Our Mission
Monroe Locally Grown Market is a group of small farms and producers located in Monroe and the surrounding areas. All member farms are dedicated to supplying their customers with the freshest and highest quality vegetables, herbs, mill products, dairy, eggs, meats, fruits, flowers, and transplants. Participating farms vary in size and specialty, but all carry the common thread of dedication to community, environment, health and education.
Monroe Locally Grown Market uses cooperative efforts to achieve steady and dependable means of supplying the highest quality produce and other products. Locally Grown members work to find new and innovative methods to preserve greenspace, protect our natural resources, support our local economy, provide meaningful work, and return to a more self-sufficient community life. Each farmer realizes the importance of educating the community about the benefits of sustainable agriculture practices to our lives and our land.
Why Support Locally Grown?
Enhance local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Monroe Market Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.

Ordering Options
Our CSA Produce Packages contain produce supplied by our market farmers. Each farm will be contributing 2-3 produce items for a combined total of 6-9 fresh veggies in each package. Our CSA Complete Packages contain produce, a meat selection, baked goods, and eggs.
Using our online market, you can also order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. You will be buying directly from each farmer, not MMLG, just like at a traditional farmers market. The weekly email lists the produce, milled products, fresh flowers, and artisan goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.
Placing Orders
Each Monday afternoon, an email is sent to everyone with an account here letting them know the market is open for the week. Customers place their orders for the week any time after that email goes out, but no later than Thursday at 5:00 p.m. Orders are placed here on our website.
Growers receive their orders Thursday night and harvest on Friday and Saturday.
Picking Up Orders
From 11am until 2p.m. on Sundays, families can pick-up their produce at
City of Monroe City Hall
215 N. Broad Street
Monroe, GA 30655
