ATLANTA - Aug. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- As the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) celebrates the 15^th National Farmers Market Week from Aug. 3 to 9, residents of Jim Chapman Communities’ Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge stand perfectly poised to celebrate the occasion at the many farmers market surrounding their nearly sold out Cumming active adult community.

“Whenever we ask our current residents what drew them to Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge, the vast majority mention its great location in Forsyth County in northern Metro Atlanta,” said Joan Wise, the on-site agent at Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge. “Not only does the area provide world class shopping and entertainment, but residents also mention that the farmers markets in this part of the state are second to none.”

According to the USDA (http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/farmersmarkets), there are more than 8,000 farmers markets nationwide, with that number growing yearly as more and more Americans experience the superior flavor and community shopping experience available at farmers markets compared to big box grocery stores. USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack was quoted as saying that farmers markets “bring communities together, connecting cities with the farms that support them, and provide Americans across the country with fresh, healthy food.”
