Way Green Local Fare Market

About this market

On the first Saturday of the month from May through November, the grounds of the Okefenokee Heritage Center in Waycross transform into the Way Green Local Fare Market. Running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., it’s a great stop for early risers looking to stock up on fresh produce and locally made goods before the afternoon heat sets in. This outdoor market offers a slower-paced, once-a-month gathering where shoppers can take their time exploring what local growers and artisans have to offer. While it doesn’t run every weekend like some markets, its schedule makes it more of a monthly ritual—something to put on the calendar and look forward to. Its location at the heritage center also gives visitors a chance to experience a bit of the area’s history while supporting small vendors from the region.
