Parking is not bad at all but people freak out when they first drive in and don't notice that there is a lot of parking behind the first section. Bear with them. Dogs are allowed (although it gets a bit crowded and hectic which makes dogs like mine freak out) and you should remember to bring your own bags.

I love this farmers market. I have been to a couple in the city in this one absolutely ranks first because of the variety compared to other farmers markets and the fresh organic produce available. It is on the expensive side but the quality is really very good. My favorite vendors that I make sure I visit every Saturday are: Heritage Farm (Eggs, sweet Italian sausage, lamb and pork), Pine Street Market (kale and beer Sausage, Poblano sausage and bacon ends). Abundant Harvest Gardens and Green Ola Acres for greens and veggies. Many Fold Farm cheese and eggs are great too.

PRFM is one of my favorite neighborhood markets around the city. Mostly, for the collection and diversity of the vendors. Pros: - Great mix of products. From fresh pasta, farm fresh produce, nut butters, local meats, etc. You can find a wide selection of quality stuff here. - Live demos - For those on SNAP, they double the benefits so that healthy food is more accessible. - Saturdays 8:30am - noon through Sept, 9:00am - noon Oct - Dec. You can get things done early and go on about your day. - I've noticed a much better mix of farmer's which I love! Cons: - Parking can be a bit tricky, especially during peak times - Sticker-shock for some vendors. Look, I am so pro-local, pro-small business the majority of the time. I understand it fully. But I really think some of the pricing is a reflection of the area and market. Thankfully, there are some farmers with more reasonable prices. I want you to make money but I also want to get some bang out of my bucks. - Buckhead Betties - you know the vibe and look. Just ignore them. Or people watch. Love Peachtree Road Farmer's Market!

It's a neat thing to spend a few minutes here, especially if you have a dog or child. My favorites are the bread stand; great cinnamon twists, chocolate croissants and breads, and I love the turkey chili from the Souper Jenny. Many things here are way expensive, some I'd just get at the grocery, but for unique or particularly tasty items it can be worth it!

Went here this morning in what became an aborted attempt to get breakfast. We showed up around 10:30, which I guess was too late. I say this because the guy at H&F Bread Company was just scratching through all the breakfast pastries on their chalkboard menu. No worries, because we still had crepes and coffee as options. The crepes, it turns out, didn't look that interesting to Nova. But there were five savory and five sweet options, the later of which relied heavily on Nutella. Still, $6 for a tiny portion seemed a bit steep, particularly when you have virtually no overhead. Getting coffee ended up being a bust too, as the line at the Dancing Goats booth was about eight deep and not moving at all. There were just too many curious types posing too many questions to the one person working. All in all though, I do think the market is a nice addition to the neighborhood. We've been here a few times before and on today's visit, we saw the most amount of produce we've ever seen here. While many of the vendors are typically narrow in their selection, there was a large fruit and veggie stand next to Dancing Goats. There were also a couple of large stands in the middle, across from the table of honey. Speaking of the honey, I've bought it here before and it's quiet good. The Via Elisa pastas are also worth picking up. Really, about the only thing I don't like about this market are the people who frequent it. It's full of Buckhead Bettys, along with former sorority and frat types. We saw one such couple walking through the market with their child in a harness. I'm sorry, but when you need a restraint to control your child, you probably shouldn't be reproducing. Anyway, while today was a wash, I'm sure we'll be back. Next time we'll just show up a little earlier, when there's sure to be more pastries and less people.

This is definitely a neighborhood farmers market and not YDFM, and I mean that in a good way. YDFM is amazing and so comprehensive, but this is really local. I'd been tasked by a friend to get BLT supplies, so he was disappointed when I told him there were no tomatoes, but it was the first Saturday in April. Of course there are no Georgia tomatoes on the first Saturday in an April following a March that featured snow! Katie W and I found easy parking in the lot, though it was starting to get crowded, and worked our way from booth to booth enjoying the smells of fresh herbs and the friendly smiles of adorable dogs and their owners. We were both very tempted by Via Elisa pasta (sweet potato ravioli!), but I opted instead for the bacon (how could anyone resist after smelling it in the frying pan?!), some Red Curry cheddar from Flat Land Creek (at least that's what I think it was) and H&F asiago cheese bread. I also got some green chard and carrots with stems still attached, but didn't get a chance to eat them before the power went out and they got all wilty in the fridge. I'll definitely be headed back to see the seasons change in the products.

This farmers market just took Buckhead up a notch in my book. Somehow I've never made it to this one until last Saturday, and it is waaay more convenient to me than riding out to Grant Park (my previous usual farmers market). When I showed up, Adam Waller from STG Trattoria and Bocado was just taking the stage for a small cooking demonstration. I enjoy his restaurants, so I decided to stick around and watch him make some dips to serve with radishes. The cool thing about this demonstration, and other weekly demonstrations, is that they incorporate seasonal ingredients that you can buy at the market into the presentations. When he wrapped that up I decided to walk around through the different vendors. It is smaller than other farmers markets. As other people mentioned it could easily be seen in half an hour. I saw a few of my favorites from other markets. Honorable mentions go to Pine Street for the bacon, H&F for baked goods, Spotted Trotter for charcuterie and Atlanta Fresh for the peach/ginger greek yogurt. There are only two things keeping this market from getting a 5-star rating in my book. First is the parking. The little church parking lot takes as long to get in and out of as you will likely spend shopping. Second is the small number of vendors. I noticed a fair amount of specialty goods, but not many produce vendors. This could be my fault for coming in the fall, but it's worth mentioning that the selection will be smaller than my very favorite farmers market - Grant Park on Sundays.

Summertime reminds me of growing up on my Grammy H's farm. This time of year I get a craving for her browned flour gravy (no meat) over green beans. Yes, I can go to YDFM, but this dish is at its best when made with the freshest beans. Not having a garden of my own, the closest I can get is a trip to a local farmers market. I decided to venture up to St. Philip this morning and see what their selection offered. For $13 I got a large bag of fresh, wonderful green beans (1 pound of them), four large heirloom tomatoes, a french bagette, and two everything bagels. The produce was bursting with color and variety. Besides the veggies, this place goes beyond standard farmers market- I saw wonderful selections of locally made chevre, mozzarella, milk, organic meats, and dancing goats coffee. You should definitely check out their website which lists all the vendors and their specialties. We got out in and out with no problems in under 30 minutes. I suggest going through on the backside of the church on Andrews Drive to avoid the traffic on Peachtree. For dinner I used the tomatoes to make a marinated tomato salad to go along with the beans and gravy. The bagette served along to soak up all the yummy leftovers. Dinner came out just as wonderful I thought it would be!

I have to say, I love Peachtree Road Farmer's Market. I have a lady date who goes with me on occasion, sometimes I go alone, I take my mom when she's in town... I talk about it so often that my boyfriend has been begging to go. The greatest part about Peachtree Road is that it's rain or shine and producer only. As in, the people selling your food grew it or made it, in the case of pestos, cheeses, and jams. The cons, as many others have said, are the parking (go to the back lots, it's not worth waiting up front and blocking EVERYONE else!) and the very Buckhead crowd. I always start with a cup of coffee, grab a pretzel roll from Holeman & Finch, then watch the chef demo and wander looking for whatever grabs my attention that week. I try to keep up with what's in season, but it's hard to go with a specific list sometimes. I love the farm fresh eggs, although they're up to $7 a dozen these days. They're absolutely worth it though...so much prettier and so much more delicious. I have also been known to get a spicy ginger cookie or two from the Cookie Studio. There are plenty of other can't-miss booths, so get up early(ish) some Saturday and see what strikes your fancy!

When I'm not too lazy to drag my butt out of the house on a Saturday morning, I really love this neighborhood farmer's market. Do not go here expecting the broad selection of the Dekalb Farmer's Market. This is a neighborhood endeavor, and some vendors don't come every weekend. Some don't even follow a regular schedule - they come when they can. When I last visited, there was a honey vendor who produces FANTASTIC honey. I have also found many delicious fresh veggies and fruits and some very tasty okra pickles. It's been about a year since I stopped by this place. I can't wait to go there again and see what's new. :)

Bingo. This market is the real deal. The vendors/farmers are helpful, friendly and very know their stuff. The market runs from April thru mid-December and features live demos from a local chef at 10am - so plan accordingly. Come early, have breakfast in the market as you walk around to scope out the offerings for the week. You can also take some freshly prepared dishes home for lunch or dinner. Talk about full-service. Look for: H&F Bread Company - muffins, scones, bread, sammies and more Batdorf & Bronson - coffee Native Juice Bar - divine juices Red Queen Tarts - tarts Souper Jenny Soups - soup, salad, sammies Abundant Harvest Gardens - veggies Burge Organic Farm - veggies Country Gardens Farm - veggies, milk, meat Heirloom Gardens - veggies RiverView Farms - veggies King of Pops - gourmet pops Westside Creamery - ice cream Zocalo - tamales This is a weekly happening - don't miss the foodie fun.

Pros: free parking, some good items sold there - got some yummy veggies, bacon, and flowers. Cons: some of the vendors don't really "fit" (jewelry?), selection is sort of small, and the prices are a little higher than other farmer's markets. Overall, not a bad stop if you're in the area, but there are some more extensive farmer's markets around.

Love this farmers market. It has some great vendors- H&F Bread Co., King of Pops, Red Queen Tarts, and Pine Street Market just to name a few of my favorites. Always some fresh produce to be found, although it can be limited. Some other markets have more vendors and more produce- a lot of this market is geared towards pre-made items or stuff you can eat while you are there. Although it's not as big as some farmers markets, it's laid out nicely, the stalls are not too close together so there is plenty of walking around space. Plus, free off street parking and plenty of it. And they do have an ATM on site.

Lots of variety here for everyone. They just started taking food stamps and WIC vouchers and through the program double your dollar value if you receive these benefits! This means this market is not just for the Buckhead Bettys anymore. They have raw milk for "animal consumption," fresh cooked lunch or breakfast, deserts from yummy H&F Bread (they have the best chocolate croissants!), coffee, cheese, veggies, souper jenny, and local yogurt. You know where your money is going when you shop here. You know who grew your food. You know where your food came from. Shopping at a farmers market gives you this as well as a sense of belonging to a community. The conversations and people you will meet are priceless! Way worth a little extra for all the extra you receive in return. Even though we always go to Morningside Market since it is so close, sometimes we make a little special trip here since they have so much more to offer that other markets do not- like GA grown oyster mushrooms, fresh or dried and sometimes shitake mushrooms!

Every Saturday I take $20 out of the ATM and head to PRFM. Its the best $20 I ever spend! Better tomatoes, cukes, melons, herbs, peppers and desserts than I ever get at Publix. Positives: Lots of fresh produce choices. I can try something new every week. Nice to support my local farmers. Negatives: Totally rich, yuppie crowd lends itself to higher prices.

This is a fine market, but is actually closer to a fair than a true farmers market. The stalls are mostly comprised of ready mades and locally made products, rather than copies amounts of locally grown vegetables and such. For that go to the Morningside Farmers Market, which I do before or after I go here. The Cookie Studio, Queen of Tarts, and Souper Jenny are my must stops here, and certainly worth the trip alone.. The kids never fail to enjoy it and there are usually oragnized crafts and such for them. A few vendors accept cards but I would highly recommend carrying cash. A lot of cash. This is not a market for the bargain hunter.

New to Atlanta having moved from NC we were pleased with the selection of vendors at Peachtree Road Farmers Market. The produce selection was better than expected having reviewed the vendor list on their website. The vendors were knowledgeable, friendly and produce quite fresh and excellent. Many food vendors as well as a coffee vendor which made for a pleasant Saturday morning. I will definitely be visiting again!

I was super excited to check out this place due to all the raving reviews on here. And it is pretty impressive. Tons of booths with all sorts of different things. Cooking demonstrations from local chefs. What disappointed me (in addition to the parking situation) was the lack of produce being sold. There were maybe only a handful of booths selling stuff and that is what I go to farmers markets looking for. Granted it is early in the farmers market season so maybe the amount of produce will expand as summer comes around, so I will probably be checking it out again. I did buy some delicious carrots (I forgot the vendor) but they roasted up quite nicely. I also tried one of the tarts from Red Queen Tarts and it was excellent. This is a three star review with lots of room for improvement. Check back again in August and I'm sure it will be higher.

I've got a new love with this one! Most of my favs were found here this morning, and I finally got to try a few new things on my list of things to try (HELLO, Pine Street!). I usually go to Piedmont's Green Market, but lately it's been feeling a bit ho-hum. I like EAV, but I usually work Thursdays. This was the perfect alternative (ok, not perfect...still had to hit up PGM for peaches). More vendors with more local produce were here (you know if you can find tomatoes past 11am, they're either crappy or there's lots of 'em.), and a larger selection of other stuff all in one place! Yay! And there's lots of free parking. Double Yay! Now, get the Peach Guy (next year, of course, ) and start taking EBT (both EAV and Morningside do) and we may be talking Foodie Nirvana...;)

I have been to just about every farmers market in metro Atlanta since moving here 3 yrs ago and this is one that truly feels like what a farmers market is supposed to be. Mostly local farmers and businesses with a focus on organic and sustainable. Only a handful of artisan products but many notable vendors known for quality like The Little Tart Bakeshop, Riverview Farms, Pine Street Market and The General Muir Bakery. The solo instrumental guitarist and sidewalk chalk activity area for the kids added to the laid back vibe. There are even a couple of great playgrounds and very walkable neighborhoods close by. Great way to spend a Saturday!
