A New (Better?) Brookhaven Farmers Market

After our somewhat disappointing experience with the Brookhaven Farmers Market a few weeks ago, we are cautiously optimistic about the the NEW Brookhaven Farmers Market. Hosted by the organizers of the Chamblee Farmer Market (in fact, this is the Chamblee one, just a new locale), this one has a better time- Every Saturday from 9:00am - 1:00pm and a better location: 1441 Dresden Drive, Atlanta, GA 30319 (Behind Haven


This Saturday, July 16th, will be the debut of this Brookhaven (formerly Chamblee) Farmers Market. Their website mentions (at least) 18 farmers, food producers and local artisans at the market:
  • Phoenix Gardens - A local grower based in Lawrenceville, Georgia who is committed to growing produce in a naturally sustainable manner. Dairy, beef, and pork available via special order.
  • Tewksbury Farms - A farm based out of Buckhead, Georgia providing sustainable produce.
  • West Wind Farms - A farm based out of Morgan County, Tennessee that provides organic, grass-fed meats and dairy products.

  3. My husband and I went this morning and really enjoyed it. The market is small, but you have to start somewhere. It will grow if the area supports it.
