There is nothing like fresh produce, farm fresh eggs, chef demonstrations and specialty foods. These are a few of my favorite things (yes, I am singing the Sound of Music as I write that).

Most cities and towns have at least one seasonal farmers market. The Atlanta farmers markets generally run from April through November or December.

We wanted to highlight 3 farmers markets that are worth exploring in the Atlanta area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Peachtree Road Farmers Market: Saturday mornings & Wednesday evenings

Heads: Your local farmer’s market is a wonderful way to support your local farmers and vendors as well as get the freshest food possible.

Tails: It is also just a fun way to spend your morning or evening.
