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,

New Items are coming in weekly. While not all our vendors are on the online store, we want to keep you as informed as possible. From what I am told, we will have Cherries, onions and beets June 14th at the market. Circle E Beef will not be able to make the market, so be sure to get your order in so it can be delivered for your pickup.
Did you know that Greeneville Farmers Market accepts SNAP Benefits? And to help you stretch your food dollars even further, we are offering up to $10 in "matching funds". When you purchase up to $10 in SNAP Benefits, we will double your purchase. Tokens need to bought at the market and exchanged for the purchase in person only. Stop by the information desk for more details.
Coming Events
Rural Resources Kids will be at the Market with a Worm Composting Display, and will be happy to tell you about the benefits of this technique of compost. Stop by and have a talk with them, and then visit our farmers and get to know them.
June 21, 10AM to 1 PM
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
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!

What's Growing?
Good Afternoon!
The weather is certianly warming up! But, it looks like our temps will take a little bit of a dip later this week. That is fine for me, and all the plants growing. It will be good to get a taste of spring this week.
Don’t forget, pick up is now at the Market on Saturdays, from 8 am to 12 PM. The Market is located at the Greene County Fairgrounds, under the livestock pavilion. Don’t take a chance on your favorite vendor NOT being at the market. Place your orders online to ensure delivery on Saturdays. And pick up your extras while there.
