Organic shopping - Jessie

July 21, 2008

Jessie,

Have you ever been to the Dekalb Farmers Market, there in the Atlanta area? I

love this place and their cafe had delicious food. They have lots of organic

produce and products. Their breads are organic too and the over 200 different

varieties are outstanding. The Lemon Apple Walnut Raisen bread is wonderful, as

are their bagels, rustic Italian and French Bread and so many more.

Re: Organic Gardening

Hi Maxine,

I live in Atlanta and all of my gardening is organic. This year I only grew

tomatoes and peppers but so far I've had good luck with both. I use lots of

mushroom compost in the soil, buy organic fertilizers and if I have any pest

problems I use a natural product called Neem (although I used it as sparingly as

possible). I worked at a garden center for eleven years so I'm familiar with a

lot of products, let me know if I can help you with anything.

Hi,

I have been a member of this group for sometime.

I wanted to know if anyone has done some organic gardening

of their own (preferrably in the TX Weather) and if they

have had success with anything in particular?

thank you.

Oh yeah! I try and go there every few weeks but it gets so crowded on the

weekends that I have to be in the mood to go. I'm crazy about their breads too

and love that you can buy them in half-loaves so I don't waste any. Do you

live in the area?

I used to live there and everytime I pass thru there or come for a visit, I try

and pop into their. I love it. Yesterday we were passing thru and ate lunch

there and picked up some items. Their vegetable samosa are very good,

especially with their samosa sauce. I brought several home and had 2 for

breakfast. Yummmmm they were good and I also had some fresh cherries. Their

spices and flowers and everything there except for that fresh seafood are

wonderful too. Don't you just love how the ingredients in their breads are all

things like you would put in your bread if you were making it and none of that

extra stuff.

Yes, I do love that about their bread! I was baking my own bread for awhile but

after I discovered theirs I don't bother baking it anymore unless I'm in the

mood. It's just as good as homemade and pretty affordable.

I guess there's another big farmers market south of Atlanta but I've never been

there. Are you familiar with it? I think it's just called the Georgia Farmers

Market.

It is nothing like Dekalb Farmers International Farmers Market.

At the State Farmers Market, it is row after row of farmers who bring their

produce, honey, plants, etc... and sell it there. You basically drive along

each row and ask them how much each thing is and then buy from who ever you want

to there. You pay the person actually selling it. I personally didn't go there

often, as it takes more time and doesn't have nearly the selection of the Dekalb

Farmers Market, where you have things from all over the world there. A lot of

your community produce stands owners, goes there and buys from them in quanity

and then sell it at their stand back in their communities. I know that is what

the local produce stands here does as well as buy from local farmers, some of

their excess.

I'm glad you told me that, I think I'll save myself the trip. It doesn't sound

like much fun. I would rather walk around and check things out. I live in East

Atlanta and we have a local farmers market once a week and where we can buy

directly from the farmers. It's fun but the selection is pretty small. Still,

I like supporting our local growers.
