Battlefield Farmers Market Looking for Local Farmers & Vendors for 2013 Season
Tuesday, March 19th at 7:00 PM at the Walker County Agricultural Center located just behind the Civic Center.

Battlefield Farmers Market will be having their annual membership drive, and the meeting is open to new members, long standing members, supporters and volunteers. 

Battlefield Farmers Market members support the areas local economy by growing and selling fresh fruits, vegetables, breads, eggs and grass-fed beef in our area at the Walker County Agricultural Center. 

The market is starting their 9th season Walker County and is always open to new members from the local area. Members are accepted from the following counties: Walker, Dade, Catoosa, Whitfield, Gordon, Floyd and Chattooga in Georgia; DeKalb and Jackson in Alabama; as well as Marion and Hamilton in Tennessee.

This years’ market is scheduled to open Saturday, May 4th and will run through Nov. 9th for the 2013 season. The market is looking for volunteers to help with events like “Kids Days” on the 4th Saturday each month when the market is open. This will give parents time to shop at our market while their children have a fun place to go to learn, play and be in a safe atmosphere. 

Artisans and artists are also invited to apply to sell their items. Imported items or items to resale are not accepted. Items must be handmade.
