Downtown farmers' market starts Saturday

The market is open to items grown or produced in Georgia.

“We will have lots of produce, potted plants, herbs and cut flowers,” Craver said. “I actually had somebody come by who will be brand new to the market selling produce who also might have some locally-made crafts. It would be really neat if the market takes on that aspect as well.”
The area has space for 19 vendors.

Out of concern for public safety, customers will not be able to drive into and through the parking lot this year.

Saturday’s customers can expect to find a variety of traditional “early crops,” said Craver, including yellow and zucchini squash, peppers, green beans, a few tomatoes and possibly some melons brought in from South Georgia.
