friday feature: yeah! burger

yeah! burger, a new burger joint opened in my working neck of the woods. burger places are popping up all over atlanta, but this organic love child of chef shaun doty is pretty irresistible. however, what i love as much as the turkey burger on whole wheat with grilled vidalia onions and blue cheese is the branding! tad carpenter is the master mind behind all of the genius colors and drawings. i just can't get enough of it!

yeah! burger is of the same vein as taqueria, self serve and casual albeit much more kid friendly. they have high chairs! woot. i can't wait to take sam and share a "concrete" which is a glorified blizzard made using straus family creamery's soft serve. yum!

friday feature: marietta farmer's market

the market is open on saturday mornings until november. flowers, jam, vegetables...and lots of people and dogs! go early to get a parking space. the market has been a huge success and continues to grow. i was so inspired and very excited to see atlanta fresh there! i discovered this delicious local yogurt at star provisions. delicious and creamy. i love the caramel flavor. yum.

friday feature: lost mountain nursery

my mom and i visited one of our all time favorite nurseries this past week. for years we have made the trek to lost mountain nursery and boy was it worth it! the plant selection and design can not be beat and there is a true gardeners spirit in the air. come early as most of the plants are in full sun and leave plenty of time to wander aimlessly as you dream of where to put that "perfect" plant...













looking forward to sharing my eventful weekend with you...

friday feature: farmer d organics

i want to start profiling people, small businesses, etc that i think are doing or creating something unique or interesting (hopefully both!).

to kick things off i'd like to introduce you to farmer d organics.


creator daron joffe (farmer d) and some new green thumbs

farmer d's philosophy: Going beyond organic to bring balance and healing to agriculture from large farms to backyard gardens. By applying biodynamic principles to agriculture and urban gardens, Farmer D Organics strives to empower people to grow healthy foods and sustainable communities.






{raised beds to go}

mama and i took til to farmer d's earlier this week to stock up on some organic herbs and vegetables. at 10 am the tiny store connected to an eco car wash was all a buzz. the phone was ringing off the hook. the staff took the time to answer everyone's questions and sent customers off in the right direction.










i would definitely suggest checking back often as the store gets new shipments regularly. egg laying chickens will be arriving soon!

biodynamic compost can be found at pike nursery and whole foods.
