Lawrenceville Hosts Weekly Farmers’ Market

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (may 9, 2007) - Please join us for our 4th Annual Lawrenceville Farmers’ Market on the Square every Saturday from July 7 through September 29. 

   Each week the Lawrenceville Farmers' Market will open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in historic downtown Lawrenceville in the parking lot behind the Crogan Street fountain directly across from the Historic Courthouse front entrance. The market draws a host of farmers, home canners, and individuals who grow their own products. 

   Lawrenceville Tourism & Trade Association Executive Director, Jay Markwalter, said “The Lawrenceville Farmers’ Market has really “grown” over the last three years to include a terrific variety of products and fun. Whether you’re coming downtown for your weekly, fresh produce or visiting our historic shopping district, the Lawrenceville market has become a Saturday morning treat to pick up not only fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers but also unique baskets, soaps, honeys, and jams. The local growers provide both a beautiful variety of produce and a friendly environment of town fellowship among the market shoppers and growers themselves. Occasionally, live folk or bluegrass music provides a toe-tapping, mid-morning market experience as you stroll, filling your bag with ripe and seasonal selections. “

   The Lawrenceville Farmers’ Market is sponsored by The Lawrenceville Tourism & Trade Association, Lawrenceville Women’s Club and Touchstone Homes.
