Farmers Markets in Macon

Macon’s hidden gems are our Farmers and Crafts Markets. Because we’re in the land of sun and vegetation, we are never too far from fresh produce. There are plenty of opportunities to buy Georgia Grown products at one of our markets. Our Macon State Farmers Market has more than 12 vendors regularly selling fresh produce and two nurseries. There are also two restaurants serving barbecue and soul food, a bakery, and a butcher shop. It’s the only market in the city that is open every day, excluding major holidays.

The Mulberry Street Market at Tattnall Square Park has grown so much that it moved from its original location on Mulberry Street to its current home at Tattnall Square Park. This producer-only farmers market is open every Wednesday from 3:30-6:30 pm. What’s cool about the Mulberry Street Market is that it prides itself on making fresh produce available to everyone, regardless of income.

On the third Sunday of each month, you can head downtown to check out The Market! You can find a variety of hand-made goods, local produce, and more. Vendors will be set up on Poplar Street in the block between First Street and Second Street from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

At the Wesleyan Market on Wesleyan College’s campus, you can enjoy food, art, music, educational displays, animal adoptions, and demonstrations on pottery or gardening. This outdoor market is held every second Saturday of the month, and the fourth Saturday during the summer months.
