The Scene
A popular destination for serious home cooks from all over the metro area, this friendly farmers' market/gourmet grocery store combines dumbfounding variety, high quality and extremely reasonable prices. Come early or late to avoid the crowd.
The Goods
Pig trotters, 50-pound bags of sushi rice, rosy Black Angus filets, French butter, and cheeses from around the world are just a few of the varied items you'll find. Look for in-house baked bread, a solid selection of wine and beer as well as a small cookbook section. It's no place to shop for staples unless you need to stock up on green tea and organic breakfast cereal. However, some international cuisines--Mexican, for instance--are surprisingly underrepresented. But whether you're shopping for a big dinner party or just putting together a weekend cookout, you'll find that prices here are significantly lower than any of the highbrow competition.

Something has clearly changed at the DFM. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a store manager in my lfe. Mike manager who will not give his last name needs to be fired. He also needs to get a life.

...it was about 9 p.m., we almost finished filling our carts when they were going to close. They didn't allow us to take the last item, used of the dirty language and behaved an offensive way (the workers as well as the manager). Moreover, they literally pushed us out of the place without all the staff in our carts we were going to purchase. They treat their customers like sh1t. No more shopping there! i will better pay more in the other places. The manager is truly morally impaired. With such a "service", I hope to see them out of business soon. People like those, strangle this beautiful country.

I purchased food from Your Dekalb Farmer's Market's (YDFM's) "cash only" cafe. My amount was $6.34. I paid it with a $20.00 bill. The cashier returned to me $13.66 in change. After eating, I shopped for groceries which came to approximately $19.76, I attempted to pay with another $20.00 bill, and the $10.00 bill that came from YDFM's $13.66 change. The cashier marks both bills, then states that the $10.00 is counterfeit. In the confusion, she never gave me back my clean $20.00 that I tried to put with the $10.00 YDFM passed to me. This $10.00 is eventually given to Mahburbuy Rahman. Rahman, who later stated he was a supervisor, and not a manager, asked for my receipt. When I told Rahman I threw my receipt in the trash, and that someone would have to find it, he stated that he did not need the receipt, but that he would find the cafe cashier to see if that person remembered passing the $10.00. When Rahman brought an employee to me, I did not remember him, and the man did not remember me. When I restated that someone needed to go through the trash, Rahman replied that I could go and look through the trash, but that no one would accompany me. Both YDFM's undercover security, who were extremely unprofessional, concurred. By this time, I had called DeKalb County police to make a report. I also knew better than to reenter YDFM without an escort. When police officer Wright arrived, I explained what happened and walked him to the cafe stating that I needed a report, and either a copy of the receipt, or that I would need to get it from the trash. Long story short: YDFM did not have a duplicate receipt; I looked through the trash until officer Wright needed me to come out front; officer Wright stated YDFM was not pressing charges; I told officer Wright that I was the one who should press charges since YDFM passed the counterfeit bill to me; officer Wright stated that YDFM wanted me to leave the premises; the second YDFM security person stated that I was banned permanently; officer Wright stated that was YDFM's right. So I am out of not only the $10.00, an additional $20.00, my weekly groceries, and basically the only place that I shop for groceries.
