Featured Farms
Gwinnett County
These two are NOT pick-your-own farms, they are homeowners with a couple of acres, so they have huge gardens and sell their home-grown tomatoes. I've had some of their tomatoes, and they are excellent! Both are very close to Gwinnett Place Mall (Costco, Sam's Club, etc.) Here's where to find them. Be sure to tell them where you heard about them!
- 4215 Old Norcross Road, NW, Duluth, GA, 30096 (at the intersection with West Liddell in Duluth / Norcross). His phone is 770-449-4839. Here's a Mapquest map to their stand. He has been charging $1.50 per pound for Better Boy tomatoes.
- 4895 Old Norcross Road NW, Duluth, GA, 30096. Not far from the stand above, she is charging $1.25 per pound and is open almost every day except Sunday mornings. Here's a Mapquest map to her stand
Email me from Feedback if you'd like to recommend a home vegetable stand in your area! As long as it is truly a home stand, not a big commercial market stand, I'll add it! I'd just like to give the mom and pop (and children) who are selling their extra home grown veggies a boost!
