Since 1978, the Cumming Farmers Market has offered a summer market in the Cumming Fairgrounds Parking lot #3, but this fall, this decades-long tradition will begin a new chapter of its life. After the final day of the summer market on September 28th, the market will be permanently relocated to the Cumming City Center, where it will now be open year-round.
Currently, the Cumming Farmers Market runs from the first of June until the end of September on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
“We’re so excited to be partnering with the City of Cumming to move the market to our new home at the City Center where we can now provide a year-round market to our community,” Randy Gazaway, the market manager, said.
The City Center Farmers Market will pick up where the Fairgrounds market leaves off, opening on Saturday, October 1st for the fall season. From October through May, the market will be open from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays only.
“Our Farmers Market has been a part of the Cumming and Forsyth County community for more than four decades and we have a very loyal customer base, but our vendors are happy to hopefully reach even more people through the new year-round market at the City Center,” Gazaway said. “The Cumming Farmers Market is here to support our entire community with the freshest and tastiest products available, so we couldn’t be happier to now be able to provide those high-quality items all year long.”
The Cumming Farmers Market features a variety of products that are all locally produced or grown in Forsyth and nearby counties.
