Suwanee Farmers Market To Begin 2013 Run

Vegetables, granola, aromatic soaps ... and shoppers ... will begin gathering this Saturday (May 4) for the 2013 version of the Suwanee Farmers Market.

The twice-weekly event will take place Saturday (8 a.m.-noon) and Tuesday (4-7 p.m.) through October 5 at Town Center Park, according to a city news release.

Amy Doherty, events coordinator for Suwanee, says that vendors on Saturday have increased by about five from years past. She said they include King of Pops, which sells gourmet popsicles, locally roasted coffee, and many vendors with produce.

It Began With a Seed, a longtime Suwanee Farmers Market vendor, will be returning.

Also, beginning May 11, representatives from the Gwinnett Cooperative Extension will be on hand every other Saturday to share recipes and discuss in-season produce.
