Farmers Markets are a Tennessee tradition. Consumers can find almost anything their heart’s desire from fresh fruits and vegetables to fresh flowers and crafts.
The DeKalb County Farmers Market opens for the season this Saturday, May 12 and will be open every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until noon.
“Although we’ve been a bit behind schedule this season due to the early spring freezes, we’re anxious to get started and the first weekend promises to be an exciting one,” said Connie Tjarks.
“Be sure to stop by because we plan to have some lettuce and onions as well as vegetable plants and herb plants. You’ll also find Jean’s delicious fried pies and Roy’s barbeque. And the best thing about the Farmers Market is that it offers a different variety of locally grown and organic goods each week. We’ll be looking for you this Saturday at the DeKalb County Farmers Market located on East Bryant Street next to DeKalb County Ace Hardware and the County Complex,” added Tjarks.
