Final Market of the Year

Holiday Artist Market

in the Cathedral of St. Philip

Join us for the last day of PRFM's 2011 season and plan to finish up your holiday shopping, too! The annual indoor Holiday Artist Market has something for every locavore on your list, with choices from fine foods like bacon, hot chocolate, and artisanal jams to crafts from 35 local artists (t
hink handmade baskets, fabric art, glass, jewelry, wood creations, cutting boards, bird houses, candles, blooming bulbs, plants, glass beads and more). Just can’t decide? PRFM has gift cards available or our volunteers can help you create the perfect gift basket (hint: BioBags make great stocking stuffers). P.S. We won't tell anyone if that extra-special gift is for you to enjoy!

A word of thanks from
Market Manager, Lauren Carey:


As PRFM completes our 5th season, I’d like to say how much you mean to us.

To our shoppers:
PRFM continues to thrive because you show up in the rain, 8 months pregnant, with your 3 month old triplets, when it is hot & cold, with your dog, with out of town family, at a chef demo, kids activity or ice cream social. We are here each week because you are here ready to try kohlrabi or share a sun choke recipe while waiting in the bread line. Thank you for putting local food on your table each week.


To our sponsors:
Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation, Captain Planet Foundation, Ellis Hotel, Whole Foods, Wholesome Wave, & Cook’s Warehouse. It is through the generosity and community focus of businesses like you that we save the planet, empower people to eat well, teach the next generation and make local food accessible to all Georgians.


To our vendors:
It has been another wonderful year. We welcomed new friends and sent others on the next step in their journey. You make the market vibrant, seasonal and alive. Thank you for sharing your talents.


To our volunteers:

With grace, hospitality and always humor you make the market a happy place. With over 2,250 volunteer hours given this season, we all thank you for giving so much of yourselves.


See you in April!

Demo Femme Finale

Chef Demo with Anne Quatrano
o
f Bacchanalia — 10:00 a.m. on 12/10
Chef Demos are sponsored by
Whole Foods Market

Chef demos are going out in style this Saturday, featuring Atlanta’s own farm-to-table visionary, Anne Quatrano. Together with her husband, award-winning chef Clifford Harrison, she operates six of Atlanta’s most celebrated restaurants—Bacchanalia, Floataway CafĂ©, Star Provisions, Provisions To Go, Quinones at
Bacchanalia, and Abattoir. Her love for local, organic produce began at an early age, coming down from New England to visit her mother’s family farm Summerland, near Cartersville, Georgia. Anne is now the fifth generation to live on the farm and many of her restaurants’ ingredients are grown right there. Her accolades are many, both nationally: Food & Wine’s “10 Best New Chefs” award in 1995, Bacchanalia’s induction in 1998 to the Fine Dining Hall of Fame of the National Restaurant Association, James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef of the Southeast” in 2003, the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs Golden Whisk Award in 2008; and locally: a five-star review from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, among others. Anne’s meticulous attention to detail and pride in her ingredients results in true perfection. Join her this Saturday for the last demo of PRFM’s season and learn how to make broccoli and cauliflower the culinary rock-stars of your next meal!
