Shop today, help local farmers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you shop at the Whole Foods Market in Buckhead today (Wednesday, Jan. 16), 5 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Peachtree Road Farmers Market and other organizations devoted to sustainable, local food and hunger prevention, including the Atlanta Food Bank, Georgia Interfaith Power & Light and Georgia Organics. Julie Adkisson Bartholomew, the farmers market manager, sent along an email to get the word out.
The store is at 77 West Paces Ferry Road, a block west of Peachtree Road, and is open until 10 p.m.
The Peachtree Road market, started in 2007 in the parking lot next to the Cathedral of St. Philip, is the city’s newest farmers market. It’s closed for the season, but will reopen in spring. Some of its vendors, including Via Elisa fresh pasta and sauces, and Sweetgrass Dairy cheeses, also sell products at Whole Foods stores around Atlanta, including Harry’s Farmers Market.
