Wednesday Markets Booming on Market Square

Market Square started a place for local farmers to share their produce locally. Nourish Knoxville's Market Square Farmers’ Market is open every Wednesday and Saturday in May through November. Every week, you’re likely to see a new product on the market. This time of year, you can expect to see fruits and vegetables, in addition to baked goods, honey, herbs, roasted coffee, meats, eggs and artisan bread.

Hudson Farms’ offerings include tomatoes, beans and zucchini. “These three vegetables are good this season in my opinion because they grow really good in the summer time.”

Justice Farms Produce offers a crop of corn, cabbage and cherry tomatoes. “I personally prefer these two as the best vegetables for this season because they grow good and fast.”

Buffalo Trail Orchard sells their berries, apples and peaches. “These are the best fruits in season because when they grow in they are very good and delicious. The fresher the better.”

Spring Oak Farm tomatoes, okra, peppers and cucumbers. “These are good foods for the season, and I prefer my customers to get these fresh vegetables.”

Seven Springs Farm

Seven Springs sets out a smorgasbord of blueberries, grapes, tomatoes, okra, cabbage, cauliflower, squash and peaches. “Greens are out for this season, and Watermelons are coming and corn too. Peaches are really good in this season for the summer.”
