Cairo State Farmers Market is a state agricultural market in southern Georgia, located at 1110 North Broad Street, Cairo. The Georgia Department of Agriculture’s current description identifies it as seasonal and names tomatoes, melons and cabbage, with pecan buyers present in season. Cairo, Georgia should not be confused with Cairo in Egypt. The venue’s relevance is as a local point connecting agricultural supply with buyers, rather than as an international commodity or derivatives exchange.
The state audit published in 2018 records 12 acres and 25,528 square feet of building space for Cairo. These are historical property-inventory figures, not measurements from 2026 or annual sales totals. The older audit’s operational description differs from the current seasonal label; for a visit, use the operator’s current page and direct confirmation. The market telephone number is +1 229 225 4071. The historical figures remain useful for understanding physical scale only within their stated period.
Buyers should ask whether sellers of the required product will attend during the intended week and whether wholesale quantities are available. For melons, specify type, size and ripeness; for cabbage, specify packaging and pack weight. Do not assume consistent availability throughout the year. A customer travelling from another area should confirm quantity and any reservation before arranging transport. A general description of seasonal products is not an inventory of stock ready for collection on a particular day.
A grower should establish whether the objective is to rent space for direct selling or to contact a buyer for a consignment. These are different relationships with the market. The former involves pitch conditions and charges; the latter involves product specifications and settlement with the purchaser. For pecans, clarify product form, moisture, cleanliness and weighing method, since differently prepared goods are not directly comparable in price. These are suggested discussion points, not a verified fee schedule or standard contract imposed by the venue.
Prices from other Georgia markets can provide background only after checking date and specification. Keep written confirmation of quantity, price, collection location and responsibility for loading. The presence of seasonal buyers does not guarantee the purchase of every shipment. An agreed smaller first lot can help a new supplier assess receiving arrangements, payment performance and the actual cost of getting produce to the customer.
