New farmers market opening on the Northside

Roswell gets a farmers market on Saturday, with the opening of the Riverside Farmers Market in Riverside Park. Organizers expect seven farmers for the first market, as well as vendors selling coffee, baked goods and other items.

If you live in Roswell, you probably know this park: It’s got two gigantic playgrounds, one each for younger and older kids, with plenty of parking and a nice location on the Chattahoochee. It’s at 575 Riverside Road, not far from where Highway 9 crosses the Chattahoochee and Sandy Springs gives way to Roswell.

Hours are 8:30 a.m. to noon, and the market will be open on Saturdays through Oct. 25.

The market restricts growers to those who produce within 100 miles of Roswell.
