Famers Markets: Eat Local - A Healthy Choice

Farmers Markets offer an opportunity for residents to have access to fresh, locally grown foods. Gwinnett County Health Department offers a list of local farmers markets.

As we enter the summer months, many communities in Gwinnett County are holding Farmers Markets to make it easier for residents to purchase locally grown foods. These foods do not travel hundreds of miles to get to the markets - local farmers are growing these foods in Gwinnett or surrounding counties. We are also listing some Gwinnett county farms that allow residents to purchase directly from the farm. Check out our website for a list on healthy eating.

All markets and farms listed were found on the Gwinnett County Convention and Visitors Bureau website. If you know of other markets that we can add to this list, please email us with information at healthpromotiongnr@gmail.com.
