We've got egg-cellent news! The Dahlonega Farmer's Market is just over a month away from opening day. Fresh fruits and veggies, flowers, eggs and bread; we can't wait! Cooking is so much more fun when you're using locally sourced farm-fresh ingredients, don't you think?

The market's first day is Saturday, May 4th and will continue through summer into the fall. Not sure of the closing date yet, but it's usually in October. 

Tuesdays from 2-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. just got a little happier, agreed? See you there!

Well, HO-HO-HOllywood came calling in 2016 when the Hallmark movie Christmas in Homestead was filmed in Dahlonega. It truly was a sight to see! Filming took place in September and early October, and fake snow and decorations covered the square. Seemed strange that the leaves were still on their trees...and that some were changing. Didn't quite match the 'snow' on the ground! But watch the movie below...it's hard to tell it wasn't winter!

PS - Our apologies for the subtitles! This is the best video we could find online.

If we had a dollar for every time we were asked where to eat on the square, in the words of Maren Moriss...we'd be rich. Our most consistent recommendation? Capers Greek Restaurant. While they do have the traditional favorites; Spanakopita, Moussaka, Gyros - they're not afraid to branch out and seasonally add more regional choices to their menu. This rotating choice of dishes adds to the fun ambience that keeps us coming back for more! Here's a few of our recent favorite dishes:

Eggplant Napolean

Athena Salad

Coconut Curry Mussels

Dahlonega is magic. From her majestic rolling hills to her breathtaking waterfalls...to the kindness of the people who live here. This place just seems to inspire so many people in so many different ways. The latest casualty of a love affair with this wonderful town? Miss Ashley McBride and her hit single Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega. If you're a believer in the old cliche 'everything happens for a reason', you'll appreciate the story behind this new hit song's lyrics. Give the tune a listen here, and don't be ashamed if you hit repeat a couple of times!
