For our organic food and farm fans: Hello! I wanted to get the word out to fellow neighbors that Farm Mobile, a local farmers market on wheels, is adding a new stop in your neighborhood. We carry locally grown, organic veggies and grass fed meats. I'm hoping this might be of interest to everyone in the neighborhood. We will be parked in the Vista Grove parking lot in front of Sprig at 2860 Lavista Rd. on Fridays from 12pm to 2:30pm. More about us, including our full Atlanta schedule, can be found at www.grassfedcow.com or on facebook (Farm Mobile). ... Donna Toepfer, Riverview Farms, dmtoepfer@gmail.com
