Rise and shine! Every Saturday morning and Sunday Afternoon—rain or shine—from April 2 through November 20, 2011, the Marietta Square farmers market gathers an average of 60 vendors, offering a variety of fresh, locally grown, seasonal produce, and garden products. A little bit of “old town” south and fresh air awaits . . . with tasty lemonade, praline pecans—and much, much more—for sale at the homespun Marietta Square Farmers Market.

Customers can choose from heirloom tomatoes, fruits, and vegetables—typically not available from the grocery store. In addition to everyday food staples, like potatoes, onions, squash, beans etc., this popular outdoor market also features a wide assortment of cut flower arrangements, local honey, herbal soaps, whole grain breads, fudge pies, jelly, jam, and preserves.

Put on an ol’-fashioned wide-brimmed southern-style hat and bring a basket to tote home the makings for several local produce-themed meals, or pick up just a few nutritious, fresh, and tasty items to have on hand for the week. Ambitious “green-thumbed” customers can also choose from a varied selection of garden plants and culinary herbs for growing in their own yards and home gardens.
