I had seen a few ads and since I was in the Pelham area, I decided I would stop by. I didn't pick up anything from the restaurant side, instead opting for green plums (new to me, and a great find for anyone who loves sour), Chilton County peaches and the most beautiful huge tomatoes... but there was so much more!

Typically, if you get there after 10 AM, it will be pretty packed, especially during the fall months. There is a smallish parking lot (Jeni's Ice Cream parking lot) next to the market. There is also street parking or some small gravel lots on the surrounding streets. In my experience, all parking has been free.

My older sister loves in Fultondale and I visited the farmers market this past week for the first time. It's small compared to most farmers markets that I'm familiar with but for the smaller city of Gardendale I was pleasantly surprised at variety of produce and graciousness of the vendors. There were about five-seven vegetable/fruit vendors (one sold honey as well), a "jam" vendor (I think they sold jarred goods in general), a State Farm agent, a local church giving out lemonade and raising money for VBS, a pie vendor and funny enough a knife/scissor sharpener. And if you've got kids they always have a bounce house to let them get some energy out while you're shopping. They are open every Thursday afternoon from 1-5pm and have actually been around for about seven years, although they've only been located at the civic center for I believe the past three, having previously been located in the K Mart parking lot. Although the fruit/vegetable had limited product, it looks fresh and large and according to the man that organized the farmers market comes from about a 45 mile radius throughout the region. This past week the goods included eggplant, okra, corn, squash, jalapeños/chilies and blueberries. One vendor had peaches and huge blackberries and another also had tomatoes. I was disappointed no one was selling herbs or plants. Prices seemed good, we bought a dozen ears of corn for $5 and the vendor threw in an extra! We also purchased a box of peaches (about 5 large) for $3 and that vendor also threw in an extra--definitely friendly people! If I'm town I'll definitely go back just to support these local farmers, they're quick to share cooking recipes for their products and support other vendors. I hope setting up a yelp page for the market can get the word out and help grow this long time farmers market!

The produce appears to be sold by local farmers and looks fresh from the field, but the night I visited there wasn't much of a selection. Mostly tomatoes, a variety of peppers, and okra. There were some baked goods as well. Other booths were selling hand crafted items like carved wood, clothes, and toys. I'd like to see more farmers and produce at the market, but I think this is a great little community building event on warm summer evenings. I plan on coming back. Maybe if I come earlier there will be a larger variety of produce.

The vibe is simple and homey: check out the menu board, pick your peanuts, grab a beer, and sit back in anticipation. ​Since I couldn't make up my mind, I went with the sampler plate. The second I bit into the collard green brine peanut, it literally burst with flavor. I'm officially a changed woman and fully convinced boiled peanuts are the ultimate Alabama snack. ​My only tiny heads-up: the brine tasting station is a awesome idea, but a quick warning sign like "Careful with these bottles!" would be a lifesaver--I definitely managed to splash a bit on myself! ​Bottom line? The service was wonderful, the peanuts were incredible, and I'll definitely be dragging the rest of my friends back to this unique Birmingham gem.
