Studioplex, the live-work community in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward, will offer up fresh fruits and veggies again this summer each Saturday (through November) from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the complex on Auburn Avenue that also houses lovely Serpas.

Chef and former Decatur restaurateur Michele Niesen has been hired as market manager. Niesen retired from her restaurants in 2007 after a ten-year run and headed for the hills of North Georgia to farm. But she’s agreed to manage Studioplex’s Courtyard Market, coming to town once a week with goodies from her farm. She also plans to host cooking demos at the market, presenting various chefs, and ultimately provide fresh local produce, edible market goodies and artisan crafts.

Spaces for local growers, vendors and artists are still available at $25, or $75 for a month or a 5% commission. For more info contact Niesen at 404-428-6300 or at solfood@mindspring.com.
