ATLANTA, GA – Today, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper signed a proclamation designating August 3–9, 2026, as “Georgia Farmers Market Week” in recognition of National Farmers Market Week and the important role farmers markets play in supporting Georgia farmers, consumers, and local communities.
“Farmers markets connect Georgians directly with the farmers and producers who grow the food we put on our tables,” said Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper. “When you buy local, you support Georgia farm families, strengthen our food supply chain, and help keep dollars in your community. I encourage all Georgians to visit a local farmers market this week, buy Georgia Grown, and support the hardworking men and women who keep our state fed.”
Georgia is home to a network of nine State Farmers Markets that provide fresh fruits and vegetables throughout Georgia and the Southeast and supporting more than $1 billion in sales each year. In addition, the Georgia Grown Farmers Market Map features more than 50 Georgia Grown-certified markets and farm retail locations across the state, making it easier for consumers to find local products close to home.
From fresh fruits and vegetables to meats, honey, dairy, nursery products, and other Georgia Grown goods, farmers’ markets provide a direct connection between Georgia consumers and the farmers who fuel our state’s agricultural economy.
