Reviews for: Jonesborough Farmers Market

The Jonesborough Farmers Market is a great place to shop for all your produce needs. They even have internet ordering and delivers early to those that order, its great for people like me that normally always works on Sat. and cant get to the market. The produce is locally grown here and our farmers work hard to deliver us their goods. The produce is great, the prices are even greater and what else can I say--it,s Jonesborough, Tennesee

It's a great place to find locally grown produce. Lots of hard work and many, many volunteer hours have made this an outstanding market in just a couple of years since its opening.

It is a wonderful place to spend Saturday morning! Great fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, plants, carfts and artisans in a wonderful setting with excellent music. What more could a person want?

This market has a wonderful personality and I love the volunteer market manager. She is the greatest!

It provides excellent natural foods and resources, and forms a wonderful community!

It is a dream come true for Jonesborough, and for our farmers... the wonderful opportunity to support local growers, buy quality produce and be entertained while enjoying the pleasure of the company of our friends and neighbors.

GREAT items, Wonderful Breads and Veggies! The music is an extra special touch and the people are some of the best I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with!

I love supporting local businesses and farms. A local market is a great way to shop, I hope it grows and grows! No pun intended!!

Jonesborough Farmer's Market has higher quality of produce with fewer store-bought items for sale than other area markets, a better variety of items for sale, and it supports our area farmers!

I love supporting local, hard working farmers. I also like the freshness of the produce.

Only locally grown/produced product, easy to get along with the people who run the market.

I love supporting local farmers and I appreciate the methods they use to grow their produce, it is the way I want to be feeding my family.

I love being able to buy fresh, local produce. I am proud to be able to support local farming, as well as buying great products for less than I'd pay in a traditional grocery store!

I like being able to buy local produce. The people are so nice to talk to and they have quality products.

The farmers and crafters at this market really are the grower/creators of the things they sell. Talking with them is a rich experience every Saturday and it's fun to know they are reaping a financial benefit from doing something they love. SK

I love the variety of offerings and the sense of community every Saturday morning. Online ordering is great mid-week.

There are always wonderful products to choose from, they have live local music, they restrict sellers to those who only grow their own or make their own, and the art is amazing!

It's close to home. I also believe in supporting your local farmers as much as possible. It helps everyone!

wonderful produce, the goat cheese is delicious! And Jonesborough is just a wonderful little town and a great place to live. Wonderful to have so many local vendors.

everyone is so nice, the market is neat, the town itself is wonderful, and love the web site

The food grown here is the best! I have always preferred produce that is locally grown. It just tastes better! Also, I believe that the local farmers should especially have our support because they work very hard to produce their bounty. Jonesborough's market is very nice. It has a good variety of produce and homemade items. And the music just sets the mood.

The Jonesborough Farmers market is the best place to get locally grown produce and locally made baked goods and other products. I love going with my family to shop and enjoy the live music and atmosphere. I especially love the cafe they have set up this year!

Has such a variety of homemade and homegrown foods and has an "ole timey" atmosphere. Everything is fresh and appealing; most of all, locally grown & made.

I think that people need to eat better and I like to support local farmers. I have my own garden, but once in a while I go to Jonesborough.

The best in food and friends is always home-grown! It's my experience that Jonesboro has some of the best of both.

The JFM is not, unlike some nearby "farmer's markets," merely a fleamarket for vegetables, as a friend of mine put it recently. Rather, it delivers what its name implies: Friendly people who are the producers of what they sell, guaranteed, fresh local produce (you don't have to look to be sure there aren't boxes from California under the table), delicious recipes and specialty items, and live music. What more could you ask for?

They support and help local growers. The atmosphere is happy and friendly. Non-Smoking rule. Wonderful veriety of produce plants and artwork.

There is such a wonderful variety all the time and it is so much fun to go there!

Because its fresh, fun, and we can think about the farmer's nice smile while we munch on his cucumbers.

Unusual and best quality items, mostly organic. Many vendors we know and always there are friends there!

To support the local farmer and artists in our area. You just can't beat farm fresh vegetables.

It is so much fun and the community spirit is amazing...It has given the citizens of our small town a chance to support our local farmers with delicious produce and goodies as well as enjoying the music and towns people.

The Jonesborough Farmers Market has been well-planned and well-executed from the beginning! It goes far beyond the fabulous local produce it offers... to creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and community spirit that enriches our small town!

A great place to purchase good local produce and visit with friends. It also has a touch of flair with the music and some of the additional vendors.

The Jonesborough Farmers' Market is run by energetic, ethical, creative & thoughtful folks who make wise decisions regarding what will fulfill the customers' needs along with offering goods to expand their taste buds' horizons! It is just a lovely market with a very bright future.

Local is best--support our friends, better quality produce that doesn't have to travel, sense of community----LOVE the music!

Because everyone is so caring and supportive. The farmers are the vendors and it's all grown or produced on their local farm.

They have wonderful local produce and Ive eaten it at my friends house in Jonesborough, Alexis.

I support the famers market because of the great food thatis there, and the socialization that takes place every Saturday morning!

Fresh produce, grown locally on small farms. I like to know where my food comes from and the people who grow it. Our farmer's market let's me do that.

The JBO Farmers Market always has a great & diversified selection of items. It is a wonderful community project!

On the recommendation of a trusted and respected friend who lives in the area. I support locally grown produce and the folks that tend the crop and bring it to market.

They have something for everyone. The best plants, produce, and bake goods in the area are at the JFM.

It is so necessary to buy and eat locally and I know the people who grow and buy the produce and how important that is to them.

I hear it is the best offering wonderful products and encouraging a sense of community.

good local food, community atmosphere, good music and crafts...what's not to love?

Every town needs a farmers market and Karen has done a wonderful thing by getting the market started.

Such a great way to buy and support the local economy! Plus a fun community atmosphere with music and food!

This is a market that started small, really small, decided who they wanted to be (all local) and stuck with it. In only its second year the market is thriving with great LOCAL products. It's a wonderful place to spend your money and visit with friends.

I love to see the local small farmers have a place to sell the products of their hard work. Besides that, it tastes great!!

It is so wonderful to buy food from the actual farmers that grew/produced it. It is expanding every time I go with new and exciting treats!

I strongly support locally grown produce. It helps the community and encourages healthier eating habits. There's nothing tastier than fresh vegetables from the field. I am also sure this manager is doing a great job.

I like the fact that in todayÂ?s climate of uncertainty about the quality of the foods that are sold at the chain stores I know where the produce, baked goods, canned goods, etc., come from. I also enjoy Â?keeping my money homeÂ? by supporting my local farmers and small businesses.

I think it is a fantastic idea for the community to eat locally grown food and to support the farmers. It is healthy for the people and an economic stimulus. It is a win-win situation.

The market founders and leaders work very hard to provide local farmers a marketplace for their home-grown produce and vice-versa. It's an all-volunteer effort in its infancy, and the response has already been enormous. The market helps create for us a better quality of life for our residents.

jonesborough farmers market is not only a great resource for locally grown and handmade goods, it is also an excellent meeting place for our community. we love it.

Our Farmer's Market does more than bring in local produce, it shows the importance of community. Everyone wants to belong to something greater than themselves, and our market it a wonderful way to connect, and Jonesborough is a terrific community to grow.

Our market only sells what is created by the seller. That makes for a great connection between the sellers and the customers. The atmosphere is also perfect - it's very quaint and personal!

I love getting the best fresh produce from my friends and neighbors.Dominick (a local 11 year old) raises and sells at the market, and is always handy to answer questions on his organically grown products.

Local produce and products, friendly vendors and a friendly, community feeling to the market.

It is the bomb ... our town is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's exciting to know that the vendors @ this farmer's market are local. I feel good about buying from people that care about their community!

Produce limited to local growers and vendors - also a great amount of organic produce from growers who are neighbors and friends.

I used to live in Jonesborough and the Farmers Market is such a great community event that brings everyone together. I would love to see them get additional funds to sustain it!

I was born and raised in JB and my parents still live there and shop at the market!

I think what Karen and others have done by creating the Jonesborough market is not only a contribution to the TN and NC area -- but also to the world!

It is very important to going green to support local farmer's markets. The Jonesborough market also includes children and activities for children in their market. It is truly a family affair! Karen Childress is doing a great job.

I thought it was great when I was visiting there! what a great selection, they have!

I love seeing my friends and neighbors....hearing live music AND buying my favorite heirloom tomatoes

Jonesborough is my town of residence and the Farmer's Market has our local farmers and crafters providing our needs and desires. Everything is fresh,and very tasteful, best of all everyone is friendly and you feel like you are home and can just sit a spell.

I love to support local Farmers Markets which provide wonderful tasty and healthy foods.

It's fabulous to have such fresh, local produce plus so much more right here in Jonesborough.

I'm sure this is one of the best Farmers Markets in the country, especially since my niece is involved! Karen is so talented, dedicated, organized & capable! I buy from my local farmers market whenever I can because I so appreciate their efforts & mostly the wonderful, fresh produce from here in CO. (Our peaches rank right up there with GA's!) Keep up the great job, Karen!

It is SO sweet, music friends, good food, I love eating a salad and knowing the name of the person that grew it as I am chewing it.

Because of the truly grassroots, vital, beautiful work that they do. And that they feed people!

Viewed site online and being involved in local farmers markets in my area, found Jonsborough market an outstanding example.

Because I am a vegan and I really enjoy being able to buy my produce locally. Plus, it's an enjoyable atmosphere and the music provided just adds to the pleasure of shopping.

Quality, locally grown (only) produce! The local vendors are knowledgeable about their products, friendly and willing to share their wisdom. The market is a wonderful place to purchase good food, meet great people, hear talented local musicians and go back home feeling like you have participated in something good for body, mind and soul. I call the Jonesborough market, the "Kinder Gentler Farmers Market".

jonesborough farmers market is the best place around here to get fresh produce and plants (aside from the Crockett greenhouse, but they don't sell things as long as the farmers market does). i really like being able to go get produce, breads, candies, and a cup of coffee on saturday morning for little money and be able to enjoy the company of my friends and know that i am supporting local people at the same time.

We found it to be a wonderful and necessary market to have at our city. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Local fruits and vegetables, etc. our so delicious and healthy. Keep it going.

GREAT people! GREAT community! GREAT atmosphere! I especially love how the market has given us the opportunity to bring student organic projects to the public, providing a direct link for student involvement. I love, love, love seeing friends and neighbors on Saturday mornings and sharing the goods from garden and home. It's also a great connect for finding out more about growing or crafting or baking. I mean it, this is prime time here in Jonesborough!

IF KAREN IS ANYTHING LIKE HER DAD, CHARLEY, I KNOW HER FARMER'S MARKET IS DOING THE JONESBOROUGH COMMUNITY A GREAT SERVICE!!

a friend, charley rogers asked me to vote to help the farmers market in Jonesborough. I can't visit in person, but I support your enterprise.

Because my step-daughter founded this wonderful market which will benefit all who shop there.

Your volunteer manager is an excellent ambassador for Jonesborough! The market is outstanding.

Because Karen has done such a wonderful job for such a much needed and appreciated purpose!

it is a wonderful way to bring the freshest items to your community and neighbors!

I appreciate the support that this market gives to natural and sustainable agricultural practices. The Saturday market is a community event and the on-line market provides another opportunity for vendors and customers to connect. The market board is hard working and dedicated to the growth and success of the Jonesborough Farmers Market.

It is a big chuck of my income, I am a chocolate producer. I am proud of my neighbor who grow produce organic.

This local only market has great fresh foods, interesting handmade items, fantastic bluegrass music, and the folks who organize it are working hard to support local sustainable agriculture.

I support the Jonesborough Farmers Market because everything there is local and the general atmosphere is so friendly and easy-going.

As a vendor, the community is very supportive of us. As a customer, the produce is great, and the vendors are friendly and helpful. A small, but growing market that supports local growers, not those who resell others' produce.

I support the Jonesborough Farmer's Market because they support local farmers and local product.
