Fresh farm produce, The Statesboro Main Street Farmers Market is in full swing, having kicked off its 17th season in April with a celebration of local flavor, creativity and fun. Strolling through the market, you’ll enjoy the sweet smell of freshly baked treats, familiar faces laughing and chatting about their week, and folks flocking to the fresh flower booth. More than just a shopping trip, this is a chance to slow down and celebrate the community of Statesboro. 

Every Saturday from April through November, The Market at Visit Statesboro transforms into a lively regional hub from 9 a.m. 12:30 p.m. Whether you’re a local who knows exactly where to find the best baked goods or a visitor just stopping by, the market is a place where everyone is welcome to explore and connect with one another.

Why locals love it 

The Statesboro Main Street Farmers Market is a Bulloch County staple that brings the best parts of the community together for a celebration every Saturday. As a matter of fact, the market was voted the Best Place to Go for People Watching in Discovering Bulloch’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards!

“This season is off to a great start,” said Kelsie Cobb, market manager. “It is beyond rewarding to see so many people come out and support small business owners and local farmers. I don’t think there is a better way to spend Saturday mornings in Statesboro!" 

It's that personal connection that makes the market so unique and keeps people coming back, week after week. Behind every product, there’s a story, and every Saturday there is a chance to discover something new. Maybe it's talking with a farmer about the chickens that laid this week’s batch of eggs, or learning how a local artist discovered his or her passion. We encourage you to ask questions and talk to the vendors to learn more about what you’re purchasing.
