It’s time to get your heapin’ helpin’ of  the finest local apples.  The cooler air and Autumn’s official welcome has us craving apple pie, apple cider, candied apples…all the yummy possibilities.  Our vendors will be offering special apple themed treats this week and our apple vendor is bringing in truck loads of apples.  Market Peaches (who brought us those scrumptious peaches) is stocking up on all sorts of apple goodies as well; fried apple pies and cider.  The apples come fresh from Mercier Farms direct to Brookwood Farmers’ Market.

We will also have lots of apple themed games for the kids to play and win prizes.  Fresh & Frozen Hawaiian Shave ice will again have “caramel apple” flavor!

Also, if you haven’t noticed hair feathers are all the rage among young girls and we have a new vendor this week, Hair Connection who will be doing hair feathers (at a cheaper price than most places around town).

Come on out and see us this Friday!

Get your glad rags on and head on out to the Brookwood Farmers’ Market Harvest Hoe Down this Friday September 16th.  It’s sure to be a hootin’ n hollerin’ good time!  There will be lots of fun things for the kids to do including the Market March (much like a cake walk) with fun prizes from our vendors and a free Hay Ride!  Live music will fill the air compliments of Bob Carr ~ a market favorite!  He’ll be singing kid friendly, sing-along, hoe down type music.  Several “ready to eat” vendors like Shane’s Rib Shack, CiCi’s Pizza and the Pressed for Time Panini Truck are coming so you can take care of dinner at the market.  And we will have lots and lots of our favorite vendors on hand!  Grab your market tote and get ready to kick up those heels!

This nice cool weather (and the rain it brought with it) might be putting you in the mood for some well-loved Autumn traditions.  Fall-like temperatures mean big fun at the Brookwood Farmers’ Market.  This Friday we are celebrating Lambert High School Spirit Night.  Come out and shop the market from 4-7 and visit your favorite vendors while the kids get geared up for the Lambert football game at 7:30.  In addition to all the wonderful things our vendors have to offer (local, fresh, organic vegetables, goods and merchandise) we will also be painting faces, applying spirited temporary tattoos and spray painting hair in Bobcat Green and Lambert Crimson!

Joe Perri will be helping us keep things festive with live music.  Gymnastics World of Georgia is donating the use of their big inflatable Castle for the kids’ enjoyment (all for free).  And Fresh & Frozen Hawaiian Shave Ice will be selling the Bobcat (green apple and banana) and the Lambert (Raspberry) flavors along with a few other specials!

So come get your cake pops, tomatoes, tarts…oh and your game face on…at the BFM this Friday September 9th!
