Tucker Farmers Market Keeps Growing

It's a big week at this popular local street market.

First, we have two great new vendors. Freedom Farm & Fruit from Murray County, Georgia, is bringing freshly picked Gala apples and pears. Mama J's Produce will bring hydroponic lettuces and herbs. We are very excited about these new additions to the market!

Mike Snowden will provide the tunes on his cigar-box guitars. He will also have a few of his fine instruments for sale. It's a great time to start planning your Christmas wish list!

Be sure to check out the Vendor Roster for this week on our web site. It can be a great inspiration for your grocery list!
