Local Farmers Markets

We are lucky to be living in Cobb County because there are so many local Farmers Markets available to visit. Even better, they aren't all in operation at the same time. There is bound to be one somewhere near you which is open on a day and time that works well for you.

Farmers Markets vary in what they offer. They run from offering only food  to  the opposite end of the spectrum where they offer food, plants, art, craft work, live chickens & rabbits, soap,  cooking demonstrations, music, etc. Each market is unique and fun to visit.

The Granddaddy of them all (locally) is the Marietta Square Farmers Market  It is open Saturday year round (9:00am to 12:00pm) and also has Sunday hours April through November (12:00 to 3:00 pm)

Many other communities offer Farmers Markets besides the ones I've provided links for here. Just search online and you'll find many more. If I'm traveling, I always try to see if there will be one open where I'm going because I always find something interesting.

Local Harvest A great site to find local farms and farmers markets that sell meat, eggs, produce, etc to the public. as well as U-pick's, CSA's, etc. Pick Your Own.org I've used this site quite a few times to find places locally and nationally as well. Farmers & Consumers Market Bulletin You can subscribe to the Georgia Farmers & Consumers Market Bulletin. I've found some wonderful plants and items through it.
