Located at 1103 Glenn Street in Opelika, Alabama, this weekly farmers market brings together local growers and food producers every Tuesday afternoon. The O Grows Farmers Market operates from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, making it convenient for shoppers to stop by after work or school. This is a community-focused market where you'll find vendors offering fresh seasonal produce, baked goods, honey, homemade jams and preserves, plants, and locally grown fruits. The market welcomes a mix of shoppers looking for quality food products and home gardeners seeking plants and seeds. As a farmers market rather than a craft fair or festival, O Grows emphasizes direct relationships between producers and consumers in the Lee County area. The atmosphere tends to be more casual and neighborhood-oriented than larger annual events, with regulars who know the vendors by name. You'll encounter people who prioritize fresh, local products, whether they're cooking at home, supporting local agriculture, or looking for specialty items like artisan honey and preserves that aren't typically found in grocery stores. The plant vendors draw gardening enthusiasts and those interested in starting or expanding their own growing spaces. The market makes shopping accessible to a wide range of customers by accepting multiple payment methods including credit cards, SNAP/EBT benefits, and WIC Cash. This inclusive approach means the market serves the broader Opelika community, not just those with cash on hand. If you're a vendor offering fresh produce, baked goods, preserved items, or plants, this weekly Tuesday market provides a regular opportunity to reach established local customers in the heart of Opelika.
