Fall is for Farmer’s Market!

Acworth Farmer’s Market – Friday mornings, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. until October 28

Acworth is special because of our people. Market day is a great way to get to know the Farmers and neighbors who make our city great. In Fall, the market fills with seasonal bounty like lush green leafy char, all manner of peppers, butter beans, fava beans, and of course, squash and okra. If you need some ideas about how to prepare anything, just ask! Alongside the abundant Georgia-grown produce, our market vendors have eggs, cheese, delicious fresh-baked bread, pies, cakes, honey, and jams to choose from each week. Come out and eat local while you connect with the community. The market takes place in Logan Farm Park, located at 4405 Cherokee Street in Acworth. More About Acworth Farmers Market
