New Additions & Vendors
We have more New Vendors, who will be selling both here online and at our physical Farmers Market, which opens May 11, at the Doak House Museum, 690 Erwin Hwy, on Tusculum University Campus.
Things change weekly, some vendors go on vacation, some things are sold, so check the list each week for updates.
Order from our vendors here on line now, and beat the rush. Get to know each vendor, what they stand for, what they sell ’BEFORE" the physical market opens.
WHEN THE PYHSICAL MARKET OPENS: Pre-ordering here, makes sure that what you want is held JUST FOR YOU, and not sold out before you get a chance to make it to the market.
Sincerely,
The Vendors, Market, & Staff of GFM
New Vendor, other vendors with Fresh Homemade Bread, Jellies, Crafts Available Now
WELCOME TO NEW VENDOR: “CHRISTY DID”
Christy tells us “I do machine embroidery on towels, burp cloths, etc. If it stands still, I will embroider it. I also make totes, Alzheimer’s activity mats, doll clothes and anything else that catches my fancy. I also machine embroider some of the items that I have made. You never know what will be under my needle in any given day.”
Christy will be one of our talented vendors at our first market of the season, our “Mothers Day Event” May 11, 9 am to 1 pm. 690 Erwin Hwy, The Doak House Museum, on Tusculum University Campus.
Great
Just a few short months till the physical Market will be opening again. We continue our location at the Doak House Museum, 690 Erwin Hwy. on Tusculum University Campus. Depending on the weather, and what is available, we will try to open sometime in May. Stay turned for updates closer to May.
Sometimes we open with only Handmade Items, due to weather not cooperating with the farmers. Everyone needs to eat, right? That includes the entrepreneur and their families that are making these awesome handmade items for sale, or the Direct Sales vendor, supplementing their family income.
So please help us support our locals, no matter what they do to bring in an income for their families. Both here, with the online market or the seasonal physical market.
Thank You
New Year
A New Year is just a few short hours away.
Our Vendors are already busy planning their gardens, making their special one of a kind gifts and looking for new recipes and planning on making their special ones for our market(s) both online and when the physical market opens again in May.
Please keep us in your hearts and thoughts as we prepare to bring you the best of the best local goodness.

Only 15 More Christmas Shopping Days
Only 15 more days to order those special one of a kind gifts from our Very Special Vendors.
The items you find on here can change weekly. Produce of course, depends on weather and time of year. Crafts depends on what is sold and what is made. Keep in mind that every handmade item is always different in some way so you are getting a very unique one of a kind item. Direct Sales Vendors always have a lot of unique items that can change weekly and new items added.
And how’s that back feeling ? Legs aching, have a headache ? We also have a licensed massage therapist available.
If you don’t know what to get someone, there are several Gift Certificates Choices. Let them make the decision what they would like best.
We will be closing the market down on December 15 through December 29 for Christmas Vacation.
We will reopen the market *December 31 *for your shopping pleasure.
