Upon my first visit to this market, I was warmly welcomed, not bomb barded. There is a wide variety of local crops and crafts. Enough product to supply canning needs and crafts that wow, yet are traditional and giftable. I'll be going back again and again. If you want to support your local farmer, artist, this is the place to be!

I love several aspects of this market. It is under a pavilion, so the weather doesn't matter; there are bathrooms, just in case and there is lots of free parking. The vendors, are AWESOME! They always have such a seasonal variety of produce, eggs, meat, honey that are all FARM FRESH. There is also craft vendors for special gifts. Don't bother going downtown- No parking, no restrooms, and no quality! This one at the old Fairgrounds is the only one to check out in town.

We at the Depot Street Farmers market have promised to be positive toward the other markets in town. We are not in competition with any of them. They all serve their own purposes and would like this respect returned to us. By telling people not to go downtown because there is no parking or bathrooms ( both untrue statements) they are denigrating the local food movement. This site should support all markets and farmers and not approve any posting that bashes another.

I think that it is wonderful that we have three good farmers markets in Greeneville. Imho they all three bring some good things to the table. The distance between the Saturday markets help to serve both sides of the town very well. Its great that the market is covered at the fairgrounds especially during raining mornings. The market downtown on Depot St helps to serve the people who live in the area who do not have transportation and walk to the market and downtown, plus they are helping to promote the revitalization of downtown Greeneville. The farmers market that opens on Friday afternoon across from the car museum serves the many commuters going home or to work on Friday afternoon. I think instead of bashing the other markets we should all help promote these great markets that makes where we live a better place.

why are you allowing this person to bash the market in downtown Greeneville with lies....there are rest rooms all over the area, they have a porta pottie on site, there are at least 100 parking spaces within 200 feet of the market and the vendors are some of the best in Greene county. I am shocked that you have allowed such statements to continued to be posted.

Negative statements about two downtown farmers markets that work extremely hard to serve the downtown Greeneville area.

The other market they speak about DOES have bathrooms, parking, and takes EBT... They're lying.

There is a huge variety of fresh produce, as well as plants and crafts! And there are informational seminars! The first one several weeks ago was about bee balm! And there is another one coming up about growing day lillies!

We don't have a lot of choice around here--this market originated with our local organization Rural Resources and it does a fantastic job bringing good, local food. Thanks!

We give back to the land by supporting the people who harvest it's bounty, so they can keep doing what they love,and we can enjoy the fruits of that labor. The Greeneville Farmer's Market is not only helping keeping the downtown area vibrant, but doing a service to the economy. Fresh and local is good.

It's the closest to me & they run a mobile market to folks in subsidised housing & retirement communities who might not have transportation to the market.

the organization supports the local economy by connecting food growers with local consumers. Supported in part by a local agricultural non-profit, Rural Resources
