In partnership with the City of Atlanta Parks, Recreation and Bureau of Cultural Affairs, Piedmont Park Conservancy's Program Deptartment will host the Green Market, a local farmers market serving Midtown’s population with local goodness, every Saturday morning, May 5 through December 8, 2012, from 9:00am to 1:00pm at Piedmont Park's 12th Street entrance gate.
Voted one of the top five farmer’s markets in Atlanta by Access Atlanta, Green Market encourages sustainable communities in the most basic way - by providing shoppers with direct access to local farmers and merchants. It's as simple as that.
