It's been quite a year! Over 5,500 Facebook fans, 2,296 Twitter fans, 70 vendors, 38 wonderful markets, 35 chef demos, 40 amazing volunteers, two Holiday Artist events, hundreds of dogs and one cat, baby goats, pigs, ponies, the Sunday Supper evening, a Halloween parade, and a Market Mash-Up! This season we saw our Wholesome Wave Program double yet again, processing nearly $30,000 in food stamp benefits at the Market.
We have also seen our farmers struggle with major health issues and the worst weather season in years. All along we have been grateful for your continued support. We are also grateful to our sponsors: Country Financial, Whole Foods, Wholesome Wave. Without the support of our sponsors, our chef demos and the food stamp matching program could never happen.
Peachtree Road Farmers Market is a special place because of the smiling faces we see each week—farmers, artists, food producers, volunteers, and most importantly you, our customers. We notice when you aren't in your usual chef demo seat, we are excited to meet your new baby, and we love to make you smile as we fill your shopping bags with delicious local foods.
Thank you so much for supporting the 2013 Peachtree Road Farmers Market! We can't wait to see you on April 5 for opening day 2014 as we launch our 8th season!
Sincerely,
Lauren Carey, Market Manager
This Saturday is the last market of the season, so be sure to stop by, stock up on local foods for winter, and shop our Holiday Artist Market!
Holiday Artist Market
December 14th
Inside Cathedral of St. Philip
PRFM moves indoors for the last market day of the season, complete with our holiday market of over 30 artists! Give local this year, with choices from fine foods like bacon, hot chocolate, and artisanal jams to crafts from local artists (think handmade baskets, wood and glass creations, ceramics, pottery, jewelry, felt, scarves, silks, kids’ items, and more!). Just can’t decide? PRFM has gift cards, too. So, bring the family for some good food and special shopping this holiday.
See you next April!

This week at PRFM...
Only two weeks of market time left to stock up for winter and buy your holiday treats! You won't want to miss our last chef demo—with the queen of Atlanta cuisine, chef Anne Quatrano (Bacchanalia, Floataway Café, Star Provisions, Provisions To Go, Quinones at Bacchanalia, and Abattoir). Our original farm-to-table restaurant visionary, this year Quatrano also published her first cookbook, Summerland: Recipes for Celebrating with Southern Hospitality. She'll be cooking from the book during the demo and signing copies afterwards (Perfect gift for your favorite foodie? Check).
