plantation review

I thought I would introduce you to our Farmers’ Market. 

As a matter of information, there are fifteen (15) state administered Farmers’ Markets in the State of Georgia; only six (6) of these are year round open air markets.  Thomasville’s is the second largest south of Atlanta.  Here you can find produce brought to the market year round by local farmers and produce that comes from all around the South East.  Also, along with the produce, is local jams, jelly, syrups, honey, relishes of all sorts.  You can have your peas shelled for you if you want to buy a hamper and freeze them. If you happen to have some pecan trees you may want them cracked for you here at the market. This is a family-run operation with at least two generations on site daily working and running the business.  Whatever the item you may want advice on, say the best watermelon or the best sweet potato, just ask Tony (the owner), he will be glad to find the best for you.  He knows his produce!!!

This is a regular routine for us, because my husband does not think he has had a proper meal without a tomato sliced and some Vidalia onion.  He always asks Tony to point him toward the best tomatoes.  My husband is picky about his tomatoes, they must have a good acid taste for them to be his kind of tomato.  So check in the photo gallery and take a look at the photos I have of our trip to the Farmers’ Market.  This was one of their slow days, as usually there are so many people at the market you can’t stir um with a stick.  Here is a link for you that has a list of attractions and events provided, included is the Farmers’ Market http://my.georgia.org/net/org/info.aspx?s=20018.0.26.3011
