The Heritage Sandy Springs Farmers Market on Saturday will open for the 2015 season.

The market will open at 8:30 a.m. April 11 and will temporarily operate at its original location — 235 Sandy Springs Circle — on April 18 and April 25.

Opening day will feature the harmonious sounds of the Bitsyland String Band. Residents will also be able to savor a chicken kebab with Moroccan souk, ginger teriyaki or Theo’s Steakhouse spice to inaugurate grilling season with market sponsor, Whole Foods Sandy Springs.

Residents should take note that the market on Saturday, May 2 will relocate to another location for the remainder of the 2015 season: Century Springs East at 6100 Lake Forrest Drive, which is sits at the corner of Lake Forrest Drive and Mt. Vernon Highway.

The relocation is necessary, as the original market location on Sandy Springs Circle will be home to the new Sandy Springs City Center project. Construction is expected to begin on the project as early as summer 2015.

Market hours will run every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon from April through November.

Each Saturday market features live music and nearly 50 vendors offering an abundance of fresh, local produce, along with pasture-raised meat and pork products, farm fresh eggs and dairy products and a wide variety of prepared foods.

A complete list of 2015 vendors can be found online.
