INTRODUCING:
WESTSIDE FARMERS MARKET We’re so excited to announce our newest, greenest venture: Westside Provisions District Farmers Market. Hosted in conjunction with Community Farmers Markets (CFM), managers of the East Atlanta, Decatur, and Grant Park Farmers Markets (among other fine ventures), the Westside Farmers Market will run May through September on Sundays from 10am to 2pm in “The Lane,” behind Yeah! Burger. Look for locally sourced produce and humanely raised meat, eggs and dairy, artisan delicacies, fresh bread, baked goods, and more. The best part? You’re just steps from your favorite breakfast, lunch, and tippling destinations, such as West Egg Café, Ormsby’s, and Yeah! Burger. The market will also feature exciting partnerships with WSPD merchants, such as a Sunday flower boutique from Le Jardin, cookbook signings, chef demos and more!

REALLY GREEN STUFF JCT. BAR, THE FIFTY-NINER COCKTAIL
AT WSPD, “REALLY GREEN” IS “REALLY GOOD” We’re proud that so many of our shops and restaurants are committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices. Most of our restaurants serve locally grown and sustainably raised meats and produce. Bacchanalia even takes it a step further, offering dishes made from ingredients grown on owners Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison’s family farm, Summerland. Our shops, too, offer a variety of reclaimed, repurposed, recycled, and sustainably sourced goods. This article features just a few WSPD shops who stand out as “really green.” Visit westsidepd.com to learn more about all of Westside Provisions District’s merchants, restaurants, and events.
JCT. Bar uses the same locally-sourced, sustainably harvested ingredients served at JCT. Restaurant. The Fifty-Niner Cocktail, pictured, is made with Mercier Apple Cider and Mercier Apples from Blue Ridge, GA. Beverage Manager Eduardo Guzman prizes the consistency of local products and believes they produce brighter flavors.
