Roswell Farmers, Artisian Market Returns This Weekend

ROSWELL, GA -- Saturday mornings are about to get tastier now that the Roswell Farmers & Artisans Market returns at 8 a.m. on April 13, and runs through October. The market is located at Roswell City Hall.

Originally conceived in 2007 by then UGA Cooperative Extension Agent, Louise Estabrook, in a joint venture between Roswell Recreation and Parks and Fulton County, the market started with just eight vendors.

In response to feedback from Roswell citizens and founding vendors a number of changes were made. A volunteer organization was formed (RFAMA) to increase local participation in the market, the City of Roswell became the primary partner, the name was changed to the Roswell Farmers and Artisans Market, the market season was extended by six weeks, and the venue was moved to an area shaded by majestic oaks behind City Hall.
