Mulberry Market is generally held rain or shine, but we will cancel the market if weather conditions pose a danger. Again, be sure to sign up for our weekly market bulletin and follow our social media channels to be notified of these closures.

Mulberry Market is held on the grounds of Tattnall Square Park in downtown Macon. Click here for customized turn by turn directions. In addition, the Macon Transit Authority operates several routes that make stops at or near the Market. Click here for information about these routes.

We are fortunate to offer limited free parking in the parking lot immediately adjacent to the Market. There is also ample street parking around the perimeter of the park.

Our growers may change between the seasons based on what their primary crops are. For example, our peach grower only comes out when peaches are in season.

Some of our vendors do have special certifications, like Certified Organic, Certified Naturally Grown, or Animal Welfare Approved; some vendors engage in organic growing practices without becoming certified; and some vendors engage in more conventional growing practices. We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to build a relationship with vendors at the Market and ask them about their growing practices.

A number of market vendors offer food choices for those on restricted diets, including vegan and gluten-free options.

All the vendors accept cash, and many can take a credit or debit card at their tents. You may also come to the market tent to purchase market tokens using credit, debit, or EBT cards.

Our token exchange service is free of charge. You credit, debit, or EBT card will, however, be charged for the amount you want to redeem.

Tokens have no expiration date, so they can be kept for future use.

Unused EBT tokens may be exchanged for a refund back onto your EBT card. Due to various regulations, EBT tokens can never be returned for cash. At this time, we do not exchange credit or debit tokens for refunds.

Only tokens issued by Mulberry Market can be used with our vendors at the Market.

All our vendors accept cash, so there is no need to purchase tokens with cash.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of tokens required; however, we only match EBT tokens up to $50.

You can buy fruits and vegetables, plants that grow food, breads, meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, honey products, baked goods, jams, and sauces. You cannot buy nonfood items, food meant to be eaten on-site, hot foods, alcoholic beverages, or vitamins/medicines.

Of course! We are a pet-friendly market as long as your pet is friendly.

We do not allow smoking of any kind at the Market.

We encourage shoppers to supply their own bags for shopping at the market because not all vendors are able to supply shopping bags.

The Mulberry Market is a community based, producer focused farmers market created and maintained by Community Health Works. In 2009, Community Health Works saw an opportunity to increase access to healthy, food items while providing a sustainable, direct-to-consumer sales outlet for local farmers and ranchers. Community Health Works, the City of Macon, and other partners came together to create the Mulberry Market. As Community Health Works focuses on community health improvement, the Mulberry Market has had a unique focus on health improvement and local agriculture since its inception.
