DECATUR FARMERS MARKET MOVES TO NEW LOCATION

New Location to Offer Fresh, Local Food in Beautiful Community Space

ATLANTA, Dec. 17 2013- Community Farmers Markets (CFM) is excited to announce that the Wednesday Decatur Farmers Market will launch at a new location in the beginning of 2014. Starting on January 15, 2014 the Wednesday Decatur market will be held in the spacious front lawn of The Decatur First Baptist Church on the corner of Clairemont and Commerce Drive.

“We are incredibly excited by this relocation and our new partnership with The Decatur First Baptist Church,” says Katie Hayes, Executive Director of CFM, the umbrella organization that operates the Decatur Farmers Market. “In addition to offering our patrons a beautiful, communal space to shop and congregate, this move empowers the Decatur Farmers Market to expand the number of residents we serve and offer a great variety of healthy, local foods.”

The Wednesday Decatur Farmers Market is open year around and helps make healthy and local food accessible to thousands of Decatur residents. The market currently boasts 26 diverse vendors offering a variety of produce, meats, breads, dairy, baked goods, teas, candles, rubs, prepared meals and dog treats, among other items. The market also helps support Georgia’s farmer economy while providing a community space for families and residents to enjoy. The Saturday Farmers Market location will remain the same.

“Sustainable food and meaningful fellowship are often essential ingredients to any healthy and thriving community, said Van Smith of The Decatur First Baptist Church. “We are excited to leverage our church home to partner with CFM to continue its mission making healthy food accessible to all Atlantans.”
