TIFTON, Ga. - The Grand Opening of the Tifton Farmers Market kicks off in-full Saturday, April 5th in Downtown Tifton. The 9am ribbon cutting will mark the beginning of the spring season of the Tifton Farmers Market.
The Farmers Market will again be held in Tifton Gardens, along 1st Street Extension, next to the Train Depot.
“The Downtown Tifton community is excited to see the Tifton Farmers Market return for their spring season. Back in the fall, we welcomed them to our downtown community and saw a great success and partnership in having them here,” said Main Street Manager Hillery Culpepper. “Through the Tifton Farmers Market, we will be able to purchase farm fresh produce, shake hands with the people that grow our food and support our local economy while creating healthy social connections,” Culpepper added.
The market, owned by Randi, John, and Tatum Hickman, will take place every Saturday during April, May, June, and July. Each market will feature live music, children’s activities and story-time every Saturday at 10 a.m., farm fresh produce, grass/grain fed beef, homemade goodies, and hand-crafted items by local community members.
