It is Summer and all across Nashville, neighborhoods are taking charge and creating their own weekly farmers’ markets for their communities. And because the markets fall on various days, we have more than a few chances during the week to support them.

Shopping at local farmers markets provides access to peak-season, farm-fresh produce and artisanal goods. These markets boost regional economies, help preserve surrounding farmlands, and reduce the environmental impact of long-distance food transport. They also foster community connection, offering an opportunity to learn directly from growers about food origins and preparation.

Below is a list from the Nashville Guru of the top local farmers’ markets and when to visit.
