Lilburn Farmers Market

Lilburn Farmers Market is co-sponsored by Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, which also hosts the market at 1400 Killian Hill Road in Lilburn. That pairing gives the market a defined home base for its summer Friday run from May through August. The market also ties food access and neighborhood programming into that setting through Georgia Fresh for Less, SNAP matching from Wholesome Wave Georgia, and a calendar that mixes market shopping with music and community booths. For shoppers, it reads as a weekly market with a church-site anchor and a clear summer rhythm rather than a drop-in pop-up.

Why it matters locally

Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church is more than the backdrop here: it is a co-sponsor, placing the market inside an established Lilburn institution rather than a stand-alone sales site. The market also presents itself as a place for producer-only vendors and local farmers to bring products directly to the Lilburn community. That producer-only emphasis matters because it shapes the market toward growers and makers selling their own work, not a broad resale model.

Local connection shows up in the market's recurring partnerships as well. The Booth for a Cause program offers organizations a free fundraising venue if they do not compete with paying vendors and helps those groups share information with market shoppers while promoting the market in return. The summer calendar names groups including Gwinnett Master Gardeners, the Gwinnett County Library System, Parkview Mountain Bike Team, and The Meliora School, tying weekly shopping to nearby organizations.

What you'll find there

This market's strongest documented emphasis is how it recruits vendors: producer-only sellers and local farmers are the focus, so the mix is oriented toward direct-from-producer shopping rather than a general vendor fair. The public-facing materials here describe programs and events more clearly than individual vendor rosters.

• -Producer-only vendors are the stated target for the market, with local farmers specifically invited to join.
• -Local farmers are part of the market's stated vendor focus for presenting products to the Lilburn community.

The event calendar adds extra activity on select Fridays, including music by The Nearly Normal String Band, Lilburn Farmers Market Acoustic Band, and Shambolia. Community appearances also include Booth for a Cause dates, a LifeSouth Community Blood Mobile stop, and a Holiday Pop-up Market later in November.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest visit policy to plan around here. The market runs on Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m., a later-day schedule that makes it more of an early-evening stop than a morning errand. The market is hosted at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, at 1400 Killian Hill Road, which gives you a fixed destination instead of a rotating seasonal site.

If you need a point of contact, Mandy McManus is the market manager. Restrooms are not available, so this is a useful stop to plan as a shorter visit rather than a long stay. The market's calendar also shows that some Fridays include live music, Booth for a Cause partners, or other programmed activities, so the feel can vary from one week to the next.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Lilburn Farmers Market, and Wholesome Wave Georgia matches SNAP/EBT dollars dollar for dollar at the market. The market is also part of Georgia Fresh for Less, reinforcing that food access is built into how shoppers can use benefits here. Payment methods are presented clearly for visitors, which helps if you're deciding how to pay before arriving.
