The Brookwood Farmers’ Market is excited to announce the kick-off to our third season.  We are thrilled to be moving the market from the Brookwood Elementary School parking lot to the brand new Caney Creek Preserve park, just around the corner on Caney Road . In years past the market suffered from the heat of the pavement but the new park will provide a lush and shady alternative! Caney Creek Preserve also boasts a dog park, walking trail, shaded playground, pavilions, restroom facilities, parking and a natural outdoor amphitheater.

Forsyth County has slated the Grand Opening of the park to take place Friday June 15th

in conjunction with our Brookwood Farmers’ Market kickoff!

We are looking forward to a great season of sharing natural, local, organic goods and products with our neighbors and friends.  We will also be encouraging our young kids to learn how to make healthy choices and plant their own gardens! Although our location is changing, the Brookwood Elementary PTA is still managing the market and money raised will be returned to the school and put back into the farmers market.

If you are a weekly publication or your publication has a calendar please highlight the market for every Friday 4-7 p.m. from June 15th through September

Please check out our website as we will be constantly updating it with a list of committed and amazing vendors and musicians.
