Millport Alabama Farmers Market

Fresh Local,
Farm Food

Our farmers at the Millport Farmers Market range from young to old. We have farmers who started as early as 9 years old all the way to farmers well into their 80s. They are all very passionate about their produce and products. It’s a place for kids to learn about what it takes to grow their own food, providing them opportunities, as well as, experiences to strengthen their leadership and knowledge of agriculture and farming.

Our Founder

In 2018, Susan Hudgens planted a seed and created Millport Farmer’s Market in the heart of Millport at the walking track. Getting it up and running wasn’t easy and it took a lot more than Susan had anticipated, but she didn’t give up. Her primary objective was to bring the community back together while prodiving an important benefit.

As a little girl Susan had a big dream of having her own farm with animals and gardens. Gardening is therapeutic to her, so she wanted to share this love with others.

But it was much more complicated to establish the Millport Farmers Market than she would have ever expected. The community didn’t believe in her and told her the town was too small for this idea. But it didn’t stop Susan for making her dream come true, but instead she saw it as a challenge.

Thanks to the strong support from the community, the South Lamar Chamber of Commerce, and Millport Mayor Stanley Allred the Farmers Market is going strong.
