The grocery store is hosting a dinner Friday where shoppers will be able to meet some of the farmers and chow down. The price to reserve is $20.
Just got this in from the people over at Whole Foods Briarcliff. It seems one of their (relatively) local pork producers got an award for its humane treatment of animals. If you've got $20, you can chow down on some of their foods and meet some of the farmers Thursday: Whole Foods Market Briarcliff is celebrating local vendor – Thompson Farms – who has received a 5+, the highest rating from Global Animal Partnership.

A few tipsters told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution gossip column that Denzel Washington has been shopping at the grocery store while shooting a film in Atlanta.
If you like Whole Foods Market on Briarcliff Road, keep your eyes peeled the next time you're shopping. That guy taking the last bag of bagels–right as you were reaching for it–could be Denzel Washington. True story. Buried at the bottom of a recent Jennifer Brett column in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was a mention that several tipsters told her Washington was seen shopping at the grocery recently. He's going to here shooting a movie later this fall called Flight. With this and Teen Wolf and the Jennifer Garner movie, the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area is like a revolving door for Hollywood.
