This little piggy went to the farmstand…

Slick and I have been spending more time now than ever in the Westside Provisions District.  While strolling around the area one afternoon + waiting on our sandwich orders at Star Provisions, I walked out to the front of the complex and was surprised to see a quaint, little farmstand in front of the building.

Is this cute or what?  I didn’t realize that it was there!  So unexpected in such an industrial area.

Here’s the Q+DD on The Local Farmstand:

The Local Farmstand at the Westside Urban Market is the joint effort of two local farmers: Nicolas Donck of Crystal Organic Farm and Joe Reynolds of Love is Love Farm.  The Local Farmstand offers delicious, healthy produce from both farms, as well a selection from other trusted local farmers, including Jenny Jack Sun Farm, Double B, Evie’s Country Garden, Walker Farms, Featherwise Farm and Riverview Farm.  The knowledgeable staff can assist with your selection, and even help you plan the preparation.  TLF strives to provide the finest variety from trustworthy sources, as well as relevant information about our products and happenings around the Atlanta foodshed.

The Local Farmstand is more than a reliable, convenient and trustworthy produce stand, it’s a community touchstone – a place where you can become a part of Atlanta’s growing local food movement.

Everything looked incredibly fresh and delicious. 

Later that day, I went home and did some online research on The Local Farmstand.  What a great idea!  What aren’t there more of these?  My favorite part of the stand’s website is their “In Season” page: http://snipurl.com/xi5yc.  Eating local means eating seasonal, and this chart gives you an idea of what to look out for at the farmstand each month. 

The Local Farmstand is open Tuesday – Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.  Love!
