There's good news for folks living in Brainerd - or really anywhere in Chattanooga! Grace Episcopal Church has begun hosting a farmers' market on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; this Saturday marks the the market's third week. Grace is eager to support the people who grow food in and near Chattanooga as well as offering its neighbors a chance to buy food grown in good soil, harvested recently and raised without the many chemicals that can cause health problems. Along with the farmers, some of Grace's food-enthusiasts will have a table at the market offering recipes, food preparation ideas, and other useful information. You can support local farmers and take home healthy food for your family with one visit to Grace's Brainerd Road parking lot. Please visit! (For directions, please click on the link above.)
