Spruill Green Market opens for the year
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Northsiders, rejoice.
The Spruill Green Market opens for the season Wednesday, May 7. Freezes in March and April have cut down on early harvests, so fresh produce won’t be as abundant as it would in a typical year.
But there will be salad mix, lettuce, radishes, pea shoots, Swiss chard, Lacinato (dinosaur) kale, arugula, herbs and braising mix. Vendors will also offer duck and chicken eggs, vegetable transplants, honey, granola bars and potted herbs. By the end of May, there should be more produce and more farmers at the market.
Market hours are 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays at Spruill Center Gallery, 4681 Ashford Dunwoody Road, between Perimeter Mall and downtown Dunwoody.
Have you shopped at farmers’ markets yet this season? What’s been your favorite find?

The Farmer’s Market on the historic downtown square in Lawrenceville has the freshest veggies I’ve ever tasted. Their tomatoes are awesome. You can also get homemade jellies and jams.

I visited the DeKalb Farmers Market this past Monday for the first time and was hugely impressed. I will be going back there for sure!
