Decatur Metro | March 7, 2011UPDATE: The Decatur Farmer’s Market has clarified to both Andisheh and in a comment to Kessler’s post stating that Nazifa “was never formally part of the market and can’t be because her ingredients aren’t local or organic.” Rick posted the AJC comment in full below.

John Kessler’s got a great piece on his Food and More blog about Nazifa Garib, a native Bosnian making the most in-demand Iraqi flatbread in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Her store is located in the Fox Trot Center on North Decatur Road, a “no-man’s land” that really is an “everyman’s land”, according to Kessler. (I concur, as we lived out in this area for 5 years before migrating in-town.)
But as Andisheh points out in an email, don’t come to the Decatur Farmer’s Market looking to buy Nazifa’s breads anymore. Take it, Kessler…
Now she is looking for ways to expand beyond traditional customers from the nan-eating world. Which, as the crow flies, is close.
A stall at the Decatur Farmers Market earned her praise but it came to a quick end after another merchant there complained she was taking away too many of his customers. (Market manager Duane Marcus confirms this.) This season she may try a stall at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market.
