Farmers Market Bakers in Dahlonega

The Dahlonega Farmers Market is in its off-season. In 2026 it ran on Saturdays in Hancock Park, and several home and farm bakers sold bread, cookies, cakes and jam there. Here is when it runs, who baked for it in 2026, and how to buy from those bakers until it returns.

When and where

The City of Dahlonega says the farmers market is held in Hancock Park every year from May through October. Hancock Park is just off the Square at the corner of North Park and Warwick streets (54 North Park Street); the downtown authority’s event listings give the address as Hawkins St. In 2026 the market ran on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the last market on the downtown events calendar was Saturday, October 10, 2026. As of Oct 19, 2026 no later market and no winter market is published, and 2027 season dates are not out yet. Check the calendar again in spring.

Buying between seasons

Most market bakers publish no shop address or hours, so between seasons the sourced options are these:

• Sherry’s Sweets-n-Eats takes custom cakes, cupcakes and cookies through the Order Inquiry form on its own site. It also says a self-serve farm stand for sourdough breads, cookies, brownies and cakes is coming soon, with no date or location published.
• Blue Bench Garden, a family farm shop at 425 Porter Springs Rd (a short drive), sells bread, cookies, cakes and other baked goods made in its own kitchen. It is open Fridays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., as listed on its own site, checked Oct 19, 2026.
• The Christmas Market in Hancock Park, a Women’s Club fundraiser listed from December 5 to December 13, 2026, includes homemade sweets among its goods. See holiday sweets for the rest of the season.

Buying from a home baker

Most market bakers bake at home under Georgia’s cottage food rules. Since House Bill 398 took effect on July 1, 2025, the Georgia Department of Agriculture says cottage food operators no longer need a state license or pay a state licensing fee, and they can sell directly to you, online, at events and to stores and restaurants. Look for the new label statement: “This product was produced at a residential property that is exempt from state inspection. This product may contain allergens.” The Department’s older FAQ web page still shows the pre-2025 answers and old label wording, so treat that page as out of date. The same FAQ page notes that some farmers markets may ask vendors for a Food Sales Establishment License; that is a market’s own rule, separate from the state’s cottage food rules. This is a plain summary, not legal advice. For the longer version, read buying from a Georgia home baker, and for cake orders see custom cakes and home bakers.

Getting there on a market Saturday

Hancock Park sits beside the Warwick Street lots, which the city describes as ample all-day parking one block from the Gold Museum. The park also has the Dahlonega Gold Mine All-Abilities Playground, handy if you bring children. For every lot and time limit, see parking and getting here.
