Keeping the Light On


This Market has been around for 30+years. We need your help to maintain our market. There is Rent to be paid, Insurance, Advertising,etc. We would like to continue supporting our community and our vendors.
In addition, we are trying to minimize our expenses and become solvent as an organization; but before that can happen, we must raise money to keep “The Light On”.
Will you help us?
We are the Greeneville Farmers Market, a 501 ©3 organization. We are Greene County and Greenville’s oldest established farmers market. We have been a part of this community since 1978. We provide access to local, homegrown goodness and quality handmade items, grown and made from people in our local communities. We accept SNAP/EBT and Fre$h Savings at our market. We would like to see more people shopping in Greene County, for fresh, healthy, local food and keeping the money here at home while helping the economy grow, and keep our farmers on their farms.

Please donate to us so that we can better serve You, and our Community and realize our goals.

Vendors, Staff and Board of the Greeneville Farmers Market, would like to be able to provide a venue for all to enjoy and purchase locally.

Sincerely,
The Vendors, Staff, and Board of
Greeneville Farmers Market

Friends and Neighbors from all over Greene county and beyond meet at the fairgrounds and swap stories, laughs and enjoy the bounty of their local farmers and artisans. Seasonal produce, handmade crafts and gifts, local honey, baked goods, jams and jellies are only a taste of what can be found here. This market also also accepts SNAP, and our FRE$H SAVINGS TOKENS, will give you an extra $20 this year for FRESH FRUITS & VEGETABLES for every $20 you purchase in SNAP. Don’t forget the fun and festivities of the Events that the Greeneville Farmers Market host each year. One such event is the Rooted in Appalachian Road Show coming July 15, 9 am to 1 pm.

Honey Garlic Fried Chicken

Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts butterflied or cut in half, or pieces
Frying oil

Marinade:
2 Cups Honey
1 cup water
2 cloves fresh garlic

Breading:
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
2 cups bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
1 tb paprika
1 tb oregano

2 eggs (whisked well)
2 cups flour

Start by marinating chicken breasts with honey, water and garlic in a bag in the refrigerator for 4 hours (preferably overnight). Drain well and discard, then pat breasts dry. Keep cool while making breading. Heat oil to 375ºF. Starting with flour, douse the breasts and then move them to the egg mixture. Next, douse again in panko mixture. Once evenly coated, start to fry one or two breasts at a time until internal temperature reaches 165 and they are golden brown. Let cool and enjoy warm. Store in aluminum foil in fridge.

Goes great with Chardonnay and a freshly picked salad from your Greeneville Farmer’s Market!
