Lettuces, Carrots and Radishes
Blue skies, beautiful weather and delicious Tennessee Farm fresh food… who could ask for anything more? Yesterday was the perfect day at the Franklin Farmers Market. There were lots of tasty fresh veggies like cabbage, beets and delicious green beans. Cucumbers are coming in season too, plus squash and greens. And even though strawberry season is just about over, it won’t be too much longer before blackberries and blueberries start showing up at the farmers market. It was great to see everyone at our Farmers Market on Saturday! Even some of our Growing Kids Garden students dropped by to say hello.

You know how we say it’s good to use one of the other entrances into the market? Here’s proof of why we say that.
Franklin Police directing traffic on Liberty Pike
The traffic on Liberty Pike at the main entrance to the market was backed up and the parking lot in that area was jammed. But folks coming into the market from other entrances had it much easier. So next Saturday, why not try the Franklin Road entrance and use the parking spaces on that side of The Factory. Chances are good that if you use a different entrance into the market, you won’t be delayed in traffic.
And a big thank you to everyone who observed the market’s official opening time. A lot of you early birds like to get to market first to make sure you get the tasty food you want. But the market’s opening time is 8am and we ask that you do not come into the market until it officially begins. The reason why is simple: It’s for your safety. There are farmers and vendors still setting up and moving into market right up to opening time. So shopping begins at 8am. Just listen for the bell signaling that market is open!

I love the Franklin Farmers Market and visit it every time I get to Nashville. I live in Houston, Texas and we very rarely get to meet the farmer who grew our vegetables. Just looking at all the wonderful photos makes me want to book a trip right now. See yall soon!
Judy, thank you for your kind comments! We are happy you have enjoyed our Farmers Market when visiting Nashville Tennessee. We have been blessed with good amounts of rainfall for our Tennessee farmers this spring. We are seeing beautiful market produce this year from all of our Tennessee Farmers. We hope you can make it back to Nashville soon! And when you do, please come say hi to us all at the Franklin Farmers Market!
