Participate in seasonal activities
Brought to you by the Town of Braselton, farmers and bakers gather on the Braselton Town Green in Historic Downtown Braselton to sell their locally grown produce, farm fresh eggs and meat, and baked and canned goods.
The Braselton Farmers Market is a true local farmers market, only accepting vendors selling food items they have grown or made. You won’t find crafts or other non-edible products, and no reselling by vendors is allowed.
