Pepper Place Market in the Lakeview District of Birmingham, Alabama has been connecting local, family farmers with the public since 2000. The 227,000 square foot Pepper Place Complex was the Dr. Pepper Syrup Plant and Bottling Company which was remodeled by local developers at Sloss Real Estate as part of Birmingham’s community revitalization initiative. Today, the market includes approximately 100 tents where growers from a 100 mile radius offer seasonal produce and a variety of items including prepared foods, cheeses, eggs, meats and breads. In recent years, local artisans offering crafts and gifts have contributed to the diversity of items available at the market.
