Accepting Food Stamps
The East Atlanta Village Farmers Market (EAVFM) is participating with a pilot program in Georgia for farmers markets to accept food stamps and offer outreach in 2008. This pilot program will provide access
to fresh local food for 4,400 food stamp recipients in the 30316 zip
code and expand the potential customer base for the farmers at the
market.
New Location in EAV
The 2008 East Atlanta Village Farmers Market moves to Village Hardware in EAV right on Glenwood Ave. Why did we move? The new location offers much needed shade to the farmers, more parking and an opportunity to work collaboratively with the expanded garden center (look out for worm composting and rain water catchment demos!).
Rain Barrels
Village Hardware has rain barrels available now to catch the water while we can. White rain barrels as pictured are 65 gallons and cost $89.99. They come with screens, spigot and overflow valve. Black rain barrels with screw top lids and screens also come with an overflow valve and spiggot. These are slightly smaller at 60 gallons, fit into a tighter space and have and everyday price of $119.99. Finally, is the large rain reservoir that collects 275 gallons and is $245.99
