Physical Market Closes for Season

Winter is coming….brrrrrr! So our Physical Market has closed. We had a great Halloween Bash. Thanks to all who came out.If you were not able to make it, I will be posting pictures on our Face Book Page over the next few days. We had several Kids enter the Costume and Pumpkin Painting Contest this year. Great Vendors, with a variety of things available. Apple Town Bagels did a great job of providing breakfast for both vendors and customers.

Thanks Greeneville for a great season.

BUT IT’S NOT OVER YET !.. That’s right, we are available year round, right here on gfm..locallygrown.net….

Some of our vendors grow year round in Green Houses Now…and we are encouraging them to make those products available to you the consumer, right here year round. If one of these farmers or artisans happens to be you or your neighbor, friend or relative…have them give me a call, (423) 552-3023 or have them check out this website to get signed up.

You don’t have to have a farm either, you can be a backyard gardener, that just has “xtras” and wants to make a little spending money.

Check out what our vendors do have available for purchase right now.

Thanks for Shopping Local.

Silent Farmers, Our newest group this year involved in the Farm and Food Teen Training Program at Rural Resources, will be out to greet all the ghouls at the Greeneville Farmers Market Halloween Bash. To help everyone prepare for indoor planting during the late fall and early spring, the teens would love to show and share with you some container gardening ideas, as well as how to implement your potting soil to make your plants good and happy. Show up at the top of each scary hour during market, starting at 9 a.m., to see our gardens and let us share with you. Also, other teens involved in the program will be selling caramel apples for $1.00 to raise money for the program. Come and cover your apple in caramel and then top with your favorite toppings.

See you there,

CEO

Testing Online Market

This is a test of email to customers.

June 8-13

Things are picking up!!

It’s hard to believe we are already into June. Where is the time going? Seems every week goes by faster and faster. In the gardens, tomatoes are growing, beans are sprouting, grapes are coming along. I’m told we will have Cherries at the market this week, and lots of lettuce and eggs. Apple Town Bagels will not be at market this weekend, so if you want some of those, please place your order before Wednesday, so I can pick them up Thursday when I meet with Kelly.

Looking forward to seeing all of you Saturday!

Market Manager
