There's a new farmers market in town. The
Green Market on Green Street in downtown Roswell is one of the newest markets in the Atlanta area but this past Thursday, market manager Kathy Mullen and the vendors looked like seasoned pros. The fact that the market is held on Thursday evenings makes it a great alternative to the grocery store. It is located just off Green Street on the grounds of
Swallow at the Hollow. Not only is it in a great location, easily accessible from all points of downtown Roswell, but the fact that it is located on Swallow at the Hollow property means you can grab a glass of wine as you peruse the goods.
Opening day was cheerfully busy and vendors from within a 100 mile radius of Roswell came out to peddle their produce, cheese, meats, bread, smoked trout and salmon, eggs, fudge, honey, knife sharpening skills, milk, yogurt... just to name a few. The market is hosting vendors and farmers that are
organic or
Certified Naturally Grown. On select Thursdays when
Alive after Five coincides with market days there will be specially themed events:
May 20 - Strawberries Alive!
June 17 - Blues and Blueberries!
July 15 - HOT!HOT!HOT! - peppers and local microbreweries.
August 19 - Tuscany in Roswell - tomatoes, herbs, pasta and Pavarotti.
So if you're in the area, stop by on Thursdays from 5 to 8 PM at 1072 Green Street, Roswell, Georgia 30075. The market will run through October 28, 2010.
