Welcome to the Bowdon Farmers Swap & Market

*** We are currently moving the market to another location indoors in Bowdon!

Located in Bowdon, GA

Our Market has been GREAT! With that said the location to which we moved in Bowdon has not had a good response. There is no shelter, shade or bathroom facilities. The original plot of land at the corner is not owned by Mrs. Haney, we had to move across the driveway to another person's land which moved us off the main road. Add in GA Power construction, the heat, stray dogs, and dishonest folks as the Haney's, the Smith's, the Pritchett's & the city of Bowdon, we have decided it best to keep with our values to be honest, reliable, & a friendly market to move it to another location. We have found a new INDOOR location in Bowdon on the Bowdon/Carrollton line. We will be able to accomodate at least 30 vendors indoors and plenty of parking. The new market will open September/October time frame. We apologize for any inconvenience but we wanted you all to know how much we appreciate your support over the last 10 months.

Also please be aware that any advertisements that state "Bowdon Farmers Market" is no longer affiliated with us.

See below for more details.

Bowdon Farmers Swap & Market is serving the Haralson, Heard, Carroll & Cleburne County areas in GA & AL...

Some words & history about us.

Here in the rural & most western part of NW Georgia, right on the Alabama line,tucked away on the outskirts of West Georgia...we saw a need...a need for getting back to basics and preserve a way of life that has been forgotten. We want to offer good healthy fresh food, things like vegetables, meats, breads, preserves, fresh eggs, and some good old fashioned farm trading & bartering with great buys on local hand made items as well. We don't bring in commercial vendors, only handmade allowed. We will offer a poultry & animal swap as well during the market. We want to transport you back to a time of getting your foods fresh and your goods at good pricing or trading.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Joe Addison of Lazy River Kayak rentals for the use of his land starting this adventure. Without his help, the use of his land and belief in the market none of this would have been possible! Thank you!

We hope to offer everyone the best of what our area has to offer! If you or know someone that would like to become a vendor please see the section below for more information. See our location area and service area below -

Spots are 1st come 1st serve. We will operate through the year (1st & 3rd Saturday's) with some holidays excluded if necessary. Vendors are responsible for their own tents, tables, garbage, etc...we only provide a 12x12 area. During the winter month's we hope to have a fire

going if excessively cold.

We are asking if you can come to market (and you are a regular vendor) that you please plan to be there on the Saturday's you choose and stay until market is finished. The success of the market is dependent on

the vendors! If the vendors do not show up the people will stop coming. We need regular vendors and animal vendors to come when they say they are coming. We have a great day at the market - you will be pleased with the turn out.
