I hear daily from the MFM Volunteer Cultivator about their superb mission in bringing quality fresh fruits and vegetables to downtown Memphis with many unique and varied attractions (besides the produce) every Saturday.

The merchants provide fresh, healthy fruits & vegetables. Wide variety of offerings & you get to meet the farmers often. It's close to work and shopping there supports my efforts to re-direct my life toward making healtheir choices. Plus it reminds me of my childhood shopping w/ my Mom @ the Scott Street market.

Fruit is good and always fresh and is close to work. Makes it easy to just pop over there and get produce.

It's getting harder & harder to find good food in stores. Commercial agriculture is creating more nonfood than food, it seems and farmer's markets are a good solution. This one rocks and it's close to where Ilive & work.

great place to shop, obviously but they also take interest in teaching our children about what they have to offer, how to grow vegetables and even answer questions about animal pee on the vegetables - which led to a great conversation about washing vegetables and their hands!!!

we all need to support each other localy and our states farmers. Buying from the farmer helps you and him and cuts out the middle man so we can afford more food for our familys.

It is convenient with a large variety of local dealers who sell everything from plants for your garden, herbs, and flowers, produce, to honey, pies, and jewelry and lawn decorations. You never know who you will see there. It is just fun. Great way to shop.

I always try to buy American and local items. This Farmer's Market is a good centrally located markert with enough room for lots of venders and they always have good products. American farmers deserve our support!

When I was little, my mom used to take my brother and me to the Agricenter Farmers Market once a week. It was such a neat thing, to be able to see fresh produce grown by local farmers. Meeting these hard-working men and women inspired me to keep a small garden in the back yard as a child, and I grew tomatoes, watermelon, and squash. As a college student, I've found myself returning to the farmers market. I've come to appreciate the fresh, healthul fruits and vegetables sold there. I've also come to realize that the lower costs are not only beneficial to me, but to the famers as well. By removing the middle-man (namely, grocery stores), farmers are able to sell directly to consumers, pocketing most, if not all, profits. This is in contrast to farmers dealing with grocery stores, in which case the stores increase the prices of the goods in order to make a profit themselves, while the farmers recieve less of the overall profit of the sale of their goods. The Agricenter Farmers Markets is extremely important to the community in Shelby County and the Mid-South region. It not only provides a means by which farmers can make a living, but it also allows consumers to develop relationships and communicate directly with farmers.

It's a wonderful, refreshing oasis of fresh foods and produce in a congested and overly urban environment. It's not just nice, it's borderline necessary these days.

Because it's the BEST, largest selection of vegetables, fruits and plants, organic varieties and actual farmers who can talk intelligently about their own products. Always fresh items, clean, easy to access products and great prices! A true "farmer's Market", not a trendy hang out!

For the diversity of selections and to support local farmers. It is unique to Shelby County as it draws upon a larger cross section of local farmers. A great resource to this area that must be maintained.

It is interesting,has "lots of health" sitting in front of you. I am a Master Gardening Intern & enjoy picking out fresh fruits & vegatables when I go to to UT Ext. center for a class. Also it is good for "one-stop shopping" because there is a flower garden nursery next to Farmer's Market.

Closest for me and is year round. Now there's a vendor hauling fresh seafood up from the Gulf Coast on Fridays! It doesn't get any better.
