A Saturday market trip works best when you arrive with a small shopping plan and leave room for an unexpected find. The DHA Farmers Market at Brook Run Park offers that option in Dunwoody. For an October visit, check the current vendor lineup before deciding which ingredients to buy and which meals to build around them.

DHA Farmers Market Saturday hours

The city’s market page lists Saturday hours of 9 a.m. to noon. The visitor bureau’s 2026 guide places the market at 4770 North Peachtree Road, at the front of Brook Run Park across from the playground. Its published season runs through December 19, with free admission and parking.

Save the market address rather than using City Hall’s contact address from a website footer. Share it with anyone joining you and agree where to meet. If a particular stall is the reason for your trip, check the organizer’s latest lineup first; rotating vendors mean a general description is not a promise that every product is available each week.

Choose two or three priorities before leaving home. That could mean vegetables for dinner, bread for the week and one treat to enjoy during the visit. A short list makes comparing stalls easier while preserving room to change plans when something looks especially useful.

Shop by questions as well as appearance

The city describes a range of produce, meats, seafood, eggs, honey, baked goods and other items. Start with a quick look around, then return to the stalls that fit your list. Ask a seller how an unfamiliar ingredient can be prepared and how long it is likely to keep at home.

For dietary requirements, ask about the specific product’s ingredients rather than relying on a broad market description. A mention of vegan or gluten-free options does not establish that every stall or preparation method meets your needs. Read available labels and clarify anything important before buying.

Payment arrangements vary by vendor according to the visitor bureau. Bring both cash and a card, and check prices before ordering. Avoid assuming that one stall’s payment method applies throughout the market. Reusable bags help keep separate purchases organized during the walk back to your vehicle.

Decide how you will transport purchases that need cooling before adding a long park visit afterward. Ask vendors about their products’ storage instructions. If your shopping includes items that should go home promptly, make that the first priority rather than stretching the outing to include every nearby activity.

Keep the park extension optional

For families, the nearby playground can make the market feel like more than an errand. Our Brook Run Park with children guide helps separate playground time from a short walking plan. Choose a manageable extension and set a return time before the group splits its attention between shopping and recreation.

A different visit could focus on local history instead. Our Donaldson-Bannister Farm grounds guide offers a separate Dunwoody outing. It does not need to be added to the same morning, especially when carrying groceries or accompanying children who have already had enough activity.

The city links the organizer’s current vendor updates, and the visitor bureau identifies rotating lineups. Recheck those resources for the Saturday you plan to attend. Weather, special events and individual vendor availability can affect the experience without changing the usual weekly schedule.

Primary information was checked October 11, 2026. Confirm current notices before departure, bring a modest list and ask questions at the stalls. A useful market visit ends with purchases you know how to store and enjoy.
