Buford Highway Farmer's Market - a great break from my weekly Krogering!

Note from Audra:  This is not a paid advertisement.   I just loved this place so much that I had to share with The Aha! Connection. 

 buford highway FMThere are a few things that you need to know about me before reading this article.

  1. I abhor grocery shopping
  2. I love to cook-especially Mexican food
  3. My major in college was International Business/Spanish
  4. I love to travel internationally and whenever I do, I always visit a local grocery store!

 I love Dunwoody and the small town feel of living in a close knit community nestled in the metro limits of "big city" of Atlanta.   Sometimes I get comfortable in my everyday small 10 mile radius and forget to take advantage of the "big city" things nearby.   Yesterday  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE AND TO SEE MY PERSONAL PHOTOS AND A TRAVEL CHANNEL VIDEO! »

Congratulations to Klare McKee and Avis Holbrook of Dunwoody Elementary School!  Support our Dunwoody Cluster and vote for these ladies.   I don't know Ms. Holbrook but I ADORE Ms. McKee.   My eighth grader and I were chatting yesterday about his current rhetoric class and he told me the best writing teacher he has ever had was Ms. McKee in 5th grade at DES!  Three years later and he still remembers that she ROCKS!
