Marley Bridges conducted a study on farmers' markets.
Marley Bridges, a sixth-grader at Tucker Middle School, won a Best in Economics, Class I award at the recent Georgia Social Studies Fair. Her project was titled What are the Economic Effects of Farmers' Markets in Georgia. She used her love of the Tucker Farmers' Market and her time volunteering there for Seth Hancock of Dillwood Farms as inspiration. Sarah Bridges, Marley's mother, sent Patch the following summary: Marley loves the idea of local people eating local healthy food. Her experience allowed her to talk with customers about the different vegetables Dillwood Farms sold. This included what they tasted like, the different ways you could prepare them and the healthy aspect of eating fresh local grown food. She was also exposed to …

The popular street market is mysteriously closed. Why?
Sherry's Produce, the famous market stand that's been selling merrily at the corner of Lawrenceville Highway and Brockett Road for 15 years, has not been open for business since at least Halloween. What's going on? Is this permanent? Attempts by Patch to contact the owners have so far failed. Their phone number just rings and will not accept voicemail messages. The place is deserted but it doesn't look like they just packed up and left... If anyone can shed some light on this, let us know!

Old Town Tucker’s own farmer’s market Sundays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Main Street.
Several new vendors have been added to Green Market on Main. Not every vendor comes every week. If you want to sign up for the weekly market update which tells you which vendors will be there and any specials they might be having, let me know. Also, this Sunday, Monarchs across Georgia will be at the market. They’ll have milkweed for sale (the plant that Monarchs love) and some crafts for the kids. If you want to sign up for their educational outreach, they’ll be glad to help with that too. ** If you want to volunteer for the market or any of the Old Town Tucker events, please let me know. So there is a slight chance of rain for Sunday and it should be 10 degrees cooler than last Sunday – a wonderful July day in Tucker to come out to the …

Create an summer escape for friends by planning a creative menu and shopping local farmers' markets.
Friends and food help make the dog days of summer a little easier to manage. Although we don’t actually need a holiday to call upon friends to bring dish and drink, sometimes the barbecue basics -- hamburgers, slaw, potato salad, beans -- just get a little dull. Try a new twist on your next barbecue picnic. Grab a friend and make a plan. Take your favorite comfort foods cookbook, a great little entertainment guide (a friend recently gave me The Get ‘Em Girls’ Guide to the Perfect Get Together) or even the latest issue of Cooking Light or Everyday with Rachael Ray. Select recipes that create a picnic to remember from spritzers to dessert. Photo copy a recipe for each invitee, but let guests know that ingredient substitutions are welcome …
