Patrons brave the rain and cold to see what's at Wednesday's Decatur Farmers Market.
Beautiful produce grown by Steve Miller in Clarkston (The carrots and beet greens were especially tasty.)
Steve's full line-up including lettuce, parsley, cabbage, and greens
Steve is happy to talk about his produce and his gardening methods. He credits his late in-the-ground growing season to lots of compost and protection from westerly winds.
Patrons browse what's on hand at Besmaid Garden Essentials owned by Bobby Britt on Wesley Chapel Rd. Bobby provides produce for many local restaurants. (And some top-notch arugula to me. It was so good I went back for more at the Saturday market.)

Parking is a snap at the metered spots heretofore unpatrolled on Saturday mornings.
Joseph Costa of Costa's Pasta (www.costaspasta.com) made my trip with some homemade egg fettuccine. Currently on the hunt for some AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery crème fraiche...
So visit the Decatur Farmers Market! Go on a Saturday morning or a Wednesday afternoon, but brave the weather and go!

Great pictures! These are dedicated souls to sell their produce outside in January – thanks for sharing! And now I’m thinking about arugula…
Thanks, Lucy! It was so cold both days. I love fall and “winter” produce, but after these past weeks, I’m officially ready for spring.
