30 Reasons to LOVE Farmview Market

If you take a foodie on a road trip, you are probably making a rest stop driving east from Atlanta along I-20 in Madison, GA. The foodie will notice the local produce and Georgia Grown products and want to linger for a while. The foodie will linger so long that he’ll get hungry and get a meal at Farmview Cafe. 

The foodie will have such a fresh, delicious meal that he’ll want to recreate it at home, so he’ll visit the butcher, bakery, and fresh produce stands to get his ingredients. The foodie won’t forget- with all this wonderful food, he’ll need good decor for his table. So, the foodie will grab some beautiful, hand-made products to decorate. 

Later that evening, the foodie will enjoy his home-made meal so much that he will want to visit Farmview Market again! The foodie will realize there are so many reasons - 30, in fact- to visit Farmview Market!

• Big Green Rooster. When the Farmview front yard was in need of some pizzazz, owners turned to neighbors Great Estates Landscaping to create a piece of iconic art. Then, the Big Green Rooster was born. Fun fact: the LED Lights on the rooster are managed online, so the color can be easily changed, creating the perfect selfie spot for any traveler on the way through. #BigGreenRooster
• Beautiful Historic Barns. The Farmview Market building is actually two historically restored barns, which were relocated to Georgia from upstate New York. The barns represent two different barn styles and are from the 1700s and 1800s. How cool?
• Dog-Friendly. Pets need a break too! There is plenty of space outside at Farmview Market for them to stretch their legs.
• Location, location, location! The Market’s location on Exit 114 from Atlanta makes it easy to get on and off I-20. Plus, it’s only minutes from historic downtown Madison, GA!
• Meeting space! Need a place for your group to meet? Farmview has a rental room that accommodates 50!
• Rocking Chairs. Rocking chairs on the front porch invite guests to sit and enjoy the fresh, country air (and maybe a few treats from inside).
