Young and old alike are invited to visit the Greeneville Farmers Market and enjoy activities that are part of the Rooted in Appalachia
Roadshow.Saturday July 15, 9 am to 11 am. Created to build a vibrant local food culture by deepening the connections between local farmers, consumers, restaurants and retailers; Rooted in Appalachia Roadshows

Rooted in Appalachia is a program of Appalachian Sustainable Development (ASD), a local non-profit.
Lindsey Keen lkeen@asdevelop.org, ASD’s Farmers Market Promotion Coordinator will be on-site at each event and explains, “There are a number of ways people can support Rooted in Appalachia’s
message – ‘Grown and Served Locally’. Folks can make a good faith effort to purchase locally grown foods year-round; They can grow their own food; Ask “what’s local” when shopping; Support local farmers and farmers markets; Participate in efforts to promote local foods; and Choose local beers and/or wines. Buying local is always smart. A dollar spent locally multiplies its value each time it’s spent in the local economy.”

Hello Everyone,

Well Summer is officially here. And hot as Blue Blazes.

Due to a cattle show in the Livestock Pavilion on Friday night, (and a lot of leftover cow patties on Saturday morning), we will be setting up near or under the A.J. Pavilion on Saturday 9 am to 1 pm.

Produce is starting to come in. We should have a few Green Beans this weekend and lots more starting next weekend. Watch our Facebook Page on Fridays for who is going to be at the market on Saturdays, and what they will be bringing(if they let us know they are coming.)

Thanks,
Vendors, Staff & Board
