PRESS RELEASE

WOODSTOCK, GA (Feb. 8, 2024) – Vendor applications for Woodstock’s Farm Fresh Market are now being accepted throughout the month of February. This year will mark the 16th season of the Market, which runs every Saturday morning from mid April to the end of December.

The rules of the Farm Fresh Market require vendors to grow at least 85% of the product they bring to market, which helps to guarantee that it remains one of the best markets in the region to find locally grown, fresh produce throughout the year.

“Vendors will be reviewed and approved for the Market starting in March, so everyone has the full month of February to turn in their applications,” shared Kyle Bennett, who oversees the operation of the Market as Tourism Manager for the city. “Applications will be approved based upon the quality and fit for the market, not on a first come basis.”

As a bit of history, the Woodstock Farm Fresh Market was commissioned to 1) provide local growers an outlet to showcase and market products; 2) publicize the importance of locally grown products; 3) provide opportunities for presentations and demonstrations related to agriculture, gardening, food safety and preparation; and 4) allow the citizens of Woodstock and the surrounding area the opportunity to buy healthy, locally grown products to enhance their quality of lifestyle.

Interested vendors can find applications online at www.visitwoodstockga.com/market, as well as in person from the Woodstock Visitors Center (8588 Main Street). Over 50 applicants will be approved for this year’s market.

The Woodstock Farm Fresh Market will be open every Saturday from April 20 to December 28, 2024. Market hours are 8:30am to 12pm. The market is located on Market Street in Downtown Woodstock.
