There is a long standing tradition in Atlanta of going to a farmers market early on Saturday or Sunday morning to buy fresh, local items. As the holidays and Christmas draw near there is a growing number or artisans that prepare more holiday themed gifts for people to buy for their loved ones and the farmers market in Marietta Square has a number of choices of vendors who do just that.
