Cotton Mill Farmers Market

Cotton Mill Farmers Market in Carrollton ties its vendor roster to a practical framework that includes Georgia Department of Agriculture cottage food regulations, giving the market a clear local-food focus rooted in farm and food production rather than resale. The market runs every Saturday year-round, with a main season from April through September and a winter market continuing through March. At 609 Dixie Street, shoppers will find a producer-only market centered on produce, meat, and dairy grown or produced by local farmers, plus a wider vendor mix that extends into baked goods, soap, fiber, art, coffee, and treats.

Why it matters locally

The producer-only model is the clearest reason this market matters in Carrollton: Cotton Mill Farmers Market is set up as a place for produce, meat, and dairy grown or produced exclusively by local farmers. That emphasis keeps the market anchored to nearby farm production rather than a generic retail mix, while the year-round Saturday schedule gives those vendors an ongoing outlet beyond the main April-to-September season.

Its setting also ties the market closely to everyday local use. The market is held in a parking lot belonging to Moore's Chapel UMC, with customer access routed from Alabama Street onto MLK Street and overflow parking behind the church at the Midtown Water Park lot. That layout places the market in a regular, recognizable Carrollton setting rather than a destination built only for special events.
