Everyone loves a good farmers’ market, and how could they not? It’s where you can pick up the freshest produce and market goods straight from their producers, and these kinds of markets tend to welcome a myriad of locals and farmers from both the surrounding geographical area and just beyond. It’s a melting pot that’s made up of passionate growers, chefs, parents, and children, and the Chattanooga Market is one of the best in the state.
The Chattanooga Market is a true Tennessee establishment, a producer-only public market that brings locally-grown produce straight to the hands of the buyer - no middle man or grocery store required.
The market is actually the largest producer-only public market in the greater region, which ensures the best variety as well as quality. You'll have the chance to meet and talk to your local growers, as well as learn about the kind people who work hard to grow food for your dinner table.
Bright and early in the morning you'll find vendors setting up their wares. In just a few short hours, this entire pavilion will be full of color and community, with delicious offerings to spare.
There are nearly 200 farms on-site selling fresh produce as well as local food artisans and vendors who sell their homemade arts and crafts. Local food trucks are also on-site.
While you're keeping your eye out for fresh goods, make sure that you pay close attention to the event schedule. You may just find yourself enthralled by cooking demonstrations or even live entertainment.
The Chattanooga Market is open on the weekends during the spring and summer, though the date will fluctuate depending on the year. Make sure you mark your calendars for that holiday market, too!
There’s something so quaint and magical about shopping at a weekend market. Fresh food, kind people, great memories. It sounds like a win-win for everyone! You can find out more about the Chattanooga Market either at its official website or Facebook page.
