The Market Continues

Riverview Landing’s “The Market” is a farm stand where patrons may purchase plants and seedlings from Garden*Hood and local, organic produce - grown, harvested, and sold on-site by Fresh Roots Farm. The Market will be open for seven weeks on Saturday mornings, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., after the May 12 kick-off event.

In addition to purchasing items from The Market, patrons are also able to attend any part of the eight week series of educational seminars, which start on May 12.  The seminars are free and focus on eating and living well, gardening, rainwater harvesting, and other green techniques. 

While The Market is open, dog owners are welcome to bring their pets to play in the dog pasture.

Riverview Landing is located along the Chattahoochee River at 6271 River View Road, SE, Mableton, Ga., approximately five miles west of Jamestown’s award-winning Atlanta property, White Provision, and just four miles from Buckhead.
