Meet the growers!
This market is a producer only market with no wholesale or resale. Meet the people who produce the East Tennessee selections at the Market every Saturday.
With many vendors every Saturday, we offer a collection of goodies straight out of East Tennessee. We offer seasonal vegetables, fruits, honey, plants, baked goods, cut flowers, free range eggs and meats.
All growers and producers have certification to sell the product (if required for product sold). All vendors have gone through a lengthy application process. Eggs, meats, potted plants and potted herbs all are certified.
For more information, call 865-984-0954, Jim Brown or 865-684-8378, Chip Ramsey.
