The State Farmers Market is conveniently located on I-40 and Lake Wheeler Road, exit 297. Covering 75 acres, the modern facility provides up to 225,000 square feet of covered, climate controlled, all season retail and wholesale spaces. There are special promotions planned throughout the year to bring attention to commodities during the peak of their individual growing season. Here is a list of activities we've got planned.
All dates are tentative.
More than a mouthful is what you will see at the watermelon eating contest, as well as seed spitting and much more at this year's festival. The entire contest is for 7 to 11 year olds. We will also be giving a slice of watermelon to all visitors. All activities will take place in Farmers 2. Gourds are cousins of squash.
