Dekalb Farmers Market

7/25/2009

4/5 stars

California peaches in Georgia feels wrong. But being inland and having the fishies cast their dead stare back mostly through crystal clear eyes rocks. And whole shrimp, heads and all. Oh my. And trimmings. Oooh. Stock time.

This place carries most things you want, but not everything (no little red beans). The meat has grass-fed options but otherwise is typical large producer stuff (but buffalo! they had buffalo! woo-hoo!). Produce is from all over; at least there's an organic option to many items.

Given the happily low prices, I don't think local farmers could do better here than going direct through CSAs or at least other, higher-margin markets. I wouldn't expect a local emphasis. The DeKalb market is definitely a step up from grocery stores in selection and price.
