The next time you’re low on produce, skip the supermarket and consider one of these Memphis farmers’ markets instead! Most are only open seasonally, but supporting farmers’ markets is one of the most effective ways to support local and regional makers. The setting is all about community and relationship-building between area suppliers, restaurants, and makers in the community.
Here’s a complete guide to Memphis farmers’ markets — including an orchard and a farm stand — to keep in mind for the coming months!
