Bread and Veggies Are Plentiful at Suwanee Market

(Note: This is a regular feature on the Suwanee Farmers Market. The market is open Tuesdays, 4-7 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 a.m.-noon.)

The Suwanee Farmer's Market was bustling on Saturday (June 4) as people enjoyed the fresh vegetables, breads, and barbecue sauce. Many took advantage of the weather by enjoying the interactive fountain after picking up a few things at the market.

Among the items in season are kale, zuchini, squash, and onions of different varieties. Homemade soaps, bbq sauce, and raw honey were among the offerings at the booths at the market on Saturday, along with Belle's Bread Company of Lilburn. 

Belle's Bread is named after Ann Hughes' daughter Belle and is made out of her large ovens in her home kitchen. Belle's Bread is sold at farmers markets in Lilburn, Snellville, and Norcross in addition to the booth in Suwanee.

Caran Sherwood of Belle's Bread Company gives out samples at the Farmers Market while her son, Nathan Sherwood, collects payments. Caran Sherwood reminds those who buy a loaf to "keep the bread refrigerated as it contains no preservatives."

At less than $5 a loaf, Belle's Honey Whole Wheat Bread is well worth a trip to the Farmers Market on a Saturday morning.
