Farmers Market Finds: What’s in Season in Georgia
There’s just something about visiting a local farmers market that makes everything feel a little more grounded. Whether you're shopping for fresh produce or just browsing with an iced coffee in hand, it’s a great way to slow down and soak up the season.
If you're wondering what’s fresh and local this time of year in Georgia, here’s a peek at what you’ll likely find—and a few tips for making the most of your visit.
Depending on the region and weather, here are some of the local stars you might spot at your farmers market right now:
Strawberries – Sweet, juicy, and at their peak. Perfect for snacking or tossing into a salad.
Peaches – Our Georgia pride! Look for soft, fragrant fruit for the best flavor.
Greens – Collards, kale, Swiss chard, and lettuce are still going strong.
Zucchini & Yellow Squash – These summer staples are super versatile (grill them, roast them, or spiralize for a light pasta dish).
Green Beans – Crisp and fresh—great steamed, sautéed, or tossed in a cold salad.
Blueberries & Blackberries – Ideal for pies, smoothies, or just eating by the handful.
Tomatoes – The early ones are starting to roll in, and nothing beats a Georgia-grown tomato.
Go early for the best selection (and the best parking!).
Bring cash and a tote bag—some vendors may not take cards, and plastic bags can be tricky with produce.
Ask questions—farmers love sharing tips about what’s freshest or how to cook something new.
Try something unfamiliar—like garlic scapes or rainbow chard. It’s a fun way to mix up your meals.
Support local beyond produce—look for handmade goods, fresh flowers, honey, jams, or even baked treats.
Even if you’re not a regular cook, walking through a farmers market is a great way to feel connected to your community—and to your food. So if you haven’t been in a while, maybe this weekend’s the perfect time to check one out!
