Canton Farmers Market Kicks Off Saturday

CANTON, GA -- Starting Saturday, residents in and around Canton will be able to purchase fresh produce directly from Georgia vendors in the city's central business district.

That's because the Canton Farmers Market will sweep into town. The 2016 season starts May 28 and run each Saturday through Oct. 29. Market hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the market will set up shop at Cannon Park near the gazebo.
