Supporting Our Local Farmers' Market


There were folks lined up Saturday, June 20th in their 'CARS' receiving curb service from Farmers of the Market. We don't know of any other market in Tennessee that offers this service. There is no excuse why you can't make it to the Cannon County Farmers' Market on Saturday Mornings between 6am and 10am, just drive up!

Even though the temperature was in the 90's, it was a beautiful day around the Courthouse Square. There was a slight breeze and shade provided by the trees on the North side of the Square making it comfortable to visit the Market. Many new customers arrived and enjoy the bounty provided by the Farmers. One family from "Dunlap, Tn" was returning home from vacationing in North Dakota and purchased several items from different Farmers to take home with them. Another customer said she had picked up what she will be having for dinner that evening: green beans, squash, blackberries, cabbage and potatoes and was going home to make a pan of cornbread and have a feast!
What's Pickin' from the Farmers: Mr. Parsley has green beans, potatoes, squash and should have 'Peaches and Cream' Corn in 2 weeks, Mrs. Gail W. has Wild Blackberries and assorted squash, The Smithson's have gorgeous cabbage, Flying S Farms has assortment of heirloom squash, cucumbers and baked goods and Darlene T. has beautiful bunches of carrots, onions and lettuce.

Look forward seeing everyone at the Market on Saturday. With a purchase you will receive a Cannon County Farmers' Market Tote Bag (while supplies last).
