The Market at Ag Heritage Park

The Market is an open-air, growers-only farmers market that operates each Thursday, May-August, at Ag Heritage Park on the Auburn University campus. Hosted by the College of Agriculture, The Market features area vendors offering fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, herbs, ornamental plants and cut flowers as well as locally produced jams and jellies, baked goods, soaps, honey, goat cheese and more.

This Week’s Vendors

Now in its 13th season, The Market at Ag Heritage Park gives Auburn University employees and students and all area residents the opportunity to Buy Fresh, Buy Local, directly from the growers.

The weekly farmers market is open to the public, and everyone is welcome. It is held rain or shine, unless severe weather poses a danger to vendors and customers.

The Market first opened in 2004 and is a service of the Auburn University College of Agriculture in partnership with the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station.

The 2017 season will run from Thursday, May 11, to Thursday, Aug. 24. Hours are 3 to 6 p.m.
