Whistle Stop Farmer's Market




Lucky - that is how it feels to live in a small town in America. Especially when our town - Norcross - is nestled into a huge city like Atlanta. We have the best of both worlds. Zip to the city lights if we want or walk to the center of town and enjoy the fabulous events that are alwasy happening on in our little nook.
After many years of working on a plan, we have a Farmer's Market! Tixie Fowler, our wonderful City Coordinator, has made it happen. Find information on our Merchant website: http://www.norcrossnow.com/









Who knew that Farmer's Markets have grown to include breads and jams and cheeses and... and...well LOTS of YUM! We took home some incredible sundried tomato goat cheese and three berry jam. Talk about memories that last. I can still taste the jam that melted onto my toast this AM!









Each June our Norcross Neighbors - www.norcrossneighbors.com - hosts an Ice Cream Social and we give out ice cream in bowls or cones to all the little faces in the park that afternoon - some of the big ones get ice cream too! Mojito's - a scrumptious place to eat cuban food in town provided the ice cream again this year. (Look them up on www.urbanspoon.com) If vanilla and choclolate weren't glorious enough, they have created a signature sorbet named after their restaurant! Scrumptious!!! Many satisfied customers later - we had to find a faucet to de-sticky ourselves! But it was worth it to see all the smiles!









If you live close by - stop into our town and visit with us. We'd love to have you!! You can also check out all of the eventsfor the summer at the city website: http://www.norcrossga.net/!
