CORNELIA, GA – The City of Cornelia is starting a Farmers Market at the Historic Depot at 102 Grant Place in order to bring fresh local produce to our community as well as other locally produced wares.
The Farmers Market will be on Fridays from 4 p.m.- 8 p.m., and it is interested in recruiting vendors from all over Northeast Georgia to be a part of this exciting new opportunity for our city. It seeks farmers and vendors who sell homegrown produce, plants, flowers, eggs, pottery, bread, or homemade jams and jellies.
If you have a unique homegrown business please let us hear from you. Please go to www.corneliafarmersmarket.com and submit your application and read through the vendors rules and regulations. Space is limited and all vendors will need to be able to meet criteria set forth in the vendor rules and regulations.
