Its a STRONG small town market that features wonderful local vendors with great traditional farm traits that has become a lost artisan style in our society. Other markets have lost the "look" of the farmer and the FRANKLIN FARMERS MARKET is majoring on it , along with the excellent quality of goods and the variety the local area demands.. Such a marvelous example to the children and the faith we have in people who grow our foods.. BRAVO to FFM !!

I have been a customer for over 12 years and have watched this market grow! The wonderful fresh food and great local products you get when shopping at the Franklin Farmer's Market is reason enough to be there every week, but the main ingredient that makes this market so successful - the people. We have the best farmers and artisans in the area! I look forward to my weekly visit to the market - these people are like family. They have watched my children grow up. It is great to be a part of this wonderful organization!

The Franklin Farmer's Market is a producer's only market, which means that you are speaking with the person who grows your food! The market gives the patrons the opportunity to know their farmer while receiving the highest quality, freshly harvested produce possible. Local meat, milk, vegetables and local artisans along with great music, create a perfect atmosphere for a Saturday morning family outing.

The idea of buying local, from farmers we know, who attend as vendors regularly, with wonderful fresh produce, flowers, and other related goods is embodied in the Franklin Farmer's Market. The vendors are friendly and well-informed, and the atmosphere is festive and welcomes everyone (and their dogs too!). The musical entertainment is the icing on the cake!

It's a great way to teach my kids about the value of farming, to educate them about hard work, dedication and "fruitful" results.

This is the most wonderful market around. It has grown by leaps and bounds in the few years it has been open and even sustains a winter market. We buy almost all of our fresh food here, along with our eggs, milk, bread, and sometimes meat. All of the farmers are absolutely local and have to grow the food that they sell. They are wonderful people, and it means to much to know the people who grow our food!
