Kids of all ages, and dogs, can enter a Halloween parade and costume contest Saturday morning at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market.

Norcross-based AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery says mozzarella safe
A Norcross-based dairy has issued a recall on mozzarella cheese sold last week at the Peachtree Road Farmers' Market in Buckhead and other farmers' markets.

I tried to visit this market this morning and there was NO place to park! The cars spilled out on neighborhood streets for blocks. I just went to Trader Joe's, disappointed. Another Buckhead traffic jam and a system overwhelmed that no longer works. : - { more ›
